Road trip memories.
Jeff Moe from Woodland CA to Albuquerque NM. Date - um sometime in '92 maybe?
The basics
Flew to Woodland (Sacramento) from ABQ to pick up a car that Jeff's dad was giving him. I will recall the model and exact year some time down the road; but it was a late 60's super huge boat.
The route: Hiway 49 down to hwy 120 (Tioga Pass through Yosemite), Continue on Hwy 120 across CA to Hwy 6 just west of NV - then Hwy 6 into NV all the way to Tonaph, then Hwy 95 south to Las Vegas then Hwy 93 across Hoover Dam (the bypass wasn't open or under construction or something), then Hwy 93 all the way to Kingman AZ and Interstate 40.
I40 East to ABQ and we were home.
I don't remember sleeping.
I know we crossed the Hoover Dam at night.
I know once we passed Mono Lake and were on hwy 120 east - we went airborne. The road was a roller coaster of dips and bumps - and this 1968 beast with a huge motor and luxurious shocks was close to maxed out at over 110 mph. Of course we had no seatbelts, and we bounced and tumbled and laughed our way across Eastern California.
I know we stocked up in Tonopah.
I'll remember more later.
