Road Trip off the Mesa

Subaru has a new engine -
well a new used engine.
I'll check out that improved gas mileage
as I road trip to L.A.

I really enjoy trips with no specific timetable -
you know,
some people call them vacations!
Then again,
there are those who create itineraries and deadlines and expectations of their vacations.
I am not a fan of those.

I prefer to pick my destination,
preferably with family or friends on the way or on the other end
and to stop when it feels like a good time to stop.
Eat when I'm hungry
and preferably eat cool stuff that I wouldn't normally eat or find on the mesa.

I also prefer the scenic roads to freeways . . .
or for those in NJ, the toll roads.
None of those in AZ.

This trip may have to include the truck-laden I-40,
but I'll have the nice company of a son
and we'll be heading towards his brother in Los Angeles.

Looking forward to some great music,
good food,
and especially fun times with my sons.
That's a vacation worth leaving my view for -

Happy 4th of July!
