3/4 Ton-O-Fun
90F250 na7.3IDI 4x4
First off, thanks to everyone!
I have good news and better news. First, I made it. Second, new mpg record for me, 19.4mpg over 1623.4miles.
The double nickel avenger!
Knuckledragger, Do you have a view of where they close the 210 down to 2 lanes on a friday night? Yeah, that sucked. I left Phx late. While creeping through the valley rush hour I thought to myself that at least I would be in LA late night, so I would miss their/your traffic. WRONG! They choked the traffic down to make a mess where there shouldn't be, just for me. Thankfully, when I left LA behind, I didn't see another blue headlight honda until Portland. I sort of wish everyone of those would crash into those that drive in the left lane and/or those that "merge" onto a highway by making highway traffic yield to avoid an accident.
FordGuy100, I must have been remembering the 101.
bike-maker, D.A.V. and typ4, so I stop in Sutherlin for coffee and pit stop... Holy hell are your girls cool! I left Tempe of skinny plastic boob c###s and landed in small town paradise. Saturday night with townie hotties is not the place for a married guy! The barrista hooked me up, too!
One sad thing I have noticed up here around Bellingham/Blaine are the number of deer. More specifically, the number of slightly dinged dead ones on the side of the road. What is wrong with people? If I even saw someone gently kill one like that I would have the backstraps and ***** out before they could ask twice if it was dead or not. Hell, most anything not fouled. Now if they popped their guts... no.
I showed one of my old girlfriends that trick one time.
"I don't think you are allowed to do that."
"Guess I better hurry then, huh?"
Dead is dead and a terrible waste to boot. I also eat day old pizza and cookies off the floor.
Cucamongan, that means a lot! Thanks!
suv7734, when things go sideways, every bit helps.
The Warden, yeah, I hear you. I have taken my time on trips before. It is a drive everyone should take their time with, hell, there are lots of drives and lots of places. This time I wanted to go Wickenburg->Kingman->Las Vegas then mono lake and Yosimite. Unfortunately my truck is filled with my stuff and tools. I cannot afford to lose my box. Probably should have a rider on it.
If you all haven't heard, the USA is awesome and filled with cool people and amazing places. I advise everyone to go somewhere!
Canada, too! I love both!
cm1hedge, once you get out of southern and middle Cali, it is pretty nice.
Hey lotzagoodstuff, what were the Portland highway planners thinking? If you haven't seen them, the freeways and ramps are running in every direction, twisted like a rats nest of rope. It must be someone trying to use up a highway budget, because it sure looked so complicated that it would just be easier to knock it all down and simplify it.
Hey everyone, thanks again! I am hoisting you all a beer right now in Blaine at the Past time. I have to drop off booze at the boat before I cross.
The brotherhood(and sisterhood) of the IDI is alive and well! I will be bouncing around BC and Washington this season. Don't hesitate to txt me.
Take it easy, everyone!

OL!!) to the mix and the definition of traffic is parking.
