It was the [b]experience[/b] that was priceless.

I would have gladly paid twice as much as it cost, as 2X not a lot is still not a lot.  :tu:

Yep... either one of those guys. My round trip Mileage was 2948 according to Yahoo Maps. So it's between Darth, Terry and Mav. :)

I did about 4000 miles total out to AtomFest and back - I drove the same route as Bruce outbound, but meandered around the South on the way back. I have about 16500 on the odometer at this point.

Guys, I'm not even close at 2,847.00 miles. But do I get any bonus points for nearly getting caught in a tornado? How about driving in sleet and snow?? Those have to be worth some kind of bonus.
How about running into some road debris and bending your suspension but still driving on.....200 bonus miles. Pulling out the piece of truck tire caught in your front suspension and ripping open your hand on the razor sharp steel belts...400 bonus miles.
I'm slowly catching up.....LOL LOL LOL

I come up with 4917 total according to google maps.

[b]Trip out[/b]
Day 1 - 445 - hillsboro to Ashland via the coast
Day 2 - 471 - Ashland to Yosemite
Day 3 - 503 - Yosemite to Bullhead city, not taking Tioga pass
Day 4 - 504 - Bullhead city to Albuquerque
Day 5 - 661 - Albuquerque to Hallett

[b]return trip[/b]
Day 1 - 661 - Hallett to Albuquerque
Day 2 - 867 - Albuquerque to Tulare
Day 3 - 805 - Tulare to Hillsboro

I'm sure Bolus will correct me if I'm wrong though.

Actual mileage travelled according to my car though is more like 5500 miles... but I don't think I did 600 miles on track and the two drives into Tulsa, and the side trips to gas and around Albuquerque, so I'm not sure what is causing the disparity  ???

As a matter of interest, I'd like to know who we think travelled the furthest to Atomfest in their Atom.

That's alright. I guaranty THAT won't be once I see the pics, unless you were magically transported to a alternate location where Hooters Girls were having a wet-t contest.

Go to:
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/products/windowsxp/default.mspx

Click PowerToys in the Bottom Right then PowerToys for Windows XP near the top, then 4 or 5 links up from the bottom right is the one for the exe file.

Here's the url (I don't know if it'll copy and work):

I know it will be once you've seen the pictures of those Oklahomah water buffalo!

Eric ring me up, it's not hard.

Those are coming Robbie. As soon as I can work out how to shrink them in size. Anyone offer me any advice coz I've got some cracking pics just sat there!
