There was a stretch of highway on RT 190 a few miles from Olancha that was so straight and empty that I got a chance to drive...well, yeah. It was very scenic.

I'll be going in NJ.


This was just a road trip to see where the old Joshua Tree once stood. The tree fell down in 2000 from old age and now it's just a memorial spot for big time U2 fans. Figured it was worth a road trip in the Porsche (my first in this (new to me) car). It really was an amazing day. Great driving weather, lots to see, and my Navy colleagues keeping me company as I hiked around.

I guess it was a silly question!
Thanks for the info. Much appreciated.
Great scenery you have there.

Default March 10th sunset drive to Sidney





takes a while to warm up the engine coolant and tires, it's been an unusually cold winter here!

Default 500+mi 2-day break-in escape

This was a good get-acquainted / break-in escape. Once I left the urban jungle behind, I always find endless deserted roads with superb surfaces....and NorCal is Green half the year! Tiz the season for greeeeeen. Yeah, many of you have green all year...we don't, so we have to take advantage of it when we can. SF BayArea out east through special roads in the Delta, Central Valley, Sierra foothills, up into the Sierra, and then back across west. I'm beat. Interesting car. I opted for low-res volume photo set rather than just a few high-res here.....for diversity. Didn't have enough sun for good color, but you get the point. Thanks again to all of you who post into this thread...it's always great to see!! unkie

You get green "only" half of the year? How about the North East in March!! We are miserable at the moment....

Oh right, I forgot about black and white. We go brown mid-year unless we get to the coast or up in the mountains.....I should do a coast road trip next.

It was 78 degrees here today in the East Bay with almond and cherry trees blossoming everywhere.
The skies were crystal clear and the Delta full of life.
I spent 14 years back East in CT and NYC.
Don't miss it at all.

Our drive to Mr. Wash, Stuttgart's finest car wash: exterior wash and wax and hand wax for $50. Amazing assembly line!
