It is the pursuit of the American Dream that keeps us from realizing our true dreams of exploration. Limited vacation time has me spending a week in Alaska next month instead of the entire month. Stop by in Washington and I'll bring you a few unique spots along your trip.Sean McDermotthttp://bestscenicroutes.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5950664143576637249.post-56163035081204492692012-07-11T09:11:12.323-05:002012-07-11T09:11:12.323-05:00Honestly, too boring.

Getting from Minnesota to something interesting would be the problem. Couple that with the fact that the WR gets no better mileage than the DL and . . . what's the point? I have 100 miles better range on the DL (with 2 gallons more fuel capacity) and it will go most anywhere I want to go on a 12,000 mile trip. If the WR got 65-70mpg, it would be a different story.T.W.

Watching him cope with big variations in his initial expectations eliminated that worry. Then, I just checked in regularly to see how he was doing and add some of the stuff he did to my own list of "where to go." He travels completely differently than me, fewer miles per day and stays in motels and friends' homes. I tend to look for a small town campground or pull off on a dirt road and camp between some trees. A motel every 4-5 nights, if I can't take a shower in a truck stop or campground will do me. <br /><br />I think looking through my own Alaska photo album did some damage, too.T.W.

I'm on my way to CA right now before heading back north near the end of the month. And took it to the Arctic Circle last fall. <br /><br />It sounds like you've been looking through ChrisL Flickr gallery...RichardMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04773834892715980735noreply@blogger.com
