Goon Tour 2008

Wednesday: El Paso, TX to Sierra Vista, AZ – 305 miles

On the last day, we finally got started at a decent hour. The drive to El Paso put us into Mountain time and Arizona was still one time zone away so we gained another hour back. We put the pedal down and were rolling good. We only needed to stop once so Jake decided to get an appropriately sized soda, “THE TANKER!”

At this point the sun was beating down so bad that I had to drive with a towel over my arm.



It was the manliest Hello Kitty towel that I had at the time.

Nelson was an absolute angel the entire trip, so he got a little in flight meal



Then he just chilled

In no time we were in Sierra Vista and pulled up to our new home.


The car had a few bugs on it



That’s ok, Nelson helped us clean ‘em off!



So we made it there safe and sound. After our initial problem, the car ran flawlessly. I think our stats are pretty impressive. 70 MPH overall moving average ain’t easy. For the record, I have no independent recollection of how the max speed was established.



Now the Full Ride is nice and clean and I’m getting settled in to the new digs. School starts tomorrow. A special thanks to my boy Jake for making the trip, I had a blast. Thanks everyone for reading!
