  • On the Road – Americas Loneliest Road

  • On the Road – Reno, NV

    This morning I woke up early.  I mean really early – because a bear and her cubs were rummaging around in the motel’s dumpster.  Not a big deal, just a little noisy. It was a very pleasant motel in Walker,… Continue reading

  • On the Road – life goes on

    Even though it doesn’t have anything remotely to do with cars it was something that I couldn’t pass up.  It was a tour of the Missile Museum at the White Sands Missile Range just outside of Las Cruses, NM. Here… Continue reading
