    Cool Drive to California! (Pics)

    Well some of you may know I'm in the army, and recently made the change from being in korea for two years to california. Well I drove from WI to Caly while home on leave this past march. Here's a few pics from the trip:





    Snow storm in Utah.



    The most deadly road in California, Fort Irwin Road:

    31miles of straight twisty 55mph roads.

    Sweet. Did you drive by yourself? I used to drive to NJ solo every year just to have some alone time and enjoy the road.

    My paint got FVCKED in utah!!! They use this sand/pebbles instead of salt. My hood is fvcked and the lower parts of my doors are fvcked!!! I'm so pissed and sad it looks like crap.

    My grandpa and I made the drive in 1 and a half days. Non stop 4 hour switchoffs. Was getting 24-27 mpg depending on the area. Oh and it was cold as hell going thru the colorado mountains.

    Dave hitme up the next time you come out here!!! I'm in so cal.

    They do that here, as well as many places... MN/IL... probably everywhere.
    Does suck though

    Ya I'm pretty sure thats the one. It was a fun drive and some nice site seeing along the way.

    Although this desert thing is growing on me. There's no rules for driving in the desert! You can take a truck, car, bike, atv, anything out there. All the cops said was the recomend going out with a buddy cuz some guy went out last year crashed and died. They found him 4 days later.

    Must fight the urge of buying an ATV or Jeep!

    Sucks about the paint but it looks like quite a fun road trip .

    About the salt thing, I'd rather have paint chips than a rusty car . I wish we used sand instead of salt. Salt is evil, plain and simple.
