A Contribution to a Tribute

After reading a friend's tribute to his sweet car...that sounds so trivial, but I assure you, she was more than any regular car...

Here is my contribution to the memories that I am honored to have experienced with her and her dear companion, Brad.

A recipe for phenomenal road trips:
1 part: good transportation
12 parts: good tunes
1 part: Rand McNally
1 part: staple snacking food (ie - trail mix, dried fruit, MREs, rice and beans, or Cheetos)
0-4 parts: (variable depending on your desire and taste): good company
1 part: (optional - sometimes a necessity): some pretty sweet camping gear

Ruth and Victor (my now deceased vehicle), stopped to observe opening day of fishing - One Million? - what an amazing surprise...a highway lined with campers, tackle boxes, fishing poles, fire pits, bbqs, kids, old men, worms, cigarettes and alcohol.

Ruth passing by...

On the road again...

Classic. A riding lawn mower parked in a handicap spot. ha.
Ruth got a kick out of that one too.

Settling in...

A reflective sunset...

A common sight between two trusted companions...

Her door was always open...

A picture's worth a thousand words...
