Welcome to PlattDrives

We’re riding shotgun with Mom and Dad on a grand adventure around the continental US, starting in Utah and circling out to the elbows and kneecaps of the country. Nearly a decade on the heels of DadRides, this trip has fewer tires to go flat and less cardio, but more leisure time and a lot more sightseeing. Last time, mom took the wheel while dad took the wheels, but this time, Mom Rides.
