Eastbound CA to NC

2016 Out West, California, Road Trip

The journey south along the coast is behind us and our eastbound journey is ahead. After several days of traveling twisty coastal roads and after studying the maps, we are opting for interstate travel for smoother grades and longer curves. We’re using overdrive and driving at less than the speed limit and our gas mileage is better than what we’ve achieved recently. We also opted for the northern route so we headed up I-15 to Barstow then to the western terminus of I-40, the major east west artery connecting California to North Carolina, the interstate nearest Tween Creeks.  Immediately we knew we were trekking back to base camp for we saw a sign advising that it’s 2,554 miles to Wilmington NC!

OUR VERY

LATEST

Imperial War Museum

Imperial War Museum

London’s Imperial War Museum in Southwark founded even as the First World War raged offers insights into the myriad costs of the wars of the 20th and 21st Centuries. It was a most disquieting but valuable reminder of the myriad costs of war.

London’s Canals

London’s Canals

The two of us have long been fascinated with the history of canals and their role in the history of transportation, industrialization, and more recently recreation. This stay in London has given us new opportunities to explore and learn more about how canals contributed to the growth of this great city and how they are being used and preserved today.

National Portrait Gallery

It was a most educational visit to the newly renovated National Portrait Gallery at Trafalgar Square in Central London. We were intrigued with the contemporary approach to presenting British History.
