I drove over 12 hours today. When I got out of the seat, I realized why Qantas makes you get up and walk around on the flight to Australia. I've driven 3,500 miles and haven't used cruise control once.

I have a question. Sorry but I really only looked at the pictures and I didn't pay attention to the driving part How many miles did you average each day?

I'll tally it up when I get home. Yesterday was just a long day driving 650 or so. That only gives me 350 to go for today as I'm just out of Phoenix. I could've made it last night but decided against the extra six hours.

lol. Wild guess and snapped a pic. Saw all the power wires coming off of it so I guessed it was a power plant.

From Phoenix to home today when everybody wakes up. Much more relaxing then yesterday.

I had another night of camping at Wild Horse you could have used last night. You probably saw the track from I-10.

I did. We came over to the West Side of Phoenix to Buckeye. Didn't want to hit traffic this morning on our way out.

7.8 MPG hurts. Time to throw some exhaust on that bitch and get it closer to 10.

Yeah. It was 7.3 last time so maybe I'm breaking it in a little. That's just an estimate as I didn't want to start with a full tank in CA, just enough to get me to AZ where it was cheaper.
