Day Minus 1 - Austin TX - 0 Miles

This is a chronicle of Terry and my trip to Washington for the summer. I have done this for prior summer trips, but I find the older I get the less enthusiastic I get about anything requiring effort. I may make it all the way through the summer or I may get bored with the whole thing before making it out of the state. Time will tell. I'll probably do more photos and less babbling than I have in the past. That can only be viewed as a good thing.

The general route will be head north until we reach the Dakotas, then turn left. Continue until we reach salt water, then stop. We have no timetable, but since we're trying to avoid seeing the thermometer hit 100, we'll probably be gone for a while. Since I rank somewhere between frugal and miserly, I'll be honing my Priceline skills along the way. We'll buy an annual pass at the first National Monument/Park we see and after that we'll stop at each one we pass to get our $80 worth. Next year I'll qualify for a $10 lifetime pass. I've finally found something good about aging.

I've sent an email to those who might be interested in following our trip and probably to quite a few of those who could care less. That is the only notification I am sending. To see updates (assuming I do any) you will need to periodically check back here, or sign up to get an email whenever a post is added.

I've never had much luck with the formatting or cleanly inserting photos on here, so whenever you're looking at a post and ask yourself, "Why did he make it look like that?" You'll just have to accept it as the best I could do.

Tomorrow is get gas and head to Dallas.
