I pulled into Carlisle today after driving 4,343 miles in 9 days (including one very fun rest day in Solvang CA). Woot! a very fun trip but I am also pretty tired. I listened to 6 full Audio Books from Amazon’s Audible application – which was fantastic – very engaging Old Man’s War – John ...
Not much of an update today unfortunately that is super interesting. I headed out early from Peru IL and I have set down for the night in Hamburg, New York after passing through the remainder of Illinois, Indiana, Ohio and Pennsylvania. Roads were bad, traffic was bad, drivers were idiots and there were State Troopers ...
Absolutely gorgeous sunrise this morning while on the road. Even though I took my time with the hotel breakfast, I set out this morning while it was still fully dark. I managed to pull over and get a great shot of the sunrise. It was a bit cooler this morning than yesterday but still above ...
Today I started in Evanston WY which is the farthest western part of the state (about 4 miles from the Utah border) and tonight I am in Gothenburg Nebraska. The day started out with temperatures in the teens at sunrise as I got on the road and stayed in the twenties pretty much all through ...
Today was about making miles. As you can see from the pictures below, things were pretty flat. I went from La Grange OR this morning, through the remainder of Oregon, across Idaho (speed limit 80 mph by the way for cars), across Utah and about 4 miles into Wyoming to Evanston WY. Which means I ...
Better WiFi than I expected in the hotel – I was able to upload a video from each visit to my YouTube channel. Now – time for breakfast and hit the road! ...
I was able to spend almost 3 hours today at the other two mills on my list – Thomson Mill and Kay Woolen mill I was able to take a private tour at both (mostly because I was the only one there at tour start time). Both sites have absolutely fantastic tours and I took about ...
Finally broke free of the greater bay area traffic today. I spent the night in Santa Rosa visiting with family – I had a great time playing with my two nephews (minecraft and Top Gear videos on YouTube with one – tickling and playing peek-a-boo with the other) I managed to stop and take some ...
I spent the day, yesterday (3/2/15), with my Sister-in-Law out and around Solvang, CA. We went to a great lunch place – Industrial Eats in next door Buellton. We had a great pizza and salad (plus take home prosciutto and a baguette). Very fun place! The weather yesterday was on again/off again but with neat clouds. ...
If you are reading this blog, you probably have figured out that I am intending on making my way across the country from San Francisco along the northern part of the country via Oregon and Idaho. So of course, I am taking the ‘direct’ route and immediately headed south to visit family – in Solvang ...
