road trip
road tripWhat a long drive, Visiting family and 2 weddings.We drove up the I-5 and went to Prince George, Fraser Lake, Keolona down to victoria Island. From Vancouver the BC Fairy ride to the island was fun. cost for a car with 2 person was 69 bucks. not great because you have to pay that to get off the island. ;) We spent 2 night on the island. On our way south we went to Diamond lake Oregon and Creator Lake. There was alot of Snow left around creator Lake. Very nice and scenic. That was a very nice drive. We had so many bugs I went thru the entire windshield fluids(5.2L) and it didn't help much. I have to say the "rain'X" fluid didn't do very well. I think water would have worked just as well. I like the rain-x treatment for the glass, but their fluid is useless.
Oregon is abit strange in that you can't pump your own gas. I had a bad experience the first night driving up. Around midnight I we stopped at the shell gas station, and this half drunk lady went to my car and was leaning against it. dang. that's a no no. she couldn't figure out how to open the gas door on my car, so I just went and put the credit card in the station, then she got all rude and told I was doing her job and left. Wow. anyways, I just sat in car the next time I fill up if ever. on the way down I tried to gas up in washington right at the border so I would avoid oregon all together but that didn't work, because of the mountain roads I didn't want to chance being without gas. At the oregon / California borders we can see alot of smoke in over the mountains. Just entering California we drove thru 3 small but still live fires and saw firefighters busy at work. Kind of scary as we were not sure if the roads ahead of us where to be closed or open. It's nice to be back home after the 2 week road trip. We arived at home at 11:55pm friday night. Over all we drove 3568miles and my bmw 323i averaged 32.6 miles per gallon. The highest price gas was Canada, beating California by a bit Can't say exactly because of the exchange rate but it was over 5 bucks for premium.
