Filled up on Red Mtn Road near Centerville, Ga. Just over 20 gallons for an even 80 bucks. Add one pair of sunglasses, a rice crispees treat, and a (diet) mountain dew for a quick energy boost. Next stop: Chattanooga
Sun came up and cloudy skies have cleared. The Dropkick Murphys are helping my energy level as I drive through Atlanta. MPG is 17.6.
I’m 20 miles or so from Valdosta and the sun just started to rise. I’m almost getting 17 miles per gallon.
So I’m headed back to Ann Arbor — and this time I’m taking the truck. So the negatives are obvious… First the Harley gives me great joy and incredible gas mileage. Then there’s the smell factor, becuase the mountains of Tennessee and Kentucky smell amazing from the seat of the Harley.
But then there’s the other side of the story. The truck gets horrid mileage, True. But, the truck has space to load with boxes. And I can talk on the phone and drive. AND… thanks to the new plugin, I can even blog from the road.
So the plan… at least one blog post per state.
Let’s see how it goes. The goal is to leave Saturday morning at 6:00 am. Ugh.
