When I’m traveling on the Trace I tend to get in the zone. I get lured into a meditative state, looking at the landscape, watching the road, and pulling over to immerse myself in stories of the past. Because I don’t pass billboards or other reminders of the outside world, not much breaks me out of what I call my Trace trance.
