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.

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.

Leaving Idaho with Free Potatoes

Day Two: I’m awake and chasing down a cup of coffee somewhere in Idaho, based on the box of free potatoes in the lobby of the Amber Inn Motel.

All That For a Cup of Joe?

Day Seven: I needed a cup of Joe to keep me homeward bound. I stopped in this tiny town and am at the only place in town, having good coffee and talking with the old timers. I love this stuff.
