As some of my fellow Zeros may (or may not) remember, for the past year I've been planning the Great American Road Trip. After scheming, plotting, budgeting and squirming impatiently for over a year, departure day arrives tomorrow. Shit finally gets real.
Other than California and Washington (been there, done those ad nauseum) my goal is to hit everyone of the remaining lower 48 states. I may not spend a whole lot of time in some states, but I still will be able to say I've been there. I hope to be gone until the end of July, but if my best laid plans go astray for whatever reason (health, tired of motel rooms, I miss the dog too much, whatever) I'm not too proud to come home, satisfied that I gave it a try.......
I'm not going to a whole lot of the "usual" places. If you want to see photos of statues and monuments, stick to the political threads. I'd like to stay on the secondary roads as much as possible and I'd like to get acquainted with the locals wherever I end up at the end of a day. Cold beer is always an excellent social lubricant. I have few rigid plans or destinations, so most days I'll point the car in whatever direction sounds good after my morning coffee. I'll be alone for a good part of the trip but will have family (including BG) and friends along here and there as they become available. My wife will meet me on the East Coast and travel with me for up to a month. So.............
If anyone is interested, you can follow my blog. The address is;

And if you're not interested, no biggie, as I won't know the difference.........too, if any non Oregon resident forum members happen to notice I'm in their neck of the woods and want to hook up for a Blazer discussion, I'll be happy to buy the beer. And I'll still be checking out the forum on a regular basis (especially at draft time).
Anyway, I just wanted to put the blog out there in case someone wanted to piggyback on an old guy's dreams.....
See you folks down the road!
