Blue ridge et al

In case you hadn't gotten spammed to the effect or seen it
in other forums, my recount of the wandering journey to
Kentucky and environs earlier this month is in
_ http://techno-fandom.org/~hobbit/pix/ky07/
and includes a bunch of stuff about efficient Prius driving
in mountains and mid-speeds. Average across the three
tank-ups came out around 63, which I was pretty happy with
considering the terrain and circumstances!

Hobbit,
Thanks for the great read. I have spent some time on the Blue Ridge Parkway and Skyline drive and can relate to your experiences. I actually had Pizza with Andy and Betty Roberts at that same Pizza place. I miss Andy.

Re: Blue ridge et al

Very nice writeup, Hobbit. Rather than allowing coffee-less-ness to inconvenience you (and drive out of the way), why not put in a 110 vac inverter and take a coffee maker with you? You'll make lotsa new friends at campgrounds...

Hi Hobbit:

___Great write-up and pics! The overlook and dusk/dawn fast approaching pics with the Prius in the foreground were spectacular… along with the write-up describing them

___Good Luck

___Wayne
