I got to Montana with enough time to go visit Glacier NP. Driving on Going To The Sun road took my breath away. I have driven on numerous scenic and gorgeous roads around the country. This is definitely among the top 5. And trust me, I have been on all types of amazing roads all over the...
I made some changes to my road trip because I decided I wanted to go to Canada. So, I did my covid test yesterday and got the results today; negative.
I drove today from Carson City to Idaho Falls, ID. From here I will go to Montana and then to Canada. I will take this opportunity to visit...
Other places I visited today...
If you are ever in the area, Virginia City is a very cool small town to visit. Do not miss it.
Take a walk on Main Street, Virginia City.
The Way It Was Museum
Historic Catholic Church
Reno was a really nice place to visit, though I did not do a lot...
Last Day in Carson City. First thing I did was go do my COVID test at CVS and Walgreens. I have made some changes to my road trip as I decided I wanted to drive to Canada and I need a negative COVID test to get across the border. CVS told me it would take 1 to 3 days to get my results. So, I...
Bonsai Rock. Very nice and secluded beach. Easy to get to but what a hike to get back up to your car.
Last but not the least, Secret Cove Nude Beach. Yes, it is a nude beach. I had to go see for myself. I hiked down the very steep pathway to the beach. Yup. I saw with my own eyes. Half of...
I finally made it to Lake Tahoe and went today to drive the full length around Lake Tahoe. I just came back and what a drive it was. A very long but interesting one. South of Lake Tahoe is definitely the most touristic area to visit for anyone who wanted to stay in a particular area. But if...
Yesterday on my drive from Fresno to Carson City, I used US 50 and was surprised at the smoke that was in the forest. I guess they still have an active fire going on. It was smelling bad. Then I came across a helicopter carrying water from a river nearby to help extinguish some of the fire.
Thanks for the compliment about the trip. You are so correct that with gas prices soaring I have the perfect vehicle for such a very long trip. I am really happy I am doing this trip with my Hybrid. It is really good on gas I cannot emphasize it enough. Ever since I got to Nevada and California...
Yosemite National Park.
Unfortunately, I did not know I needed a reservation to get into Yosemite NP to visit the park. But I found out that you can ask for a pass and drive through the park. Being that I drove all the way from Texas to visit this park, I had to take any option available to be...
I visited Sequoia NP today. I was very impressed. The park is 8,000ft high up in the mountains. That makes it a bit cool up there. The road to the top is very curvy and very scenic. It could make a regular driver dizzy.The road starts at just 500ft above sea level and rises fast all the way to...
I use my cellphone (Samsung S21 Ultra) and my drone (DJI Mavic 2 Pro). I sometimes use the Pro mode on my cellphone and adjust aperture and ISO to get the best image pleasing to my eyes. As for my drone, I shoot often in HDR mode.
The most impressive view in Death Valley: Dante's View. Pictures do not do it justice.
Sand Dunes
Charcoal Kilns. My most exciting attraction. I took my Accord on a 2 miles serious offroading on a very steep hill climbing up to 7,000ft! I was worried I may have a flat tire, but I just...
Death Valley National Park.
Badwater Basin
Natural Bridge
Devil's Golf Course
Artist's Drive
Zabriskie Point
Furnace Creek Visitor Center
Death Valley is truly a dangerous desert oven.
Gas price in the park
You are right. Hondas and Toyotas run forever. Well, my Nissan that I bought new and it lasted 12 years and gave me over 268,000 trouble free miles too was impressive. I love to travel and so my cars get a lot of miles. Same as this Accord. By the time it hits one year, it would have over 30,000...
Heading to Oatman
Got there late and the town was closed and not a soul in town
As I was leaving town, I saw this burro by the side of the road. I pulled up and stopped. It walked to my car thinking I was going to feed it. Instead I got out and took some pictures and was on my way.
Today was a very long drive from Albuquerque to Las Vegas as I stopped at a lot of the Route 66 attractions. Let me share some of my favorite pictures.
Some random guests at the hotel were very friendly and asked to get into my pucture for fun.
These are the attractions I stopped at on my overnight drive today from Houston to Albuquerque in the order in which I stopped to visit them.
Stations of the Cross in Groom, TX
You can see the laser beam from my magnetic roof led bar from my Accoed shining in the center of the cross.
Cadillac...
The night driving was not easy especially as I did it after working a very hectic 12 hours shift at work. Then got off work and 2 hours later I was on the freeway driving for 13 hours through the night. I was sleepy a lot during the wee hours of midnight and 3 am. But stopped and refreshed...
