Approximately here. Not Roanoke, but whatever town Antigone is in. I forget at the moment. And we may press on west from OKC. Not sure yet.

at least two oil changes on the road, then.

Looks like I'll be putting about 9k miles on my car on this spring/summer road trip.

Holy crap, I woulda sold it too.

Best car I ever had was a 1987 Nissan Sentra. It got 35+ mpg, taxes were about 20 bucks a year and it went for over 500K!!!!

No kidding.

Like me and my former Jag, it seems you and your Honda are spending more and more time apart from one another.

My wife and I have had it with the way things have been going lately.
So we decided to escape reality for a couple of days.
Made cheap hotel reservations through Captain Kirk.
Left really early one morning, drove up one of my favorite highways...(395) on the eastern side of the Sierras.
Stopped in Bishop for breakfast (almost 5 hours from my house).
Drove up to Mammoth Ski area because my wife wanted to see it. Commercial disappointment there. We're not skiers anyway.
Stopped at a frozen over Convict Lake...


Drove back to Bishop and up the canyon to Bishop Creek. Beautiful spot.
We even saw a bald eagle.
The road was closed at around 10,000 feet. (Still much snow around!)...


Went back down to Bishop.
We shopped. (My wifes favorite pastime.) (I found a cool Hwy. 395 store too!)
Ate dinner and spent the night in our cheap room.
Got up really early again and headed for Death Valley.
Drove through and stopped at all the interesting spots...


Headed home through the back desert roads of the Mojave Scenic Preserve.
Stopping at the Kelso Train Depot...

And Amboy on Route 66...


A great quick trip!
Lots of miles.
From over 10,000 feet to -282 elevation. (Only in California!)
The car got great gas mileage.
And we had lots of fun by forgetting the nonsense for a couple of days.

I can't wait for the next road trip.

Cool! Burlington's where my sister worked for a while, in a drugstore. She got held up. But hey, have fun!

This weekend's excursion with the Hubby is all booked!  We're going to visit Burlington VT for the first time, check out a possible retreat center for my summer camp, and visit the marriage gurus. 

Looks like we'll have to wear long johns and rain gear, but that's okay, we didn't plan on hiking or anything on this trip. More of a driving tour.

I'm hoping.  HOPING that my car is done???  Maybe I can have my car back??  It's only been 9 weeks.
