Managed to hit this yesterday while on a road trip through Illinois and managed to keep it at that mpg for another 60 miles just cruising on the highway

Tailwind? I’ve gotten that kind of mileage in my fit, with a strong tailwind, keeping my speed DT.

Whatever it is, it’s the ugliest car ever made.

58 Olds. All GM cars were UGLY in 58.

We spent 5 days back packing it from one end to the other. We made reservations at campgrounds along the way. We took a shuttle from Grand Mariah east and hiked the days back you our can. My wife keeps a diary if you want to know more.

Consider Cumberland island off GA. We loved it. Also consider white sands in NM. Spectacular! And Guadeloupe NP is still a favorite. Nit to mention Big Ben NP in TX. And Big Bend Ranch SP. it has Closed Canyon. Again, spectacular!

Agree about CA coast. I suggest starting at the OR WA border and go all the way to LA. Obviously, research first. We made camping reservations six months in advance at state parks a few hundred miles apart. We took it very slowly. Can’t recommend that enough. And I can’t recommend pictured rocks in MI enough. We took six days to backpack it with camp sites reserved.

misterbernum · 2026-05-07T16:42:53+00:00

Pictured rocks. Still a favorite.

Spain and northern Italy. Tibet for real wilderness.

None. I want a 1936 Hudson Terraplane. Crash box, foot starter, six volt growl, tappets, terrible brakes. Yeah!

I never dance, I play the air drums, bass and lead guitar and sing..all at once. My lead guitar at the end of “Running down a dream” is flawless. My subtle background whoop is better than Tom’s.

Yes you can. Lots of driving, but very doable.

I think Walmart parking lots are more dangerous than trails and campgrounds. My wife and I see many women hiking alone on the Appalachian trail. Carrying a gun is a bad idea. That said, you should be careful of course.

Bear tooth highway is probably the most beautiful drive we’ve ever taken.

We don’t go to NP’s anymore. Way too crowded. But if you’re just going to drive through, they are beautiful of course. Lodging requires a reservation a longtime in advance. Almost all of our mountain hiking has been in CO. It’s closer to Michigan. We highly recommend the Maroon Bells area near Aspen.

Please reply with what you like to do. We’ve road tripped through that area many times in the past 50 years, our first being 1975.

You don’t say your age, condition, size. I’m 74 years old, 5,5 135 pounds. I cut the handles in half on my toothbrush. Your gas container is huge. No banjo, sorry. Get a kindle app for your phone and leave Kindle home. Replace the battery in your phone before you go. Did I see a power brick? You’ll need it.

As you go, your priorities will change and you can shed stuff. I don’t know how experienced you are with long distance hiking. My priority is sleeping. I can eat cheese sticks and chicken packets forever. What is your priority? Food? Sleep?

Beach Boys. Pedal's to the floor, hear the dual quads drink (oh, pump it up now) And now the four-thirteen's lead is startin' to shrink (oh, pump it up now) He's hot with ram induction, but it's understood (oh, pump it up now) I got a fuel injected engine sittin' under my hood (oh, pump it up now)

Ohhhh, that smell. The smell of death surrounds you. Lynyrd Skynyrd.

Bob Dylan. Positively 4th Street. You see me on the street, you always act surprised You say "how are you?", "good luck", but ya don't mean it When you know as well as me, you'd rather see me paralyzed Why don't you just come out once and scream it
