Actually was talking to Payton yesterday, and we were discussing how you two were doing it right. Usually when I'm on a road trip, I turn it into a job, have to be to this point by this time, driving to the we hours of the night trying to make good time. I don't know if its a laid back California thing or not, but I'm jealous. Lets see if its a mad across the bottom of the country now that you burned up all your days on the east coast. LOL
I don't know about being laid back. Have you met DG? We have found a way to compartimentalize a huge amount of enerrgy into small pockets of last min research. We'll be rolling down the highway crosschecking Food TV network, Google, Yelp and formulating a plan put the miles behind us.

As soon as a change seems evident we go back into manic planning research and come up with an alternate we would have never thought of sitting down looking at a map before the trip started.

To simplyfy the explanation We just follow the Beer crumbs.

It sure looks like they are having a great time.
Start small, maybe just a trip to a local diner between the gym and wheatgrass store with only consulting yelp.

You're listening to it Skip
6.7 to 7.5mpg so I haven't matched DGs all time low just yet.

You see SKip DGs gas mileage isn't actually accurate. You have to factor in his love for dousing everything in gas.

Yesterday I watched him shower his jacket in gas. Not sure what that was about.

Then a ways down the road as I come out of the gas station I see what I think it a huge leak running under the truck....... I walk up on it to see a GAS fountain shooting out of the cap as the pump runs unattended. (Note to self never walk away from an "auto shut of" pump). That one alone was 3+ gallons.

Then at our last stop last night before we hit Sallisaw I walk about to see Dave wiping, you guessed it, gas off the side of the truck. I'm hoping he kicks the habit.
