Road Trip

Hitting the road at oh-dark-thirty tomorrow morning with a couple close friends. I'll be driving my '72, one buddy in his '69, another in his '85. Destination Santa Fe, arriving next Thursday. We'll spend a couple of days there catching up with old friends, then point 'em back Northwest and be home in the Seattle area the following Thursday. It will be a 4,500 mile loop by the time we are through. Getting antsy...

Thanks Baz! Here we are in 2022 in Lancaster, CA after a track day on Streets of Willow. We were on our way to St George, UT that year. The middle three cars in this lineup (my Albert Blue '72, the red '85 Carrera, and the light blue '69), are the ones heading for Santa Fe tomorrow.

Gonna be a sleepless night... "Sleepless in Seattle"... I wish I could leave right now. We'll be in Missoula by this time tomorrow.

Damn. I have never been anywhere near Santa Fe. And...I really have an interest. I hear there is KILLER food to be had.

Enjoy and be safe!

Stock 901 gearing sucks at Streets. Wishing you a safe trip.

In Missoula tonight with five cars. Heading to Arco, ID tomorrow. Two are heading home from there, leaving the three of us. Fantastic run over Lolo Pass on US 12, almost no traffic. What a fun road. Shaun and I did it on the bikes on his epic ride from Portland to Boston. Well worth it if you find yourself up here.

Thanks to google I'm enjoying your trip.

Some nice gravel trails around these places and amazing scenery. Wow.

Us Kiwis think America has two cities LA and NYC and just a whole lot of fresh air in between.

This is great! Enjoy your friends, your cars, and your drive!

I always find its a catch-22 with road trips. I want to leave early in the morning. But I can't sleep the night before, which makes me think I should leave the night before the scheduled departure. But then I can't sleep the night before that .

Nice!

My son and I drove Lolo Pass after staying with a friend in Hamilton, MT...this was twenty years ago.

We did a lot of forest service roads and ended up staying in Lewiston at a Holiday Inn Express at the top of the hill.

Best view I have ever had at a motel.

Enjoy. Sub'd.
