This is a passion turned into a business, created by one crazy lady - ME - Sandee, who discovered how much she loves nature and road trips - born out of necessity (and the fact that I'm frugal). Crazy Lady Adventures started from humble beginnings when I had to take my daughter to competitions on a tight budget (often with her friends in tow).  We would sleep in tents, pack coolers for food, and spend as little cash as possible. In fact, my 1st trip to New Orleans was with 10 kids, in a CHEAP hotel, hiding all of them in my 1 room! What I didn't realize then, is that small necessity opened up a passion in me that I knew was there but had no idea the magnitude.  

 

My passengers and I learned to experience the excitement of the journey (or some just tolerated it) and not just speeding to the destinations.  So, camping in KOA parks, long lunches at road side rest stops (New Mexico has really beautiful rest stops), and restroom breaks in some areas that I even questioned, became the norm for anyone riding along on the adventure. I learned to savor every road trip through all of my senses. 

There is nothing else I would rather do than jump in Natasha (read BLOG for more on Natasha) and travel this vast land and see all there is to see. I take road trips for the sake of road trips, not the destination.  I love to explore the outdoors, see the beautiful nature that God created, learn about the history of anything we encounter, stop and smell the flowers (trees, animals, storms, etc), interact with the locals, take backroads and enrich our knowledge with the culture of that area. We even planned an entire trip around driving the old Route 66 (the destination was the road).  I have traveled by myself, with only one child, and with multiple people.  The more people I can share this world with the better.  You will never experience the absolute true beauty unless you physically stand there yourself BUT if I can give you even half the experience I have had then you will be able to see and appreciate what this country has to offer.
