Donna,

Yes, it seems that you very lucky that the hurricane veered away from that section of the Florida coast.

Enjoying the report.

Unrelated to Buck's query -- at one time, we were going to create a pronouncing gazetteer on the web highlighting how geographic features are pronounced by the locals. One of my favorites is...

It is a tragic aftermath. Viewing some of the videos online posted by locals is pretty overwhelming.

George: Starting this thread is a good idea, we can continue to post road advisories here.
...

This is the explanation we are using on the Advanced Maps page. Does anyone have a verbiage suggestion?

Buck,

I had hoped that you would discover this. I had tried a few instances while testing the program and noticed this happens too. It's works best if the start and end distances are relatively...

Notwithstanding Buck's idea -- which we will give some thought to...

The Avoid options are in place.

I will write some explanatory text -- for use on the page, but I bet you will discover how...

The RTA site will be closed, so we can complete some new updates to the RTA Custom Mapping Program on Tuesday, October 1st between the hours of 9:00 pm PDT and 10:30 pm PDT.

If you're working on...

News in our progress

Tom will be adding three different "Avoidance" elements to the both the Map Wizard and Advanced Maps pages.

So a calculated route can be altered to show alternative routes...

mid-70's at the pass will certainly be melting that early snow!

Looks like we all betting on a November close this year. Time will tell.

Buck,

Could you please provide a bit more background on how this date was determined?

Just had to share this photo. This is the top of the TrailFest racing course on Mammoth Mountain. TrailFest is an annual running race. I am sure that there has been snow on the top of the mountain...

Fred,

There are dozens of roads between Dallas and Lubbock. The most direct would be I-20 to US Hwy 84.

Given the parameters of the rest of your trip. Is this to be a "speed run" or are you...

Just some news.

My brother, Dan, drove over Tioga Pass yesterday in a full-on snow storm. And there is considerable snow on the upper slopes of Yosemite today.

November 26th at 5pm (PST) is my first dart thrown in.

Dave: Thanks for getting this page set-up again!

You may recall, from the post made by xxx, (looking for that post) that a request was made to add some "avoidance code" that would enable a map user to select or create a route that would AVOID MAJOR...

I suspect that just about every seat will be sold well in advance of the race. I'd sort of like to go this year, but those ticket prices would stretch my sustainable budget beyond rationality, I am...

Did I write "food wood" someplace?

Somehow, I wasn't aware of this issue -- makes sense that it could be a vector. Makes me wonder where our firewood comes from -- there's not much that could be...

I had never thought of firewood as being vectors for disease and/or insect infestations. But, apparently this is a real concern.

Here is a site that lists firewood vendors by zip code, thus...

Plans for the F1 in Las Vegas are firing up for 2024.

Here is the latest interactive map of the race course.

I haven't checked the RTA Fall Foliage page to make sure it is fully current this year, but hoping that members post their photos from this year's fall "bloom" on this Forum Thread page.



But...

All of the posts above are from highly skilled, semi-pro road trippers, who could easily charge for their services. This web site has been providing the kind of detail you seek for FREE for more than...

Just wanted to share this incredible view of the Sierra Nevada range, taken from the Whitney Portal Camera.

Well, that is a big bummer. Sorry it hasn't been the fun you hoped for.

As SW Dave suggested, maybe things will turn around nicely in the days to come.

I realized that I had not made any updates to this post.

The RTA Travel service (hotels, car rental and flights) has been closed as of mid July.

An end to thirteen years of providing very good...
