Driving for 11 hours through rain in the mountains with stupid semis would be the worst. I don't like the mountains, they just keep curving and I don't like how semis drive.

The worst : About noon, September 5, 1997 on I 80 at Rock Springs, Wyoming, eastbound we ran afoul of a piece of oil well drilling company's gear (no time to avoid it) our car rolled over multiple times, across the median, across the west bound lanes, flipped into the barrow pit. Wife badly shaken, roof pushed in on my side, breaking my neck.

The best : This spring in Denver, traveling in town and the countryside. The early things are gloriously in bloom, Natures gift of heavenly beauty, the fruit trees and also the blooming ornamental trees have such branches laden with the most profuse blooms I have ever seen. Every turn brings a new sight for the eyes feed on. Our traveling recently has been pleasure trips in and around town. Nature seems to be making a very special effort to produce the most happiness possible.
