Congrats on #1700!! Additional kudos for your revisits, that is persistence!

Check-ins for 2024-06-04 - Danville - 3380 Black Hawk Plaza, CA (#1812) (First to check-in) That address is totally wrong, but was able to use Google maps to find it in the correct part of the mall parking lot. Tesla Nav not helpful and not yet marked open even after Randy tagged it.

That is awesome!

@israndy beat me to it. Check-ins for 2024-05-31 - Newark - 36601 Newark Blvd, CA (#1811) (First to check-in)

First Alert: Newark 36601 Probably be there around noon.

Not to be confused with our Top Charger (Andy) @Bighorn but I go by Andrew or Drew, generally. I indicated I wasn’t going to be able to make the Weed trip (for someone that doesn’t smoke a dube). 3 of 7 guys birth named Andrew in my original coterie when I was a kid. Only one Andy, and that...

Clearly I should taken the glasses off before snapping this fuzzy pick of George and me. Just pretend it was intentional for artistic flair. 🥲 Had a nice chat in San Mateo before he heads towards Arnold. I was going to follow N tomorrow to share a First at Weed with George and Randy, but I...

Check-ins for 2024-05-25 - Fremont - 3700 Thornton Ave, CA (#1808) (First to check-in) - Arnold, CA (#1809) (Comment: no cell svc) - Sacramento - Point West Way, CA (#1810) I was an hour twenty ahead of @bmah since I decided to get the other two which I knew was going to be a whole day...

Go west young man! Plenty for you in CA, with just a minor detour S before N to home.

Congrats on 1400!!

Congrats on the new badge!!

More Green pins than Red on your route!

Congrats! 🎉

Totally agree with Estes Park, CO SC. 16 year-odd years later I imagine it still looks similar. Beautiful ride down the mountain! I think Loveland was the next stop. The trick with Mt Shasta is to park and charge at the V2’s and walk across the street to the BW for relief. If traveling solo...

Congrats George! As most of the group would say, well earned, and well expected! 😉

Well, at least you got home, right? 😉

Yes, we saw that on our Eclipse trip quite a lot. Sometimes reading the “truck” speed sign, some times reading a frontage road speed limit sigh. Highly annoying. Like @JSergeant we were only on TACC.

We didn’t know any better back then! Plus, they were labors of love. All well and good until one corner of a roof rack fails doing 65mph (in the rain and car introduced “wind”), just S of Superior and the near 200hrs of labor from 5-6 people (initially) had us limping in to a small outfitter N...

Awesome! Growing up in Madison, WI we took summer trips almost every year I can remember. I imagine Ely hasn’t changed much, but the last time I was there was twenty years ago. We usually drove up through the night, got breakfast at the old diner and stopped in to get our fishing permits and...

Oh dear. I spent 5 years and $2k with a lawyer just to be able to get back into Canada. I might be the only one here that paddled a canoe across the border. Near Prairie Portage, MN. Nobody there to stop me and show ID. 😉

Unless there is construction, or an accident. I’ve probably spent an entire 24 hrs of my life stuck going either E or W in Glenwood Canyon. They were boring the Hanging Lake tunnel (just E of this pick, if I have it right) when I was living in Avon back in the early 90s. And do mind the caution...

Prescott and Payson held some of my AZ attraction in my five+ years in the Phoenix area in the early 90’s.

@theflyer CO 24 Leadville to Minturn is worth a trip. Leadville, CO is worth a passing visit. Moab, UT to Cisco can be done in any direction, NE or SW IMO. I took one of the prettier pictures back in the OG NKYTA days. I wouldn’t do either at night (oops on that, 8’ Elk around a curve coming...

The new V4s coming slowly online in the Bay Area seem fine.

Juneteenth I’ll be headed via Mojave and Salt Lake to Denver if that meshes for a meetup.

He has hunted in CA before, excepting the very north part. Still, that is a really informative post!

I was ski bumming at the time, and doing lift maintenance in the summer 4/10hr days. It is only 80 miles - which pales in comparison to the driving we do for this game. And I think we only went 2-3 times. A hell of a lot cheaper than the ones nearby Avon.

Rifle Creek Golf Course, according to a map and fading memories.

Is the golf course still there? When I was ski-bumming in the early ‘90s we would head down from Vail/BeaverCreek for fun. It was an interesting layout - front nine in the canyon, back nine in flat farmland. I’m not sure what else is/was there at the time. Vail, Avon and even Eagle blew up...

A common malady. I don’t know if I could add up the hours spent with overlapping pins, N bound, S bound and E W on the Ohio turnpikes. At some point you just throw your hands up and say “ok, I’ll get that on the way home”. I think it was a couple mile trip to get the other Milford. I got the...

At least we aren’t back in the day when TM Service was helpful, but you were pulling MCU fuses on a road trip.

Sorry to hear about the AC issues. I’m not even sure holding the brake and double scroll wheel press does anything extra over just the double scroll wheel press in my ‘22 LR 3. It might, as it did something more in the ‘12 S, and you have a new S. I do like 5-7 on the fan pointed directly at...

According to FL folks, you set the temp on low, + AC and then vary fan speed as needed, when in FL. A couple years ago when with the endodotal in West Palm, was my first view of a Plaid. With a cop in the parking lot. Oops.

I hit one and dodged a few other armadilli in Louisiana and Mississippi years back. They are the deers to avoid in the N Midwest. The plastics strips that run the length of the car on each side are pretty cheesy on my newish 3, with 64k miles in 2.4 years. So, light driving. 😉

Congrats on 2nd Century. Badge in the mail. Only 30 to go for the next century. A short trip. There is no going back after 300, you just have to retire and drive. 😉

Check-ins for 2024-04-09 - Post, TX (#1782) - Plainview, TX (#1783) - Amarillo - E Interstate 40, TX (#1784) The stretch to Tucumcari was in a downpour. Roads were very wet and efficiency required a return after 10 miles to get 90%.

Check-ins for 2024-04-08 - Big Spring, TX (#1780) - Natalia, TX (#1781) (Comment: Missed hitting Submit again, I guess.) One goal today, totality. We spent 15 minutes listening to some NASA folks camped out in Garner Park N of Uvalde. I was determined to get actually ON the path of totality and...
