we're home after about 2700 miles in the Subaru in 10 days .... I am soooo lucky to have a husband that travels well with me! We planned to be back last night, but realized I had an aunt who was visiting in New Harmony IN, so we made a slight detour (about 45 extra miles) and managed to have dinner with them last night. We all visited until bedtime, then saw them again this morning for some antiquing in town. Stayed at New Harmony Inn which was VERY nice, and very peaceful setting. We had a (tiny) balcony that overlooked 'park land' and a lake. Very private. Enjoyed it a lot. Now if I didn't have to do the unpacking and the laundry .... |

Post count in these forums just quadrupled today! Vacation must have been too good juice. I was beginning to wonder if you drowned over in Ocean City, or got swallowed up by the kiddy car rides (singing the Kingston Trio song: "M.T.A., " aka "Did he ever return."  Bob

Replying to: rsholland (Jul 27, 2009 1:44 pm) Brenda: nice road trip. We hosted my brother and his family, visiting from Brazil, for the past 3 weeks. It was complete insanity, busy busy the whole time, 2 events every day it seemed. We were here for a while, then in Ocean City for a week, then in New York City, then in Philly. Drove right past Subaru HQ, too. My brother just ordered a new Forester - in Brazil! They have a new dealer who just opened a Subaru outlet in Recife, the first and only one so far. His will be a 2.0l engine, too, not the big 2.5l we get, so I imagine it'll be very JDM, or maybe a european equivalent model. He told me they sell a base 2.0l, 2.0l Limited (what he got), and a 2.0l Turbo. He's not much into cars but that is what he seemed to think anyway. I'll visit the dealer when I go to Brazil next year, most likely. While he was here we let him drive our 2009 to get a preview of what it would be like. He and his wife both liked it, so no plans to cancel the order. She's driving around in a Citroen Xsara Picasso, a bizarre egg-shaped european people mover, right now, so the Forester will be a lot more mainstream. They have a farm so the AWD should be put to good use.

Replying to: rsholland (Jul 29, 2009 10:52 am) I guess they figure if you want performance, you want performance. Plus prices there put it in a near-luxury territory so if you can afford one, the price of fuel is not a big concern. He's paying the equivalent of over $40 grand. Still, it's about the same as the Hyundai Tucson and less than a CR-V costs there. |

We took the '97 Outback over to California for a week of cruising around. Coming back through the desert this morning seemed like a good occasion to mark the odometer rolling over 75k ... while doing the speed limit.   This one's for you Juice - apparently chipmunks eating wiring is a big problem up the Mineral King Road in Sequoia NP. Chicken wire fencing is common but quite a few cars were protected by laying a tarp down, driving over it, and then wrapping the car up in it.
