Enjoying the trip so far.


Thanks

Sometimes I would copy and paste text from an old day, and change the
data, in order to maintain a consistent format. Looks like I need to
update the text.

....

ok, done

One, uh, word to the wise for anyone else contemplating a trip like
this. Consider how much coffee or water you are drinking, and how
desolate the place you may be driving through. And when you fill up
gas, don't actually fill up, leave a little to give yourself an excuse
to stop at a gas station and use their facilities as a paying customer.
Just saying.

At some point I intend to make a grand western loop road trip. A
length scenic drive. I have the scenic driving books for California,
Montana, Wyoming and Colorado, but ask if there is some particularly
spectacular place I should definitely see along my route?

I'm driving generally westward along I-10 to Los Angeles, north along
the Pacific Coast Highway to the Olympic Penninsula of Washing State,
east across the North Cascades National Park and on into Montana and
Glacier National Park, then south through Wyoming and Yellowstone /
Grand Teton, then south through Colorado (which I've visited quite a
bit already).

I like beauty drives, fun drives, mountains and lakes.

Have you encountered some place along this general path, that was
pecularly regrettable? Such as someplace usually dangerous or
otherwise a place to avoid?

Thanks, please post!
