I drove alot in June. I’ll figure out the exact mileage and gas consumption when I put up my riot numbers, but I bet its more than the average U.S. consumer’s consumption. The big trip in June was to a funeral. Originally the plan was to fly to the funeral. But since the destination didn’t have a major airport, it would have meant a transfer and a lot of waiting around in airport terminals…and frankly, I can think of other ways of spending my time. Additionally, I didn’t feel like adding humiliation to the trip nor did I feel like purchasing many clear, resealable plastic baggies. So I looked into taking the train or the bus and found that the train or bus would have taken too long. So we settled on driving which wound up being the least expensive and quickest way of getting there.
I used flexcar for the trip. We saw many, many, many dead deer and other miscellaneous roadkill. It made me very sad.
During the few days we were at our destination we had about an hour of peace…and I took some pictures.
