We had a small road trip today.
Went to the 'Big E' a multi state fair in Western Mass.
We took a friend of my oldest daughter's who is from the mid west.
It was fun walking around eating all those bad foods, walking through each of the 6 New England states buildings, and the agricultural buildings with all the animals.
When we got back to our house, the Nascar race was on the tv, and she said I want to go to one of those.
I said sure next spring we will go to the track they are showing on tv.
It's pretty easy trip from CT, 4 hour drive, 5 hours at the track for the Saturday race, 4 hours back.
I'm pretty sure she going with us to South Bend next month for the football game, so I think we have a new road trip buddy, or sort of a new 3rd kid.

You want to fly you give up Constitutional freedoms. Soon trains buses will follow. Taking a drive may be our last bit of freedom in this Brave New World.

Road Trip to Santa Fe (Inside Line)
 
Maybe Fintail will stop in in the next week or so with tales of his latest autobahn driving.
 
I'm off to Toledo tomorrow.

Are you driving a VW Beetle? Diesel I hope.

My sister's '00 New Beetle seats were quite good. Did a lot of 9 hour trips in it between Virginia and Chattanooga while she owned it, and found the seats very comfortable. Her '05 Forester seats are good too though; cloth unlike my Outback's seats.
 
But the weather report looked good so we are in the van again this week, also with the cloth seats. Only thing I miss about the Outback is the heat; otherwise the leather seats in it aren't all that great for longer trips.
 
Gas surprised me - never saw it more than a dime cheaper than what it is a few blocks from my house. Didn't think to price diesel.
 
And only had three deer jump out in front of us today, all in a row.

#286 of 338 Creative clutter? by steve_ HOST

Dec 19, 2012 (5:25 pm)

A reporter is looking for any drivers out there who can discuss the creative ways they've tried to keep their car clutter-free. There are so many gadgets, toys for kids, stuff for pets and other goods carried along in vehicles today, and he'd like to know how you manage or organize all these things inside your car. If you think you have helpful tips or ideas, please let us know at predmunds.com by Monday December 24th.

#287 of 338 just south of Louisville by steve_ HOST

Can't remember going north between Nashville and Indy before; some pretty country even if we are hanging close to the Interstate and watching the weather. Plan to stop before dark and take it easy to Port Huron tomorrow and try to hit a few side roads.
 
Anyone else going home from Grandma's house?

I'd add one thing. Since you're in Reno, if you haven't been there before take a day and check out nearby Lake Tahoe area. Virginia City, Death Valley -sounds like some Cowboy TV shows and movies. I wonder if the old Ponderosa ranch is still open. If you had more time, you could also side trip to Yosemite.

The in-laws used to live in Carson City. Why they moved back to the UP I don't know.
 
(Don't ask why we decided to move a couple of blocks from them LOL. But the snow was firm enough this evening to actually get to the Lake Superior beach and enjoy a nice sunset).
 
I miss the high desert country and our occasional Sierra trips.
