Off We Go

This car and I are the same age. It has 53,900 original miles on it. I think I have more miles on me than she has!

The mechanic has his doubts that I can make it from Richland, Washington to Kansas City. I believe in her.

I’ll head south into Oregon then east to Twin Fall, ID. From there I’ll head south to Vegas and on to Phoenix.

After a short stop there I’ll head north to Route 66 and east again, winding my way home to Kansas City.

With a pound of jerky by my side, cigars, plenty of water, and a full tank of gas…off we go!

I'm just a guy who finds the world an interesting place and likes to capture certain moments with a camera. They aren't for sale, or anything. I just like them. Well, usually. I've taken a lot of photos I don't like, as well.

Pulled Over in Mooreland, OK

I got pulled over today. After a fun morning teaching Adobe Photoshop, InDesign, and Bridge at he Panhandle Press Association convention in Amarillo,Texas I was home bound. Heading over to Oklahoma City on I-40 then north on I-35 was the quickest route, but who wants that when one can take the back roads and see abandoned airports and rural America?

Opportunity Clock, my ass

Day Six: I love waking up without an alarm. There’s a reason it’s called “alarm” and I can’t think of any good ones.

Every Moment I Get Along the Way

There was a wreck last night on I-84, just outside Nampa, ID. It was one of those bad ones where you can see flashing lights up ahead, and plenty of them.
