We loaded it late in the game but it did us right in Flagstaff our last night. Found 2 great spots it had listed and we closed one of them down for the finale.
Ok some final numbers:
17 states traveled
40 gas stops
553.98 gallons (give or 4 gallons of spillage)
3928 miles
Overall MPG = 7.09
2 Lateral-G member host families (thanks Payton and Ron)
1 FE Forum host family (Blair would not let us stay more than 2 hours understandably)
1 Ford truck rescued from the Northeast
1 Camaro brought back to its owner to get sucked into a 5 year project
Chevrolet: 1
Ford: 1
Rob and myself: 1
The rest of the world: Zero
A few more pics from my camera:
Can't not post another pic of Ron's ultra bad ass Mustang... Ron, I just can't believe I didn't take 10 minutes and force you to give me a ride in her
Payton and Ron will surely remember this bridge
Betsy valets herself up front thankyouverymuch
So, as I sit back in our unfriendly over-Democratic gun-controlling home state and reflect, I come up with many thoughts and personal conclusions. (pardon the cliches)
Seasons are something to be appreciated and hated at the same time. For everyone that loves California weather, it is stale and boring often.
People are just so dang nice everywhere else. Not that most aren't in Calif, but it sure seems others elsewhere take it up a notch. Restored a little faith in humanity for me personally. Just a little bit anyway.
The women in our lives will never understand the brotherhood. Might as well not waste any time trying to explain it either. Just tell them a complete stranger is coming over to use whatever they need and they are going to crash in the spare bedroom. Nothing more to say.
A trip should not only be about the destination(s) but about the journey and the struggles within.
You can never text too much on a road trip. Well, except for that one guy.
Oh and because the movement that brought us all together here (the Lateral G movement, that is) we must share our GoPro video of corner carving with the truck. Unfortunately it is at night but I can tell you Betsy performed admirably and by taking out the Mustang in the chicane... well, what more can you say. I won't comment on speeds reached on this road (Rob knew the road, I did not). Let it eat. Soundtrack by Metallica.
And Rob, even though you're a Ford guy with a Chevy complex, you were a top notch wingman.
(Queue the bromance commentary from Todd
