As some of you know I'm relocating to Illinois and attending the Freshwater Tour all in the same week.

Here are some of the pic's I took while driving to the tour.....and my new home!

Theres a lot of pics - 56K dial up users, let the page load! it will take a while but it worth it.

These pictures start when I left California on sun. May 30th, The last pic in this post was today when I arrived in Colfax Iowa June 2nd. The other half will be posted after the Freshwater Tour.

Most were taken while I was in the car, please excuse the insect splatters on the windshield if you see them!

Enjoy! Most owners will never get to do this in there S2000

I-15 leaving Las Vegas



Kinda far away, but in the distance is the Arizona welcome sign



I only went through a few miles through AZ. before I hit the Utah welcome sign

 

My car at a gas stop in St. George Utah



Looking west from I-15 in Southern Utah



I-15 nearing I-70 in Southern Utah

 

Driving east from the beginning of I-70



This is a fast Interstate - Average speeds are 80Mph due to the lack of traffic



Lots of long sweeping curves, perfect for a roadster.



All of a sudden you drop from 8000 Ft. Elevation to a painted desert in less than 5 minutes...

 

More beautiful desert.



Temp was 80 degrees and dry outside.



Awesome views -It's too bad such beautiful places are so far from where we live.



Nearing the Utah / Colorado border - still 100 miles of scenery to go.

 

The picture say's it all



Stopping for a break in Glenwood Canyon Co.



Getting late in the afternoon.



Almost dark. This picture was taken in Eagle Colorado (Kobe Country nowdays )



Good Morning Vail! Begin day three of my journey!

 

Good Morning Vail! Begin day three of my journey!



From the McDonald's parking lot in West Vail Co. looking west



I-70 Leaving Vail Co.



Ditto



Heading up the grade towards Vail summit

 

Just passing Vail summit 10,800 Ft. elevation



Still going downhill! and Fast!



Passing Copper mountain area



Heading back up in elevation, this pic is right before the Eisenhower tunnel, the highest tunnel in North America and I forgot to take a picture of the tunnel!

 

Between the last picture and this one there wasnt much to see, only Denver (which looks like L.A.) and a bunch of flat prairie as far as the eye can see



Kind of hard to see but thats the "Welcome to Kansas" sign



This pic sums up most of Kansas! it all looks the same - Until you get off the interstate....



Wizard of OZ Museum in Wamego - This is where the scenery gets better and better



These long and winding roads were a lot of fun in a convertable. Lots of scenery and not crowded



Then there is the occasional break while sitting in traffic

 

Back to buisness!



Just when the scenery was getting better!



And the story ends here till I can post the rest of the pictures.



To be continued!

I should be in Il. tomorrow to sign for my new home, and then I'll post the rest of the pics from the trip to Chicago and the Freshwater Tour.
