The transmissions were now dead on the Nova and Oldsmobile. We managed to roll both cars downhill to a large, graveled clearing along the road (thank you, gravity). This would be our camping spot for the night. Beer in hand, we prepared for the stationary destruction phase. We had three broken down cars, the curiosity…
After doing my best Indiana Jones impression, it was my turn to drive. I hopped into the Oldsmobile 88 Royale. Compared to the little Nova, it was a tank. The dirt road we were on was wide enough to fit a logging truck with a bit of space on each side. It was close to…
It was my friend’s bachelor party, and we had just pulled onto an old logging road with a truck, an RV, and two and a half cars. Our plan was to find as many ways to abuse the cars as possible. The cars were destined for the junk yard. About a quarter mile up the…

After an interesting evening in Kennewick, Washington, followed by a long, slow drive to Moscow, Idaho, we woke up the next day ready for more. It was now Saturday morning, and our day would start out in the parking lot of a Walmart. I recall trying to find breakfast in the little downtown area, which…
My buddy bought an RV to live in while his house was being built. When the house was built, and he was all moved in, the RV was free to use for recreational purposes. Four friends and I got together for a weekend mancation, intent on travelling through some of the more rural parts of…
