Default You know, these "quick" Saturday drives have to stop...

Last Saturday night, my wife and I went for a "quick" drive and I ended up putting about 250 miles on the TT (Up US 287 to Fort Collins to I-25 to Cheyenne, WY for gas, then back on I-25 to the Boulder area.)

Tonight she again said we could go for a "quick drive" before dinner.

Up CO 119 to Longmont to CO 66 to Lyons to US 36 to Estes Park, up Trail Ridge Road to Many Parks Curve, where it's closed off for the season (and was snowing), back down, down US 34 to Loveland, back down I-25 home. Four hours and another 180 miles or so.

I don't think she's going to let me take her for a quick drive before dinner anymore... ;-)

Default eventually you will have taken all of the roads within 250 miles...

then you can either stop your "quick" drives -- or go for the 500 mile quickies! :-)

Actually, I already have driven most of them... that doesn't stop combining them in new ways!

Default Just stop it. You're killing me. Here's my quick drive potential itinerary:

Take Flat Road 100 to Somewhat Curvy Road Through TrailerParkWasteland back to Flat Road 200. Turn around because I haven't seen a gas station for miles that is open because Mom and Pop closed 'em at 4pm since the Roadkill Stew(tm) was done early and Martha May is fixin' to go back to 'Bama for the week.

Head back on Little Bit Curvy Tree Lined Road to Flat Road 100 and get onto Interstate 95 just so I can open her up a bit. Radar detector senses K band traffic ahead, so slow down to 'Merrican speeds and head home dejected.


Did I mention it was 80 degrees today. No, well, now I did and I feel a little better. The A/C is cranking as I speak.
