Well, our trip is about over. Little over 700 miles yesterday
and we'll match that today. I think the scenic route added about 200 miles but it
seemed worth it. We hit Mac's in Susanville which puts us right on track for the
Dairy Queen in Myrtle Creek, Oregon, a good old fashion one. They know how to
serve ice cream. We have Blizzards that are overflowing with twice the chocolate
and goodies you get at the DQ's near us. It's almost worth the extra 200 miles
by itself! We hit a little traffic around Portland but it's smooth sailing from
there.


Let's review the trip. We put 4800 miles on the odometer.
Gas probably averaged $3.25 a gallon. We got a little over 30 mpg on our 1996
Chevy Lumina. So that's 160 gallons so a little over five hundred bucks.
