My boy, Pablo, performing one of his stunts in this very likable, summer-fun picture:

I bet he runs with scissors as well!

Waiting for Jack and the man who walks them to the park.

 

Falling asleep when driving is a risk, in long, straight roads like this.

BTW, my longest trip in a car, not driving: 1.450 Km. Patagonia Argentina. Buenos Aires to Puerto Madryn.

My longest drive was 2,700 miles from Miami to L.A., alone in my '89 Camaro RS in 3 days -- stopping for quick naps in the car along the way.

Did the reverse trip 11 months later.

Pleasure or necessity?

Drove out for a job. Hated it. Drove back 11 months later.

Two months ago I did 3500km from Toronto to Calgary in three days. Driving across North Dakota and the Canadian praries looked just like your photo and went on for hours.

The added bonus in the roads south of Madryn, is the dangerous presence of guanacos, even in nightime.


When you approach them, better you really slow down because they don't always escape. They well could run into your car. Not only young ones but adults too.

Many travelers with dogs have a problem when they let them out for stretch etc, NO tree's!!

Across the praries you drive for hours on end in landscape looking like this.


Then suddenly you come to Drumheller, Alberta, and wham, it hits you!

 

Fortunately we have the forests and 110,000 lakes, the bald prairie starts at Saskatchewan.

You mean like this?

 

Not quite, sans mountains! as it sits on what was once Lake Agassiz a very large glacial ice age lake with area that was larger than all of the modern Great Lakes combined.
The Dinosaur fossils found around here are of huge fish.!

I did 1,000 miles one day. That's Chicago to Denver in one shot. It was grueling but I was in my 20's and toughed it out OK. The worst part was trying to go to sleep that night. I kept having a dream that I was still driving and had fallen asleep at the wheel. I'd wake with a start and be terrified for a moment in the dark motel room until I realized where I was. Fall back asleep, repeat.

 

Rode my Honda 750 Chopper from Key West, FL to San Diego,CA while changing duty stations. Built that bike at the base aircraft maint shop with a few friends in the 70's.
Only picture I have of me on that trip, taken by a fellow biker.

Wearing no helmet?

 

Wearing no helmet?

That's what it was far, wearing instead of cheap beer cooler! We needed it on at the base gate but just about everyone removed it when outside in those days.

Think of the positives for not wearing one to the society.

A 50-year-old biker who dies in a wreck saves us money, since he won't be around to collect Social Security, Medicare, or Medicaid in his old age. A 20-year-old fatality may yield a harvest of excellent organs for patients awaiting transplants.

We didn't need no stinking helmets.

 

I wish I had my own pictures (they might be at my moms house somewhere) of the bikes we rode in the Philippines off base. Some of the locals had some really nice rides and some were a bit strange but very inventive.
