McCarthy Travel Blog › entry 3 of 5 › view all entries

So finally a three day weekend and a trip. A two in one kind of road trip. One a Road Trip to McCarthy (750 miles in four days) and two the McCarthy Road itself, it a trip worth taking. That is if you like driving on a road placed on a railroad track bed that is 60 miles long and can take as long as 5 hours to drive. But there also my friends who live off the McCarthy road, with a 1.6 mile long drive-way that takes 30 minutes to drive (two beers and a cigar). all in all. A ROAD TRIP!!!

SMALL SMall small town parade, gotta love'em

my buddies drive way

I spend the night at my buddies place, Jack and Susan.  They are the ones with the drive way that is 1.6 miles long (two beers and a cigar as the misquitoes fly by).    I had my Ford Explorer rigged up to sleep in and was incredible pleasantly suprise how comfortable it was, even with a the light trickling through the windows. 

 

I had to leave Jack and Susan's place early cause I didn't want to miss the 4th of July parade (the 4th is a celebration of independence for the US, if ya didn't know).  You gotta love the small town parades.  The local businesses through together some fun floats and such.  That along with the egg toss cause me to hit the back of my rig for a nap.  Which was needed as it was gonna be a long night (whether I would remember it or not, but it's always nice to wake up where you are suppose, whether you remember getting back or not, is details that don't need to be known).
