Road Trips either accomplished or planning for?

Drive from Bend to Boise thru Burns was a nice drive - prettier on the east side of Burns than the west side coming into Burns. Have driven and rode along the 101 to Ocean Shores from San Fran - beautiful drive, scary road, damn near died with the RVs trying to make some hairpin turns (effing RVers).
Made 4 day drive in November from Whidbey Island to Baltimore staying on freeways (what a drag). Another from Huntsville, Al to Kirkland as quick as possible (another drag). Best drives have always been the back road travels - from Kanab, Ut to Tonopah, Nv along Nevada Hiway 375, The Extraterrestrial Highway - think I ran into one other car there. All sorts of obscure back roads getting from Pt a to Pt b mainly in the western states.

Did you have any security issues staying on freeways? (I'm assuming this means you stayed at rest stops).

Sounds like you forgot to flush the second time, mein Fuhrer
stopped on the off ramps, slept in vehicle

I figured you slept in your vehicle, but did so at rest stops.

Driven the Loneliest Highway ~20 times. 395 top to bottom ~10 times. 93 a bunch. I've hit all of 101 but not all at once. Lots of 66, not all. AMA.
Most any highway, small town, and national park/monument west of the Rockies has Ern's seed on it except Arizona's. Still haven't seen the Grand Canyon. I did drive through a cactus blizzard from Phoenix to Kingman on 93 as a kid once though. That was neat. -
Fuck yeah. You're speaking my new native tongue.
I'm guessing you went down dark blue? That's God's Country, fren, and I'm atheist. Especially from Austin south along the Toiyabes. Better in the daytime.

Unless you’ve stayed at the Clown Motel in Tonopah, I just can’t take you seriously.
Don’t forget to stop at the Shady Lady. Free parking. In the middle of the fucking desert.
The candy/jerky store/gas station in Beatty is world class.

Tonopah Brewing Co. - loaded tater tots, add BBQ chicken. Tradition of the ancients.

great post. you're right. America is a stunning fucking landscape. I've even found it back east, which has a more understated beauty. Spend a week on Martha's Vineyard, spend some time in Virginia, the Maine coast, Vermont, New Hampshire. Our version of history, and like I said, an understated beauty. The West needs no explanation. Montana probably my favorite, though the WA/OR are right there and bring different things to the table.
