Stared at my car. Didn't park it in the garage and it rained overnight. . . Goof thing I applied Polish, then some caranuba wax on it the day before. It all slid off like it was on ice. Nice.

Driving it from Austin to Temple to meet a client for interpreting, back to house to change, then go to work at clinic till 11p. Gonna be a long day but, a fun drive.

Day 10: Finale: 15:59 wheel-hours; 1,060.4 mi. Dickinson, ND to NW Burbs, IL. And now, some entertaining numbers!

10 - days
113:54 - wheel-hours
7,336.8 - miles
366.03 - gallons of gasoline converted into a joyful noise unto the Lord
~7,100 - miles until I realized using the basic b*tch 91 map adds 3 mpg
14 - states
38 - mountain passes
15 - National Scenic Byways
2 - persons who mistook Betty for a Porsche
1 - penis-shaped lake sighting
0 - tickets; f*cks given about my carbon footprint.

That was one hell of a cruise

I've really enjoyed the up dates along the way..... Thanks for that !
Sooooo back to work ( reality) on Monday ?

Thought I was bad. 5,000 miles, 13 states in 3 weeks. Takes forever to go through Kansas. Have nightmares about that state. Oklahoma and the way they have their toll roads.

Crossing the state of Texas is the worst in the lower 48 as much of it there is nothing special to see but desert and then you add in New Mexico and shot me now when traveling east. Traveling the length of California also takes for ever but there is always some real cool places to stop and visit.

Thank you sir! And as for reality... checked my email last night and my work wants to do a pre-interview interview today for an internal position I applied for... so I have to rapidly shift my brain int work-gear.

I will only transit Kansas at night, and not on the interstate. Get up to 120 between hamlets, slow down to pass through, rinse wash repeat.

I do like how OK mailed me a warning for blowing a toll.

I can sympathize, and I live in Kansas....

10 to 12 hours to Denver is the pits, when in that same time span, I can be in Dallas....and almost halfway to Austin... depending on traffic in DFW.....

I'm fine with driving through Kansas. Much better than Oklahoma imo.

My wife absolutely hates driving through Kansas. She bitches about it so much that I have pledged to bury her in Kansas! I've tried to convince her that it will be more convenient for friends and relatives to visit her there as the geographic center of the lower 48 is in Kansas. I've promised to pick a spot near there for her

They don't accept IPass or EZPass. Only their bootleg Texas/Kansas/Oklahoma pass. Think it's called the Dust Bowl Pass.

because all the highways run f-ing north and south.

WTF

I personally avoid anything east of Houston when driving. Mississippi gets a hell no from me. Thankfully I have no reason to travel to THOSE states over there anymore.
