Well, I found the "twin" to my own car. Yeah, doesn't sound like much, but Honda doesn't make the Prelude model anymore.
Every Prelude of the same year that I've seen (not many, by the way), has been red, white and blue (how's that for patriotic colors!). I took this pic from my own car on a back street near my business...grainy blurry pic. First time I've seen a black '94 Prelude!
Speaking of which....I love my Prelude. The '94 model was the "sexiest" looking out of the whole series. The newer models, although also cool looking, were a bit too many "angular" lines to them.
Vegas was fun. 'Nuff said.
Aaah, well, I gues I can say that I learned a lot at the martial arts seminars, and although we spent most of the time in meetings or seminars we did find time to check out the Fremont Street Experience, the Strip, and the roller coaster at New York New York.
Hot, though. Man......it was like 108 to 110 degrees. I forgot about how hot it can get there....every time I've been there, it was in August, and it was HOT.
Next time I go, i'm going for fun, not business....

Wow, Rainier beer is STILL being sold? I remember the familiar smell of Rainier beer when my Dad came home from a hard day of landscaping. When I got of drinking age I thought the stuff was foul! :-) I don't even know where its brewed nowadays.....
Have a safe and happy holiday, everbody!
Ha ha ha! I saw this in a restroom in California, and for some reason I thought it was funny!
We left Andrew's place about 10 a.m. It was another beautiful ride toward Washington. When we crossed the border we rejoiced at the fact that we could put our own credit cards at the pump card reader and lift our own pump was its holder! Oregon's "don't pump your own gas" still is foreign to me. But, Its great that it keeps the job availability open at gas stations.
We stopped in Morton for lunch. Lyn had a headache, Anna was exhausted, and I was sniffling and felt a headache coming on....I think I caught a bug is Reedsport. Ugh.
It got hot again, since coming inland from the coast....maybe I didn't drink enough water today, which might explain the headache.
Later, upon getting onto hwy 167, we could feel home getting closer. (me, I was looking forward to sleeping in my own bed!). We parted ways from 167 to go to our respective homes.
Aaah. Home. As much fun as I've had on this trip, I'm glad to be home.
Feels funny to drive a car
now though. I ran some errands upon arriving home, using my car. I followed a guy on a Harley for part of the way, and found myself veering a bit to the right to get "into staggered formation". Duh. Car, Rusty. Ha ha!
What a beautiful ride up the Oregon coast!! I've never been on hwy 101 before, and I'm glad I got the chance to ride it!
After leaving Reedsport, we continued up the coast on a chilly ride....exceptionally cool on the coast the last few days. Stopped in Newport for a hot bowl of chowder (yum!).
Nearing Rockaway Beach, I saw what I thought was a bird that Lyn rode over. It appeared that feathers exploded all over the place. Turns out, as I passed the "bird", I found that the "feathers" were dollar bills! Her wallet fell out of her jacket pocket and her cards and money were blowing all over the road. "Uh oh, something dropped", lyn told Anna Marie over the intercom. We immediately pulled over......
Lyn ran up the road to get her wallet....wasn't easy since there was traffic whizzing by. She got all her stuff, thankfully. Needless to say, I checked all my pockets and made sure they were zipped up!
Stopped off at Canon Beach to take some pics, then off to Astoria to stay with Couchsurfing.com member, Andrew.
Nice guy, and very hospitable. We all went to St. George brewhouse to meet some gal-buddies of his, for live music and beer. We were all so tired...after getting back to Andrew's place, I blew up my mattress and was out till 7:30 the next morning......
(pics are of Canon Beach, and with Andrew just before leaving his house)
Another hot day. Supposed to be in the 90's in this area today.....whew! Topped in Rogue City for gas, and found that we drove right into the "Rooster Crow Festival". It's pretty busy here right now. One of the main events here is that contestants get their roosters together and see which one can continuously crow the longest. Sounds interesting, but we gotta get back on the road.
The above pic is of the huge "R" carved in to the hillside at Rogue City..... Below the hillside are some the booths for the Rooster Crow Festival.....I don't know how well the pic will turn out, but the white blob on the hill is the big "R".
