I'll be sure to take lots! I think the need for rest stops will be somewhat greater in the 911 than my Jetta. It's a tiny bit louder in the Porsche.
So far the only interesting pics I have was a North Dakota sunset at 80mph, taken from my Jetta. The 911 drive will be mid Jan, and there will be (metric!) tonnes of pictures.
I started the thread a bit prematurely, but I'm making the drive right now, so it was on my mind....
I'll be in Bremerton, WA from about Monday the 12th to the 19th. I'll be conducting a face to face turnover with the existing network administrator and meeting some of my division, at those that aren't on leave. I'll be in Florida with the in-laws until the 26th when I return to VA. Then I have a week of half days, and another week of whole days to get the car in shape before my wife gets back on the 6th.
When the car is ready and the house is more or less ready for the movers to come, then I'm off. I expect it will be on or near the 12th of Jan.
I'm looking forward to it.
I'm also looking forward to meeting some Pelicans on the way. (hopefully not for towing/repairs!)
Back to the road for me.... I just stopped for a bit of lunch in Billings, MT, tonight will be in Bozeman, about 300 miles up the road. It's warmed way up! MN was in the single digits the whole time I was there, here in MT it's like 45! The 30mph direct headwind is kind of cramping my style though... I can't get more than 35mpg out of my TDI. I'm used to getting 40+, and on the last road trip I was getting well over 50. I think cold and wind hurt the mileage, but I'm quite surprised how much!
Thanks for all the suggestions! You all are getting me really pumped about the trip!
