its summertime, lots of roadtrips.
you need music that accentuates the ride, and also keeps you awake.
its been awhile for me -- but i was always a fan of Screaming blue Messiahs for driving music.
but for driving around town upstate, i usually have something like Nightmares on Wax or Kruder & dorfmeister, because its got a groove and the lyrics are almost non existent.
my favorite song for late night driving is Pale Green Ghosts by John Grant.
there are dozens of remixes and they all make it that much more spooky.
the song feels like its achieves its opening lyric:
"Back then I often found myself
Driving on the road at night,
And the radio was broadcasting the ocean."
listen to this song, and you'll wish you were driving
what do you find to be your best road trip music and why?
Cant just be your favorite music - has to be what makes driving more enjoyable
(especially at night)
Send help......and a storage unit. He kept the m'fer a secret. Maybe I should come home with a pair of $1000 shoes.

This dish has been making circles around their competition for centuries.
Birthday gift from Chris, @GGsister2:
Giadzy pasta, canned Italian tomatoes, tomato purée, olive oil, and a trio seasoned salts..
Well, I guess Chris is telling me to get cooking now that the kitchen is 90% done.
So…guess what I am cooking this weekend? First one to correctly guess the dish will win Gutter merch. Recipe may or may not use all ingredients shown.
Let’s see who knows their Italian food!
“Day 7”
Of the 2026 Cavalcade.
Note: ‘Mules’ or ‘Ana-Mules’ (animals) as my brother from another mother, Miguel, calls them.
- We were hearing Elk bugling all night last night. Now we know why the area is called ‘Elk Valley’.
- Of course the Black Tailed deer that crossed the road in front of us while driving back from the Grove of Giants.
- Last evening, a covey of 15-20 Quail ran through our campsite.
1292 miles
182 miles today, still almost 4 hours of seat time.
We left Crescent City around 11:00.
We stopped in Orick to get fuel and try to get some Butane cartridges for our single burner stove (coffee). We went to a Tractor Supply, after I checked the web to ensure they carried them.
Nope, the manager told me they quit carrying butane all together because the homeless steal them all. Target doesn’t carry them either, although we did finally find them at a local outdoors store.
We jumped off US101 and rode old US101, which is two lanes, was bypassed when they increased 101 into 4 lanes.
It’s now ...
