Default Road Trip!

Last week, my wife and I left before dawn on a 9-hour road trip. She drove first. These shots do a decent job of capturing what I saw from the passenger seat, as I struggled to stay awake.


Road Trip! (1)

Road Trip! (2)

Lack of vibration reduction, a Chevy Trailblazer and a bumpy stretch of road all contributed to these photos.

Thanks for looking.

I love road trips, but that's a lot about how I feel when I go on them. We used to go from the Atlanta area to Miami when I was a kid, before interstates and air conditioning. Windows down all the way and my parents drove pretty fast. I would be vibrating until the next day.

LOL, I know all about the bumpy road thing. Great presentation of a long pre-dawn drive chip.

You should send those in to the dept. of highways for their next drunk driving commercials.

Thanks, Mike. It seems that I'm a bit younger, since we had interstates (but not complete like they are today) and A/C, but my dad was quite good at obeying the 55 mph speed limit! Sure made for long, long road trips as a kid.

Thanks very much, Fred. It seems that roads around here are getting worse - and this was on an interstate.

LOL! And you can hear the driver say "But ossifer . . . . I just had 2 beers. Really." (Now is when I wish I had a hiccup emoticon.)
