Ebay really should regulate seller location claims.
More than once I have bought a dress from Ebay and it said from "Pamona, California". So it gives a shipping time estimate based on that. So I think, yes, it will be here snappy so I can use it at fill in the blank event. Then it shows up a month later with customs declaration stickers on it from China.
Then twice I tried it on and it was way too big, so then I am stuck because I am not sending back to China. So i put a case through PayPal.
I bet those cup holders are the same, it says "US stock" but I bet it ships from an alley in China somewhere.

Good Evening All! Mom, Uncle and 2 Aunts visiting this week, on huge road trip from Alaska/Canada. Uncle is an adrenaline junkie, runs marathons etc. Wants me to climb Everest with him (to the base camp 21K feet) lol! He's in his late 60's holy crap!

I am going on a road trip tomorrow.
I feel like a kid in the 60s saying "yippee, road trip"
Going to the mountains because this might be the last chance to see the scenic stuff before it freezes over and turns into something out of a scary movie.

We went to some local mountain top view points (drive to) and to the new park on the water in town. Last stop was a thrift shop my Mom and her sister like, I found a Mose Allison CD, learned about him listening to a live The Who album where they reference him as the original artist on "Young Man Blues". He's a jazz pianist/singer, really like both versions. That's what I like about music, always something new.
I haven't seen that much of Colorado but I have been through it, Steamboat Springs etc. was beautiful!

Everest is a quick way to die. I hope you explain to him that is NOT a good idea

I am more in the southern and eastern part of the state. We are probably going down to walsenburg and then heading west through La Veta.
I am going on another road trip soon as well. To the East coast and back, again!!!
He knows his limitations and trains to the task. He told me of a "marathon plus" was actually 32 miles, drastic elevation changes. Also did the "rim to rim" Grand Canyon marathon. He doesn't want to crest the peak but wants to hike to the base camp.
Oh, one more place in Colorado I liked was Rifle. We stopped at a roadside chili place, iron kettle on the fire and all, best chili I ever ate!
What route, something you haven't driven or something familiar? I want to do Route 66 some day.

If I had the vacation time from work, I would stand on the side of the road and wait for you to show up and mooch a ride to the east coast.
We could be like hippies except we wear deodorant and maintain personal hygiene..... and don't drive a vw bus. And actually have jobs and are responsible.

I went to Wyoming Tech right after high school and lived in Laramie Wyoming for about a year. The Rocky mountains are beautiful!!
I have driven all of route 66 that can be driven.
Maybe a southern route. I have been several different ways...

I almost went there because I could have had a full ride scholarship for women in non traditional vocations. Their recruiter was down here and everything.
I ended up chickening out because i didn't want to be far from my adoptive parents and finished auto school locally.
I always wondered if I made a mistake but then I heard a lot of people say it wasn't worth it.....I will never know.
Becky my wife has relatives in Pennsylvania, she's from Michigan. We want to drive there to see Carlisle and possibly the car show in Hershey with her sisters hubby who's been. Nice road trip I would think.

Wow, I guess life is no regrets and hopefully you land on your feet.
You went quite a few years before my time but i bet nothing changed in that time.
I am glad I stayed home.

That chunk of 66 just past Oatman Az. is a real hoot. Vertical above you, vertical below you, no shoulders, barely a guard rail
. The Cat skinner that carved that through there was out of his rock pickin' mind 
. The only crossing on the Colorado River in that area must have been that narrow 1 lane, 1 way bridge at Needles.
It aint so!

Looks like another day of no sun.
2 days of rain coming.
Then nice warm weekend.
