Things to remember and just for Nige

As it's 7:50am here and we're all packed up ready for a day of full-on driving across the Dakota's and Dan's eating Weetabix (sp?!) I thought I'd take the opportunity to write down a few things I found amusing and want to remember, especially as I've started to forget things already!

* Satalitte Dishes outside RV's and the RV that was towing a Hummer H1! (obviously the sensible run about car)
* Excellent mpg advertised on a Honda .... (26)
* Loads and Loads and Loads of Scooby's! :)
* The fact you don't need anything more than a normal car license to drive an RV. Even if it's the size of a coach!
* The massive disparity between the rich and poor, the amount of homeless here is scary. One side of the street = deralict, the other very rich.
* You can by a 5 bed, 3 bath and 3 garage home in 1/2 an acre for $290,000 (£145,000).
* ..however, the avergage house price in Manhatten is $1.5 million... most 1 bed flats go for $1million.
* The state of the Highways! (you'd love all you EBC people, it's c*ap!) We changed lanes only to find the right hand lane 3" below the level of the one next to it.
* Getting waves from lots of Jeep owners and a little SIII almost coming off the road in the effort to wave and beep at us! lol!
* Truck with the most wheels so far: 32

Oh, and also wanted to put in a pic of Charlie Camel for Nige as he was complaining about the lack of Charlie pics! This is one from the Salt-Flats on Cape Ann, hopefully we'll start getting more pics as we get West, more off-roading, more rough Camping = more opportunities to take Charlie Camel pics! :)


P.S. Was there a Shire event yesterday? Only guessing on the amount of missed calls on Dan's phone! :) Missing you all and the Landy-ing.
