LOG trips

i have just joined this forum, seems cool.
talking road trips?
log 26- roughly 5000 miles roundtrip
log 27- roughly 9500 miles roundtrip
log 28- roughly 3300 miles roundtrip

this year James(Bond) and I plan to visit my brother(and family) and his sister,Rio(my brother's dog). that will probably result in 6500-7000 miles.
we will travel at least 5000 to reach LOG29......http://www.elisetalk.com/forums/imag...s/coolnana.gif


just letting everyone know the long distance award is gonna take a lot of driving.... James and I want that award again. now if my 401k doesnt completly bottom out, we shall she you all in bama!

We did a 9,500 mile round trip to LOG 24. Only about 5,000 for LOG 27. We have a fiendish plan to drive some serious miles for LOG 31. Hint, it involves completing our quest for driving our M100 through all the continental sates of the USA.

We will bury you

If I was driving round trip, it would be over 6000 miles. But it is only one way.
