Default back north on the blue ridge pkwy

to learn that while the dramamine helps the girlfriend's motion sickness, it didn't have any effect on her fear of driving off the side of a mountain.

(also, thank god for the resourceful south carolinians who travel with chain saws)

Default and finally back home...

to the over-populated megalopolis that is the northeast.

(VA-MD-NYC pictured. again, no good PA-NJ shots)

nearly 3700 miles... on the trip odometer. not a bad start methinks.

Looks like a great trip, thanks for sharing.

That tree would lie there for quite a while in Utah. No one carries chain saws, just guns. lol

Don't know how you could drive 3700 miles after those Waffle House visits - usually I only get as far as the nearest bathroom.

Looks like you and your girl had some fun cruising around. The a/c sure works good in the 996's.

Beautiful car. I bet it loved the mountain roads.
