road trip

[CRAZY-HORSE]

off on a nine day road trip/getaway tomorrow.
i will get on MD every now and then but im trying to avoid technology as much as possible whilst away.
fishing gear/clothes all packed in about ten minutes flat.
took me over an hour to decide what cds to pack for the trip and its a big decision for 7+ hrs each way...

narrowed the playlist down to eleven cds.
nothing too left field. five compilations, the rest classic albums in their own right.

the list:

AC/DC  -  back in black

David Bowie  -  best of bowie (2cd)

CCR  -  best of

Cold Chisel  -  chisel: the best of

Dire Straits  -  brothers in arms

Paul Kelly  -  greatest hits

Alanis Morissette  -  jagged little pill

Meatloaf  -  bat out of hell II

Pink Floyd  -  the final cut

Red Hot Chilli Peppers  -  greatest hits

Wings  -  band on the run

^A road trip sounds like a great idea - could use one of those myself. Safe travels CH - have fun.

[CRAZY-HORSE]

yup, thanks Ruby.
just need to get away from suburbia to 'find myself again' (for want of a better word)
plenty of hiking in the Gorge, bush and beach.
a touch of fishing and watching sunsets over the ocean.
clear pollution free skies for crystal clear views of the Milky Way,shooting stars,ISS,satellites etc etc.
but staying in a **** motel at night (still love the creature comforts of a bed and shower)

Safe trip Crazy Man - have a good time.

[CRAZY-HORSE]

Thanks J-man.
Made it just over halfway yesterday to where we would be staying overnight and had vehicle issues.
Needed new coils and spark plugs before we continued to our destination today.
Almost $700 later we continued our drive!!!
Good job they had the coils in town or we'd have been going nowhere.
1pm, we made it, around 25C/77F here upon arrival.
This is my idea of Heaven!
