Stories to come someday: Along US Highway 12

I'm currently toying with a little project of stories and memories of life along US12. It came to me one day that most of my 69 years have been lived in proximity to this highway that stretches across the northern USA from Detroit to Aberdeen, Washington. Highway 12 could be a theme, I thought. I looked at maps and measured distances. All but about four or five of my years have been lived within 100 miles of that highway, if we count a piece that only became Route 12 later, and maybe a spot or two that were on 12 then, but aren't now. As I dug into the project idea, I've discovered US12 locations that go back a couple generations in family history, too. Before there were numbered roads or automobiles ancestors settled where 12 would come. It gets better and better for me. Sooo, if I can write it the way i feel it...

Anyway, if the collection begins to come together in form worth sharing, I'll post stories here from time to time. Some will be personal or family memories, distant enough that I can't claim anything to be truly factual. I expect that some will come only from imagination and some may start as memories but get drawn into fiction without much basis in fact.
