Lake Houston Texas - August 23, 2019
44 years ago this month we loaded Punch's Cutlass and George's Electra and drove 4000 miles frpm San Angelo Texas to Nenana, just past Fairbanks Alaska. While looking at pictures from the trip tucked in the album behind one photograph we found our overly optimistic "driving and fucking schedule" the first four days of which are translated here. We thought we could drive 12 hours a day and make 600 miles a day, we really averaged 500 and the trip took 8 days. But we screwed around a whole lot in those big backseats. Ah, trips down memory lane.
