I arrived at EH's house last night at about 12:30 pm. Just over a 4 hour drive. Not bad. Of course that involved a positively spirited drive through the mountain twisties. Exhilarating indeed!
We did stay for the giant weenie roast. Had a few sausages then packed into the truck, revved the 300hp Jaguar-derrived AJ-V8 motor, slipped the 6-speed ZF transmission back into manu-matic sport shift and blasted through the gorgeous terrain at deliciously fast speeds - flashing mustangs and the like to pull aside to let me through.
We took the 63 shortcut on the way back, as we did on the way in and it worked out great again.
Pictures will have to come later, after I get home and pack. At work now uncomfortably sporting my noose (necktie) and longing for the rushing rivers, camping martinis and my hammock.
