My little sister was in Denver on Tuesday and Wednesday as a speaker at a mine safety seminar. With unseasonably warm weather here in Colorado, it gave me the perfect excuse to drive from Steamboat to Denver (175 miles) watch her presentation, have dinner and drive back. Two mountain passes, some spirited driving and I still got 26+ mpg. You got to love this weather!

Most Friday mornings (our weekend here in Bahrain) I get up and out at around 5 a.m. and go for a blast up and down a 40 mile long stretch of new 6 lane highway. Not a cop in sight, guaranteed!
Then the long way round to the grocery store for breakfast ingredients and home for around 9 when the family are just surfacing.
Can't think of a better start to the day.

I try to make a road trip about once or twice a month, Nowhere special, Just to take some pictures and look at the country side and to drive the winding roads we have out west here. A few weeks ago I got up early drove 130 miles one way just to take a few pictures on the C5 on the Black Rock desert.

The same goes for me, especially the on ramps, when you know you have the power to get on, but seldom use it, unless you need to, and then knowing that you achieved your goal
