Keeping The Windmill Alive - Your Last Trip? – August 2017

They sent me to a contractor in Orlando.

From Eastern Shore MD to Longwood Garden in PA. A couple of hours each way. Very peaceful, sunny, drive. Excellent time touring the Garden. Been there a number of times before, but it never is quite the same. The drive home even included a covered bridge.

Auto repair.

Flawless navigation from the 2595 from the Boston area to Acadia and back. Took us right to the driveway of campground despite all of the "tacky tourist detours" we made along the route. I'm glad it doesn't say: "recalculating" anymore! Also got us -back- to the campground after nightfall from the far reaches of the park at the opposite side of the park.

Leaving from Orlando this morning for a three-day ride down the west coast of Florida, across the Tamiami Trail through the Everglades, and over to the Ft Lauderdale / Miami area, then up the Atlantic coast along Route 1 & A1A. We did this ride about 11 years ago and had a blast ... It will be interesting to see how things have changed.

Big Loop Roadtrip!

Six days enjoying a tour of our home state

To buy a new SUV from Laura Buick/GMC, 250 miles south of where I live.

I know, I know, buy local. But hey, I'm willing to drive a little to save a lot!

It's been awhile. Checking back in.

Did a road trip around the country in 25 days with 8500 miles later and using Garmin GPS.

Orlando for a VA appointment

Just driving around.

Went to a Sporting Clays tournament in Northern Michigan.

Chambersburg pa

a short trip down to southern Illinois

Just back from Loma Linda for same...

Attending a birthday of my friend's friend. I've gotten used to being the "plus one."

Traveling to jobs locations in southern WV. Always use the zumo 665 and it's always flawless.

Had a nice weekend (went up early to the cottage for some relaxation) and worked from 'home' Friday. Was very nice and good time away.

I may be the newest winner to the Publisher's clearing House Sweepstakes though. Oh - wait; never-mind. Apparently you have enter those things.

I will be going between central Ohio to visit/check in on aging relatives, and Northern Wisconsin because that's what I seem to do...

Getting old when the doctor has you take a stress test. All ok for my age

Not much of trip, but used it to go a different way to a friends house yesterday for a eclipse party. Found two roads I didn't know existed, missed the first one and had to use the second one.

To see the Total Solar Eclipse.
It was awesome.

Went there on business to our office. Beautiful this time of year. Traffic as usual was a big challenge.

I flew my Lear Jet to Nova Scotia to see it. Big mistake.

Round and round in circles.

Driving around this Ol' Navy town.

Drove to southeast Tennessee near the NC border to get to the path of totality for the eclipse...it was so worth it!

on my moon-phase wristwatch...

Making a quick jaunt down island and back.

but will be heading out next week.
It will be a long trip for us. About 1300 miles one way.
Glad I have a codriver.

Trying to get to my friend's house after my divemaster exam.

The back way.

Use my gps as a backup.

Took my daughter up to a little place named Orin, WY. Total trip time up there was pretty much what Garmin said, 330 Miles/5 hours. Set up camp less than 4 miles north of the centerline path of totality on Sunday.

Woke up overnight to the darkest skies I haven't seen since my days stationed in the Azores. A galaxy full of suns and you could see the Milky Way easily. Morning skies were clear and not much haze.

As for describing 2 minutes and 24 seconds of totality, there are no words and pictures/video to convey the experience. You have to see it to understand.

Took 14 hours to get home. Was it worth it? You bet'cha!

Just a short 80 mile one way trip today to meet up with friends.Returning tomorrow.

Just off I-85 to not see the sun in the afternoon for 2 minutes and 27 seconds on the 21st. The eclipse and pre-eclipse parking lot camaraderie was great. You could have kept all the traffic!

went to Tennessee to view the eclipse. great time but traffic on 81 coming home was unbelievable.

windmill spinning.

The old reliable Garmin loaded with POI's from here kept me going up in Homosassa and Crystal River, Florida during a recent outdoors newspaper column trip recently.
