Still standing outside Vons.

ETA is Friday night or Saturday mid-day. Depends on when we get into Vegas.. and whether we like it or not.

So.. uh.. grab a tent? :)

Oh fuck, forgot completely. I saw a lachsilber e30 touring headed the other direction. It looked completely stock, and I was so surprised that I didn't have time to even grab the camera when I saw it.

I'll be at Vons, waiting with TV dinners.

We're in a hotel in Columbus, Ohio. Car runs fine so far, nothing especially weird.

Pics:

Packed.


Ready for Lift-off.


This is what it looked like for most of the time...


Gas stop & driver change. Getting 26 MPG average so far.


Sister driving. She got used to the clutch and shifter, everything is fine now :D


This guy was pimp. Chevelle SS, booking it at like 90


Hurr lol guys let's go straight to California.


Food stop. Don't eat here...


And finally, Columbus!


Tune in tomorrow night for more wonderful footage of the American Midwest.

If you're stopping in AZ, definitely check out downtown Flagstaff. It's a really fun place with lots of different bars, restaurants, etc. Plus cool scenery and interesting people.

So my departure date for this trip kind of snuck up. I'm leaving central NJ tomorrow morning at 9, with my stepsister, in my (hopefully) trusty eta.

My trip takes me through the following states:

New Jersey DONE
Pennsylvania DONE
Ohio DONE
Indiana DONE
Illinois DONE
Missouri DONE
Oklahoma DONE
New Mexico DONE
Arizona FUCK
Nevada BYPASSED
California DONE

If you take a look at a map, it should be painfully obvious as to the route we're taking. We're stopping at the grand canyon and Vegas for sure, but have no other real commitments. Any ideas for interesting things to check out would be greatly appreciated, because I don't want to be bored during the whole of the Midwest. :)

Also, if you're in those states and anywhere near routes 76, 77, and 40, please consider PMing me your telephone number. Odd things may happen and leave us stranded, it's always good to have a couple of emergency numbers at hand. I'd appreciate it greatly.

Finally, I'll be updating this thread with photos whenever I get an internet connection and a few minutes, so be prepared for an influx of scenery.
