New pics from my first road trip

I agree ... wow! Just goregous!


Nice pics!

You take some good pictures. Well done!

Here's a tip I find most valuable: Take down radar detectors, gps units, and anything else that dangles from the windshield. I'm picky, so that's distracting. So many pictures I have taken could have been so much better without that clutter in the car.

Those pictures are absolutely beautiful ! Great job. Do you have negative comments about the BOX on such a long trip ? Just curious.

Some of the best pictures I have even seen on this Forum!

Well, I am sure Wconley will answer your question, but I can tell you I did a 2,000 miles trip last year to the Tail of the Dragon, and my only complaint is that I wish it were further away!

Thats excellent to hear. As soon as I get some good time off I want to do a long road trip myself.

Thanks everyone!

Jeph, good point on the GPS clutter. Didn't even think of it for any but the mountain shot and there I knew it wasn't in the picture.

gmboxster, I really don't have any negatives so far, well other than you have to remember sunscreen. It's comfortable and easy to drive for long distances. I installed the rear speaker option and ipod connection kit and that makes for good tunes even with the top down. As I mentioned, this was a trip to an outdoor concert so we had low lawn chairs in back, a soft-side cooler, light hiking gear and day packs, clothes for the different weather expected and my camera bag and tripod. A lot of stuff!

I was amazed after I got the car to find out you can put two roll-on suitcases in the front trunk, stacked one on top of the other so there's tons of room. We only had one for this trip and then the other loose gear on top. Probably the only negative was that we couldn't buy much at the outlet malls - oh wait, that's a positive as well.

Beautiful shots, thanks for sharing. I live on the east coast where there are lots of nice curvey roads but you can't beat the scenery in the northwest.
