Should You Consider Visiting A Small Town

"Hey look up, check it out, that sign says Farmville."
"Yeah, mmmeh heh, and that curve in the road could land us in the ditch, so slow down!"
"Whoa... this is the best road trip ever."

What my idiot friend and I didn't appreciate after swerving along local winding roads, was falling through the cracks and being another over-the-road casualty... such accidental factors isn't contained to just one place and time.
My co-driver and I, we live on the busy highways, trucking to make an weekly paycheck. And while I love the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Sometimes I want to get away. There's something about being in a small town that's relaxing--- figure it out less traffic, people are more friendly, less crime, a few reasons small towns are great for vacations.
When we arrived in Farmville, I was filled with the thrill of expectation. Like colorful showey sunsets, evenings enjoying what the locals enjoyed, wildlife viewing and excellent foods. There are many farms brimming with fresh produce, homemade country sausages, melons, grits, flowers and honey. It's a King's ransom... fields of cotton abound in the Fall... with fodder providing feed for the animals. Plus, the ponds and wildlife provide an excellent opportunity for photographers... It's more than what meets the eye, even the wildlife seems to be at peace.
Safety tip: using cruise control during inclement weather can be dangerous. The constant speed can increase the chance of hydroplanning and losing control. Use your cruise control only when the roadways are dry and clean, never during rainy or icy conditions. Never use your cruise control in city or congested traffic, the decreased control of your vehicle could contribute to an accident.
