Sep 28, 2013#1

Left this morning. Rainy damn Washington state.

Crashing for the day just past Klamath Falls. Exhausted. Only 6 hours to SF though. Making ridiculous time.

That's why he crashed.

(I've done 10hrs from Huntsville, AL to Royal Oak, MI. It's certainly possible, just uncomfortable)

Sorry MD. Due to some complications of the female variety I ended up leaving a day and a half late and I had time to make up.

@Tress still about?

Is this your stopping point, or are you journeying further?

I'm sorry I can't meet up. It turns out I have exactly zero free time this week.

Yay work.

A couple of years ago, I went to visit my friend in San Jose and it rained the entire week I was there.

Dark, late night. No traffic. No signs. Needed to stop, but signs at pullouts said no sleeping in vehicles. Waited until outside Carmel to pull over where there were no signs.

Woke up to

The only place I've felt remotely squirrely is Oakland. Fucking Oakland.

Nobody likes Oakland. Even people from Oakland. Oakland is the U.S.'s asshole, and that's COUNTING Jersey

Duh, Jersey is the armpit. Florida is...

Are you going somewhere in particular or just going where the wind takes you?

Anywhere really. No set plans aside from the next few days in Vegas.

This is so incredibly true. A fucking shithole through and through.

My favourite part of my trip so far. Has to use the instagram filter because it's so beautiful...

Psh. Who needs working brakes anyway.

Dude, your baby has no shoes!

What happened?

Oct 2, 2013#38

Adam

Stienman nailed it. Caught a grinding noise coming in through the Cali desert. Decided to have it looked at in Henderson. Turns out that the back brake pads were gone and the rotors too thin to be machined. And the calipers had to be rebuilt because they were stuck on.

$750 later and that's my entire trip budget gone. I mean it had to get done anyways and it was wayyyyyy cheaper to get it done down here than in Canada but still. Ouch.

But definitely need brakes for Utah and Montana.

Las vegas is a lot of fun for about 48 hours if you have 2000-5000 dollars to blow in a hurry. Otherwise, yeah, what you said.

Oct 3, 2013#41

Shakey

Old Vegas is a whole lot more fun. Hopefully you made it over there.

Oct 3, 2013#42

Adam

this is roughly my tenth time in Vegas, first time alone. I am quickly learning I need people.

Oct 3, 2013#43

Alone in Vegas?

Shit man.

What I'd give to be there for a few days...

Alone on very restricted funding. Hitting up a club tonight after 10.

And we never heard of Adam again.
