10 Benefits of Going on a Road Trip

I'm on a short road trip across Arizona this weekend for no other reason than I want a change of scenery. The weather is getting a little warmer in the northern part of the state so I packed a few things and pointed my truck in that direction. Right now, I'm writing from a coffee shop in beautiful Payson.
