Vegas --> Bay Area
Day 13, Saturday (July 21) Las Vegas to Pleasanton (Home!)
Well, of course, the baggage did not all fit in the trunk (do they really need all those shoes?). So we had to put 2 bags stacked on one side of the back seat on top of a towel. But it ended up working out fine.
It was quite hot for most of the trip; starting at 100*F in Vegas, and eventually cooling down to 85*F driving by Tracy on I-5.
Grapevines for the California wine. (I-5, south of Santa Nella, not in Napa.)
Windmills of my mind, cruising over the Altamont into Livermore.
California sunset.
Last Fwy/Hwy offramp to complete the trip.
When we pulled into the driveway at home in Pleasanton, it was 72*, and the fog was rolling in. And we are home.
Wow. That was a loooooooong drive.
The cats are good, and the house is fine. Now it's time to make room in the garage for the new 335i. Perhaps after a day of rest.
Just for fun.
It was an awesome trip. And worth every minute (and penny). I can't wait to do it again in a few years. Here are the final statistics:
We left the BMW Performance Center in South Carolina at 2:46 pm EST.
Thanks for those who followed the blog and to those who left comments. This was alot of fun (although a bit more "work" than anticipated because uploading the pic's can be painfully slow with a weak wireless connection.
Cheers! Jeff
