I'm Driving Cross-country Right Now

[Street Glider]

There's not too much that beats a good road trip.

I spent six weeks on the road last year. I drove from St. Augustine, Florida to Boston, Boston to Seattle, Seattle to Newport, Oregon, and then Newport to Boston on US-20, which is the longest road in the United States, before heading back to Florida. I picked my daughter up in Seattle and we had an absolute blast...

Two hours is my absolute limit for driving now.
I really could use a driver.
I used to make my wife drive me everywhere, but she's worse than I am, now.

The little Corvette is officially asleep for the winter, now, even though it's 70ºF in November, here,
and the Grand Cherokee is a chore,
even though it has electronic aides that the vintage roadster of course doesn't.

Wow! That's quite the journey!

Home Sweet Home!

Hells Canyon is a ten-mile-wide canyon in the Western United States, located along the border of eastern Oregon, a small section of eastern Washington and western Idaho. It is part of the Hells Canyon National Recreation Area which is also located in part of the Wallowa-Whitman National Forest.

I'm still planning your move to Texas months after the fact.

Tuesday I "pussed out" and only made it from north of Seattle to Portland.

But yesterday I made it all the way from Portland to Reno. My vehicle has a 5.2 liter engine, seat coolers/heaters, cold AC and instant heat and drives like a dream.

It was raining yesterday in Portland, but when I got to Ashland (southern OR) it stopped and my navi took me east over the Sierras, through the Lassen NF in Northern CA and dumped me out in a town called "Susanville, CA". From Susanville it was a straight, 90-mile shot south to Reno. I made it in time to have all you can eat Sushi

Note: I'm at the Circus Circus in Reno this morning. DO NOT STAY HERE. I've been coming here since the 80's and it's been great, but they've let it devolve into a dump. Holes in the lampshades, lights flickering in room, no toiletries in the bathroom.

Also, a quick note about traveling alone: Getting back into my vehicle after a pee stop yesterday I heard a couple arguing about the guy's driving - "You drive like a maniac", she screamed at him. <-- I do not mind traveling alone one bit. I have satellite radio - that's all I need

I hope you had fun. I used to travel a lot when I was younger. When I was discharged from the service I and some friends of mine took a trip from Monterey, CA down to Patagonia and back on motorcycles.
