got sick of all the crap involved with air travel so i took a rental car and drove from rural NM to bakersfield today great experience, 9/10, domestic air travel is dead to me now

ended up costing about the same as a flight ticket, including gas and the hotel room i’m in right now

had a little scare at flagstaff, my plan did not account for heavy snow and ice in arizona. very scenic, would do again (but equipped with tire socks in case of emergency)
