      @WhoIsTheLeader said in OPPOAfterDark...LOVE'S Truckstop Photo Story:

      @tophercrowder Not sure about those 100% woman keychains. Do they have any 0% woman keychains for those that want to make that absolutely clear?

      I was kind of thinking there are only 100% women and 50% women, purely genetically speaking. I'll take the latter just to confuse people.

      Either way, we need more BORT keychains. I repeat, we need more BORT keychains!

      @Roundbadge It's ok, a non running Pinto project is much less dangerous than an intact one.

      (I know they were actually safer than some of their contemporaries but drag racing isn't very safe)

      The Ever Given drives mostly in straight lines. Barges like that one have to navigate rivers.

      Just getting to Baton Rouge is a challenge.

      That teal Econoline is so damn gorgeous, I don't mind driving it for my daily driver.

      People found out this wave of cabover vans were great around town but not very nice to live with. They were also not as durable as the later body on frame front engine ones. It's makes sense that they switched but they certainly lost something in it as well.

      Glad you're home safe!

      Holiday traffic is the worst. My in-laws were driving Sunday. They left at 3:30 in the morning in an attempt to avoid the worst of it. They were still delayed at least an hour, making their 9 hour drive into 10.

      @highlander I grew up down south, and I can verify after having lived in a few places with legitimate cold weather, the humidity does make cool weather feel colder than the thermometer shows.

      @just-jeepin As a kid, I spent my summers at a camp on the south shore of Crystal Lake just outside of Frankfort. My parents put me on a Greyhound bus in Chicago and I got to see much of your route from that viewpoint. It looks like you have a great drive ahead of you.

      I don't think Hagerty has their garage open to the public anymore. Otherwise, it would be a fitting end to the drive.

      It was actually all rebuilt and converted to R134a sometime in late 2017, but it still blows SUPER cold.

      @mr-ontop local recommendation, Thai house. Portland/weekender/touristy recommendation, any of the breweries on the waterfront.

      As for lodging, I've only stayed at Columbia cliff villas, and it was very nice. This time of year, camping is the way to go, and you can find actual campgrounds or dispersed spots all over in the forest.

      I did find once at 80mph that the winds were just brutal, but for most of my long road trips I stay away from the interstate highways so I’m maxed out around 55mph.

      in australia, we aren't ever allowed to do 80mph 😛

      having driven to las vegas and back multiple times, salt lake city, los angeles, and driven home from washington, i can confirm that there's a definite line once you get far enough west where it becomes 'interesting'. but if you can deal with it and eat miles, it's worth it IMO.

      That said, I think your timeline is ambitious. I'd take more than 2 days to drive to California, and I say this as someone who has done one-shot nonstops from Spokane to St. Paul, Salt Lake City to Minneapolis, Flagstaff to Minneapolis, Nashville to St. Paul, Vegas to Wall Drug, and more.

      Out of the way, but 12 & 24 from Bryce up to I-70 is an amazing drive.

      Just Jeepin'

      @ranwhenparked said in Liberty trip report:

      @just-jeepin can't beat Romanesque Revival for a courthouse, so solid and permanent looking. Wish we were still able to build civic buildings like that

      Here's a better photo, plus one from nearby Rushville that I've always loved. I just didn't know what to call them.

      And a crappy shot from another nearby town, Greensburg, semi-famous for the tree growing in its courthouse.
