Valentine’s Day is also the 13th birthday of the launch of RoadTripAmerica.com and the 5th anniversary of the launch of Living-Las-Vegas.com. Nice to know we are in good company for birthdays!
Today isn’t just Valentine’s Day, it’s also Oregon’s birthday, and a big one at that: 150 years. Just thought I’d mark the occasion with one or two photos from my trip of 2007.

I receive scores of travel books and magazines every month, but there is one periodical that I hoard with guilty pleasure…. No, get your mind back on track… I’m talking serious road trip fun. I was a charter subscriber to the Overland Journal and it continues to enrich and enhance my life. I don’t receive any form of remuneration of any kind for promoting this magazine — but I love reading it and everyone I have ever given a copy to shares my appreciation for a product that is extraordinarily well done. Click here for the newest information about the amazing trips and gear that they document.
Just returned from a trip for the warmth from wintery Chicago to the Florida Panhandle, Panama City Beach, specifically.
We have found the Golden Corral restaurant chain to be an excellent value. How they are able to put food like that out for that price, about $7.99 for lunch and $9.99 for dinner, is beyond me. Dinner includes shrimp, items from their Applewood Grill, and steak cooked the way you like.
Lunch has miniburgers, fish, meatloaf and other items. Salads are excellent with several choices. And, the dessert area is something else!
We’ve been going to Golden Corrals, which are often located right alongside interstates, for the last several years since we discovered them. You can eat really well!
So, on the road, I highly recommend Golden Corral.

My better half would divorce me and/or leave me in a hot second if I ever acquired one of these beauties… But, I love the creativity of some of these trucks. Built by Chris Walker and George Stickler, owners of Southeast Utilities, — these bad boys are mostly built on a Ford 650 chassis although they do build on Freightliner and GMC super chassis. The company, creates about 50 super trucks a year on a custom-order basis — Scroll down through this page and check out the “Outback” model!
