You have my dream job. Srsly.

I recognized that Ohio Rt 7 pic... from when I just took Rt 7 all the way to WV one time in the miata

This is a fun thread. I think I like how Colorado looks.

It's a nice job, however it still keeps you away from family. The company doesn't want anyone away for more than a week unless absolutly necessary. And back to back weeks aren't condoned either.

wish i had the time to travel like that. i love going new places. but in your first post of the picture when you were in the ohio valley. i live about 10 min from stuebenville (where those pics were) obviously you know that. thought that was kinda of interesting

I only have the time because its my job. Trust me, there wouldn't be the time or money to do this if I had to foot the bill.

Well, I'm currently sitting in a hotel in Jackson, MS. So I'll upload the few pics I took driving from Jackson to Monroe, LA and back to Jackson.

Fixed.

I had a gray one with like 15'' aftermarket rims try to race me. I laughed.

I like this thread though, it kind of brings me around the states you know.

They are much nicer than a Neon. Are you sure it was a GT and not a 4cyl?

updated first post with a banner from my.flightmemory with the total miles i've flown

Post by **racer12306** » Sun Mar 15, 2009 9:13 pm

updated my FlightMemory. Up to almost 33,000 miles flown in the last year. My next flight is to Indy at the end of the month. Working on putting up pics from the last few trips.

I have to clear out my phone because I hit the memory limit, 300 pics.

dude love the shots!

how in the world did you get 50MPG?? And what size wheels do you have? I heard that getting bigger than the stock ones lowers your MPGs :/

Post by **racer12306** » Sun Mar 15, 2009 9:29 pm

I've got some awesome ones from Utah that I'm uploading.

Haven't checked this thread in a while. You're doing exactly what I want to do when I get out of the Marine Corps... just travel around.

And you said you're taking these pics from the LG enV? Like, the one that comes in silver or orange? I got the orange one. Only thing I hate from the camera is that there is a huge delay when I hit the "capture" button... maybe it's just beat up a bit since it was with me in Afghanistan.

Post by **racer12306** » Sun Mar 15, 2009 10:08 pm

Yeah, thats the one. Takes some great shots for a camera phone. It also comes in a green, like a camo green.

camo green... what's that supposed to mean?! I'm not all "ooh-rah" motivated

I hate the Corps

... *cries*

kidding. Sort of (I do hate it lol).

And I hate the camera on my phone, I seriously think it's kinda fucked up.

Where are those Utah pictures?!

So, here are all the pics from the last couple months. Haven't done a ton of traveling as its been a little slow.

Milwaukee in December

Idaho in February

Pittsburgh in January

Montana in February

Washington in Febrary, hung out with my sister in law in Seattle

New England in March

and some ass decided it was a good idea to hit my rental car in a parking lot and not leave any info. so there is a claim with VISA to get the thing fixed, stupid idiots

And two pics from the Airplane out to Phoenix

Post by **racer12306** » Mon Mar 16, 2009 3:30 pm

I have no idea why a few pics aren't working. I'll try to relink them tonight.

Post by **racer12306** » Mon Mar 16, 2009 7:45 pm

fixed the links, they all work now.

Post by **racer12306** » Tue Mar 17, 2009 7:38 am

when you're a badass, like Frank, you pretty much have to travel in order to spread your 'badass-ness' out. can't have it all piling up in MD cause then you need a permit and whatnot. it's complicated really...

Pictures from Indiana. I also updated my flight log, almost 34,000 miles now.

Post by **racer12306** » Thu Mar 26, 2009 12:03 pm

Looks like I shot those in low res, changed the camera back to normal so the next pics will be bigger.

Also, my rental was an 09 Focus. It was actually a decent car. I wish the parking brake was in a different location, but other than that it was pretty comfortable. If the computer wasn't lying I got 36-37mpg on a 300 mile trip, not bad for an auto car.

So you got to grace the great state of Indiana...no wonder things got a little brighter here!

Yeah really, with me and Frank within 30 miles of each other, it starts to get deep here.

^^^Sir, can I see your permit?
