Road Trip!

More photos tonight...

your rest stop could at least serve some real maple syrup if they wanted to better Florida ;). Keep bringing the updates and daily photo uploads, I'm enjoying it, makes me feel like I'm getting out of the house

Good to hear!

38 degrees outside this morning.

Does everything look better through a Porsche or should I stick with the bikes when I get older?

We stay at Indian Head in Lincoln every year. Great place for a family.

Don't forget Flume Gorge right up the street!

24.65 mpg yesterday.

He's currently moving left to right across your computer screen. Years ago some friends and I decided to get sandwiches after work and ended up taking a ferry to Connecticut for them.

Wait? You went from NYC allllllll the way to Connecticut??!? Dude that's crazy town talk right there!! Did you have to break it up into shifts and change out drivers? How many refueling stops?

No driver changes or fuel stops, just a nice cruise.

I was in a shop about 20 Minutes from the ferry and never took it before so one afternoon it was slow we went across for lunch.

Pictures were absolutely worth the danger you put yourself and other motorists in. Carry on with you reckless ways.

More photos coming soon.

Home Sweet Home.

I am jealous! Not only do you have the perfect sports car, but you have time to use it.

Sounds like an awesome trip! Absolutely beautiful country up that way, my dad and I were up there skiing last year between Christmas and New Years.

I had knee surgery last week, so that more or less cleared up my schedule for a while.

I had the same thinking few years ago and drove 1000km to eat fresh lobster on the east cost (gaspesia). I dont really like lobster.. but if was the best damn lobster in my life. Nice trip too :)

Mt. Lafayette viewing area. Again, this is a really tall, impressive rock face, though it doesn't really look that way here. There's a deep gorge below.

This is a looooooooooong way down:

The railings are surprisingly low:

This is where I parked for the night. I was advised to remove the granola bars from my glove box, lest the bears try to find their way in. One got into my sister's house over the summer. It took all the food from the spare fridge and hauled it into the yard. Fortunately, it left the beer.

I drove up in shorts and a t-shirt, but it was chilly in the morning.

The old Blacksmith Shop is falling into the river.

These are for Dan: a few shots of Franconia International Airport.

Here's the airplane:

And a bunch of gliders

All things considered, it was a nice way to spend 28 hours.

I ended up driving about 700 miles.
