slug bug....

honk honk... went the semi truck as my daughter pumped her fist out her window yelling and laughing at the truck driver to honk his horn on our way down from glenwood springs... (75% honk rate from eisenhower tunnel to home)

man... i remember all of the little games that you play when you are a passenger on a road trip greater than say... a few miles ;)

moon said truck driver if he does not

so... what are some of the memories and games that you played on road trips.

for the drivers... i think it is a guy thing... but 'the game' is something i look forward to when i go for any drive over 50 miles. 'the game' for me.. includes

get at least 2-3 cars 'in' the game

one car leads for at least 2 exits or about 5 miles

lead car drops to the back... letting the other cars lead for their alloted exits/miles

all cars run in the left lane (unless you have to drive right) and move in a pack

cars go at least 5 mph faster than posted speed limit.. or a bit faster than the normal flow of traffic

'the game' seems to amuse my wife... but i once had the best game ever on a trip out to california... basically hooked up with a car in green river, ut... and ran 'the game' to las vegas... it was sweet. there were some asyncronous gas ups.. but we paced each other for most of the time... note that this was between the hours of ~10pm -> 4am. we made it to aneheim in 13 hrs. the kids fell asleep in the car.. and woke up at disneyland. (average speed ended up being 74mph from denver to anaheim).. i guess that is one benefit of driving through the night
