I hope Rachel reads these posts. She obviously doesn't need anyone's approval to do whatever she wants, but perhaps she will appreciate knowing how many women hope to be as free as she is when they are her age! Congratulations and many more road trips!!!

It's so sad that our President and so call Leaders in Washington doesn't love our country like this lady does.

More power to people like this, not Washington government.

Stand up for our country now, before it's too late.

I cannot say it better than the last comment I saw--God Bless Rachel and may God Bless America! But it only figures she would have the guts, will and compassion that she does--she is from the Greatest Generation. Thank you, all of you from that Greatest Generation, that kept us free from tyranny and worked so hard and honestly, taught us the values of your fathers' generation before you and remembered and taught us with not only words but deeds what made our nation great--especially those of you who fought and died or were wounded, and their families.

Hi Rachel,

You have me smiling again. I've watched all your videos now. I appreciate our flag as you do and what it stands for! My Mom always placed her flag off the porch, and in it would come when it rained. Thanks for sharing your high values Rachel! Again you inspire all of us! So glad chariot is up and running again : )

Take great care,

Krippy

She is absolutely the best. If we all had the same attitude wouldn't it be great? Don't we all hope that we are in the great shape she is in with the great attitude that she has when we are her age? WOW!

Rachel, I love your spunk. I wish I could keep my car running beyond 200,000 miles and that is just a dream. They just don't build cars like yours anymore.

I love this spunky Lady. Ignore the pesimists. Keep doing your own thing. You only get 1 ride through life, might as well enjoy it.

I hope I have your spunk and determination when(and if) I reach your age! I've crossed the country a number of times on my own and love road trips. I too appreciate the freedom having my own car affords. It's 13 years old and has over 200,000 kms on it.
Good luck and be safe. Cheers!
