mrslomo.... wow, dang, that's expensive for a car + 2 passenger with no food/cabin! I glanced at the fare on the web and when I saw $800+ I was like, "okay, we're driving back! muahahhaha"

And thanks for all the kind comments, everyone!
Wow, some hardcore driving there! Although not all in once piece, I did drive through Death Valley, Joshua Tree National Park, Palm Springs, Phoenix, Sedona, Flagstaff, Barringer Crater, Grand...
Get "The Milepost" before you leave. It contains a wealth of information about the cities and places you'll drive through, gas stations, motels, stuffs to do, tips & tricks, etc.

Whittier was on the itinerary but we ended up spending more time in Homer so we didn't get to go. But I want to do this again in the future so I'll go to places I could not go this time.
From Seattle, it took me 3 nights and on the 4th day I reached Fairbanks. I spent 6 days in Alaska before headed back to Seattle. I drove about 10 hours a day, plus 2 hours shooting pictures, bio...
I did not take the ferry, where's the fun in that? :p Actually, we had considered it prior to departure but the ticket was more than the gas so we drove back as well.
Oops, sorry... try again.

Went for a 2 week road adventure from Washington to Alaska. Over 6,000 miles round trip! There were so much to see, shot over 5,000 pictures but I can't possibly post all of them so I picked some...
Which one are you thinking of? I love my Atlantis 2100XT, it's perfect for my application. Surprisingly quiet, too.
More pictures below. Let me know if you have any questions.

Got the Thule Atlantis 2100BXT to prepare for the summer. The 2100 is the biggest in the Atlantis series, and it's pretty cool :) I have about an inch of clearance from the rear gate when opened;...
Does anybody use the Thule Atlantis 2100 on their XC70's? Does it fit okay?
Thanks for your kind comments, everyone. I'll keep posting :)
No, it's stock. I used a telephoto lens, though.
Fantastic photos! Man, they make me want to visit Australia.
Spent the night there.... there are tons still to see. I'll go back there in the next few months to capture the autumn color.

Congrats and welcome!
My favorite "little feature" is the lights mounted underneath the side mirrors. This feature is truly useful at night when you go in and out of the vehicle. The designers of this vehicle really had...
How hard are they to DIY? The parts themselves for the 2002 V70XC is less than $100 for all four, but I was quoted $250 (total $350) for installation. To me that's absolutely nuts.
Can't believe how blue the sky is... wow. Thanks again for posting.
Had the dealer paint and install the rear spoiler. I've always wanted to install it but managed to put it off for 8 years... It costs a fortune but I love the look of it! Took these pictures in a...
Ocean_Racer,
This is absolutely spectacular. Judging from the antenna in the picture, you did not use the equatorial mount, which tells me that you have a very dark sky there. Even from Mt....
Awesome, can't wait to see the Milky Way from the southern hemisphere!
Went on a short trip to Vantage, Washington. Quite a contrast from green, blue, and white Mt. Rainier. The funny thing is that both Vantage and Mt. Rainier are exactly 2 hours from my house, but...
Went to Mt. Rainier for the spectacular view of Milky Way... almost hit a huge deer on the way back.
