Pikes Peak was really fun to drive today. It still gave me goose bumps driving on it, and it was nice to drive all the way to the top. It was nicer seething red train at the summit. I saw a very old couple driving this hot rod.

Driving last night was not easy. I was extremely tired as from 12am. So at 1am, I pulled over at the next rest stop. I went and used the restroom and walked around and counted 8 cars parked and people sleeping in them. I saw this guy sleeping in the bed of his truck. I went closer to make sure...

I took a picture of my mileage at the start of my trip so I could compare it with the mileage at the end of my trip to see how many miles I drove on this trip. I left at 8:15pm for the 14 hours drive throughout the night to Colorado Springs. I plan for a slow and steady drive with frequent...

More random pics in the village... My younger sister and I performed a traditional dance in the village Roadside food that we always buy and eat along the 6 hours drive from our village to the city where my siblings live. This is the halfway point in the journey where most travelers...

Cameroon is a third world country rich in culture. It is a bilingual country, but the prevalent language is French. 80% of the country is French. 20% is English. There are way too many poor people in Cameroon. Sadly, there is a lot of corruption and greed in the country. So, it makes you wonder...

So, I went car shopping. These prices are already with tax and title included. 90% of car buyers have to pay cash for their cars. Very few people can afford brand new vehicles. Some people can actually finance cars now but it is extremely rare amd gets pretty expensive when you go that route...

I am very close to my younger brother and we both like cars a lot. I taught him how to drive in my mom's Nissan Sunny station wagon and I basically taught myself how to drive with our Dad's Peugeot 504. When I moved to the US, a very long time ago, I always told him that if he ever moved to...

Douala, Cameroon in W.Africa. The trip I took was from Douala to Bandjoun. The roads are very bad. They used to be better over 25 years ago.

I am still out of the country and decided to share some random pictures of my trip so far. I took a 12-hour road trip and took some pictures along the way. I used my younger brother's Santa Fe. Sharing a meal with my siblings

My vacation ended yesterday. I left my hotel at 4:30am to drive halfway for about 8 hours and stay the night in Meridian, AL, to complete the remaining 6 hours the next day to get home. But along the way. I was making good time and decided to just drive straight 15 hours to Houston. I was...

Last Day of vacation and last day in Pigeon Forge. I took a very scenic drive to Cades Cove. Pictures along the way. If you go to Cades Cove and want a very scenic, very curvy, very steep and mountainous drive back to town filled with scary drops offs, then make sure to ask for Rich...

Another hidden gem in Pigeon Forge: Parrot Mountain. It is worth a visit if you like birds and especially Parrots. It cost $27 for an adult and $3 to have a nice experience of them giving you a small cup of nectar in a enclosed cage and some small sized Parrots would fly to you and drink all the...
