Road Trip 3.0 beta (Michelle & Laurie)

[Michelle_P]

I have of course taken care of banking needs, informed card companies of where I might be in the next four weeks, prepared a sleep kit, medical kit, and am working on a personal care items kit and both travel daily and extended stay wardrobes.

The Prius has been serviced, and preparations made for extended travel.  Auto insurance is paid up as are assorted bills expected for the next month.

I suspect this may provide some insight into possible variations in travel approaches between Laurie and I.

So then ya been to Canada lately eh?  Out and about you just take a big left at highway 101 stop with friends along the way and be in Victoria BC before ya know what day it is for sure.  Yay, go north, fur sure, before winter or the quaknami comes.

12:27 and Michelle and I  are on the road, destination unknown. Direction is southeasterly.

The Laurie tracker puts them about at Tracy on hwy 580
I waved to them as they passed by Livermore!

[Laurie]

The sign says welcome to Oakdale on hwy 120 east. First modification since 120 through Yosemite is closed we will go around to the north.  Randomized chaos at work.

Hugs,
  Laurie & Michelle

I take it that Laurie's advanced preparations were a roll of loo paper and a swiss army knife?

I think the only thing Laurie made sure was onboard was her sweetheart 🌸🌸🌸

[Jessica]

The Laurie tracker is up and running...for now.  A waif, her mistress and 2 badgers have been located in Lee Vining.  Even through the dense smoke from nearby fires, they have been found!

Lady Jessica

Hmmmmm.. is this another ruse....they seem to be heading to....Vegas!
The land of Elvis, love and the big gamble!

Should I fire up a new tracking map?

You are the pro.  I was waiting for you to take charge.

@Steph2.0
Dear Stephanie....
YES, do indeed fire up the tracking map.
It can give us poor victims a chance to hide before they show up at our front door to put us up on top of the refrigerator... or worse yet, put us in the refrigerator.

Hugs,
Danielle

Road trip day 1:  You all are safe so far, but keep those refrigerators clean!  We made it past the SF Bay Area getaway traffic, and routed ourselves around the Yosemite evacuation zone, taking 108 over Sonora Pass. There were fires burning in the canyon below 108 several miles west of the pass.

We stopped at Benton, getting dinner at Benton Station. It's basic but good food, and the only option for many miles around.

After dinner we headed to Tonopah, where we wound up in a hotel for the night. So ends Day 1...

Yes, you read it right, less than 400 miles today.  My belle,  Michelle drove the whole 10.5 hours and wound up in a Best Western for the night. "A Best Western! " in a bed that has more space between us than the distance we traveled today.
  I agree it's an egrarious price to pay in ordered to be with her but what can I do? I do love her after all. Well maybe we will manage to get somewhere tomorrow.

  Perhaps a couple of pictures will make up for our lack of progress. Bow all the haze and billowy clouds ate smoke. The dot in the brown haze is the sun at 6:45 pm. One one the blue haze shots is looking out and down at Mono Lake. We spent almost the whole day in smoke.

Hugs,
  Michelle & Laurie

If you had a SPOT, we could track you.

Dear Laurie and Michelle:
Thank you ladies for keeping us up to date with your road trip progress, and thank you also for posting your pictures.

The one picture of you two in the car is terrific, it looks like you are having fun with Michelle driving and Laurie being the navigator.   
Two blondes driving along the roadways... what could possibly go wrong?

Thank you for your posting.  Many more to come hopefully.
Hugs,
Danielle

Almost 10 am and we are still in our room at Best Western.... Already about 200 miles behind for the day.... Rookie traveling companions...I swear!! Good thing we are free birding it!

Hugs,
  Laurie & Michelle

Btw the bright thing inthe one picture is the flash reflection on the window. The tiny spot is the sun.
