Road trip ends wait for new one begins

How many roads can a man go down? The answer my friends is not blowing in the wind. The answers is as many as you want too. Just try and make them the ones least traveled. So that they are your life's roads not some tourist path.
And of course if your an exceedingly charming alpha male, you can even get the girl bears to stand up and beg. Might have been an interesting date, but they wouldn't sell me a ticket for her on the sail boat. Probably wouldn't have worked out anyway. You know what they say sometimes you eat the bear and sometime the bear eats you. And i have to question her honesty because my BITOHONEY candy disappeared during our hug.

Now I'd like to barge and say i sail this puppy all over the bay! But truth is i got to do it for the last five minutes of the trip. Replacing a 7 year old girl that did it for about 60% of the voyage. Nice warm day light wind and a small group made this the beginning of a great day of stude hunting, farmers markets along the roads, shrimp and oyster hero's, and the endless beauty of the outer areas of Seattle.

Of course one must always be on the lookout for Green Transportation these days and i felt that this little hybrid was an excellent option. With it's combination of 500 rechargeable D cell batteries. A solar and wind generator chargers, escape hatch, and safety day glow lighting strips. Made it a wanna have. But the lightning rod electricity option, with overhead streetcar line attachment made it too pricey for me. However there is a cost offset due to the built in sleeping shelf, and the space shuttle type loo complete with bath. Travel without towing and motels would be a plus. But it didn't have Studebaker on it so that was a deal killer.
But all was not lost because i was able to but this sweet little ride. A 1959 Studebaker 2 door wagon. Don't be alarmed it's actually worse than it looks in the picture. Here i am looking a Studes all over the Northwest and i bought this one via e-mail off of craigslist in Tucson. But that's what makes it all fun. ya never know what your gonna know.

More later maybe! It is whale watching time in Monterrey
