Welcome to Two Lane Rambler (TLR)

Our staff hopes this blog will inspire you to get out of your easy chair and travel throughout the United States.  Much is written about our great cities and historic sites and we enjoy visiting them too.  But, there is so much more to see that you seldom read about.

TLR’s efforts will be dedicated to helping you “Discover Rural America”.  We have our roots in small towns and have spent much of our lives traveling in rural areas and we hope to share with you what we think makes them special and sometimes unique.

-Roger Sanders, the Two Lane Rambler
