@annoying_salman Sounds about right! There are always rebadges everywhere around the world!

@racinbob We rode through that area a couple years ago. Before we decided to have a campground base, we rode from my buddy's place in Shullsburg up to Lacrosse, and then back the next day. We ate lunch at the brewery. We fell in love with the Driftless Region on that ride.

@ranwhenparked said in I was worried for nothing (Jolene).:

@mazda616 If her a/c hasn't been converted, that doesn't surprise me. I had an '84 Town Car that blew as cold as a meat locker with the original Freon

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.

@just-jeepin said in The Jeep Experience, Part 3: Rain Dance:

@nauraushaun I keep earplugs around but never use them.

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 😛

@manwich said in Road trip musings, questions:

It's red.

My thought's exactly.

@just-jeepin damn, now I want to jump in the jalopy and hit ye Olde tea room for a the 75c fried chicken Sunday special...

Airstream B190, with Ujoint Offroad's suspension and 4x4 conversion.

@just-jeepin Johnny Rose was right.

@just-jeepin This compilation is awesome! Definitely gonna be searching some local ones to do some (very flat) exploring in my Camaro.

@mark-tucker Blue Star is where it's at, but I fully admit to standing in a two hour line for stupid overpriced donuts. YOLO.

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.

@taylor-martin appreciate it, lots of folks get a laugh out of it!

@derpwagon thanks again man! Can't wait to get it home and bust out the wrenches!

@fractalfootwork

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

I just added the part 4 (last part) on the OP.

@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.
