Default Best we can do for now.

The wife and I spent last weekend in the local mountains. Elevation at 6800 ft and with our Golden Passport it was dry camping at $10 per night. I don't mind it a bit as its only about 35 minutes from home. We stayed 4 nights and went over to Big Bear Lake three times. There is water and with my solar and EU2000 we don't hurt for power. Gas for the total trip cost me about $75. The wife asked me how bad that was I said compared to driving and staying in a Motel plus food it was a bargain. So there ya go. Looks like we will be going mostly local most of the rest of this year.

I do have one good thing to happen and that is I was moved at work closer to home. I had been paying about $80 per week for gas to get there. Now I pick up a company truck less than a mile away. But I get to ride my restored 1976 Vespa scooter to work at 85 mpg. So for that I can say to the oil companies... I will be taking it along on trips to do the run arounds too. Every little bit helps I guess..
