Trip Spending

Wednesday, 16 December 2009

I just got my credit card statement from the bike trip. I stopped for gas a lot, good thing it was usually only five bucks:

I seriously did not delete anything in between these days. All i bought was gas, motels, a crescent wrench and an orange pop. Well i might have paid cash for some stuff too, like camping sites and maybe food. And going across the country on only 64 gallons of gas isn't too bad either.

Michigan to Arizona - part 2

Monday, 9 November 2009

From Nashville we headed to Texas to stay with our old roommate from MSU, Josh. It was basically either driving:
or not driving:
One thing i learned from this trip...Texas is Big.
There are miles and miles of roads that look exactly like this.
Then in New Mexico we went into some stores selling Mexican blankets and unusual "Action Figures???" With removable stone tablets and "gliding action"

It took almost a whole day to drive across that state but we finally made it to Phoenix. Where upon trying to unload the bike, i broke the throttle cable. I had gone 0.00 miles and already had something break. The cable rusted and snapped in the tube. I was actually really lucky it happened there as opposed to the middle of nowhere. We had the closest shop order a new cable and overnight it.
Here's some other pictures from that part of the trip:

Then ready or not i was on my way back to Michigan...
