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...

King's Canyon NP

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...

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...
