Carmageddon: Part 4

Carmageddon: Part 4

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…

My Bachelor Party Story: Part 3

Hungover or not, we had to check out of the hotel and head home. Our headcount showed two guys missing. We tried calling one of their cell phones, but there was no answer. The only plausible explanation (to us) was that they were dead or the got arrested. Assuming they weren’t dead, we worked on…

RV Roadtrip (Part 2)

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…

RV Roadtrip (Part 1)

RV Roadtrip (Part 1)

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…
