I hesitated to comment on any of the on-road entries because I fear I will be supporting blogging-and-driving (although according to that one bumper sticker, THAT should be easy). That all said, what a delightful trip it seems to have been.
"Drove away from a station with the fuel door open and the gas cap dangling from the side of the car"
