BeeBee's Build Journey

[J.Ferreira]

So far this is our route, with a rough estimate of how far we've traveled so far.

​

We'll be in Moab until tomorrow morning, and then start the return home tomorrow with a big push..... we are unlikely to make the return in one day, but I think the goal is to make it to Seattle or as close to as possible. We may even end up driving through the night, but I'm not too sure on that.

My pictures haven't gotten around to syncing with my computer, so I can't quite properly update everything from Uwharrie, other than to say we stopped at a place called D'Lo water park (for any of ya'll who've seen Oh Brother Where Art Thou?, this is where they shot the scene with the sirens) and made a fun stop there for Savannah Hel, the Southern Belle as it was home for her. She was very excited to be back home. From there it was just a lot of driving to get to Moab, with a quick stop at the Bonnie & Clyde Ambush Museum in Gibsland, LA as well as stopped at the site of their final ambush.

Arrived in Moab the night before last did a run on Fins & Things (remembered to properly check in this time so I can sen din for my badge), and then drove up to Porcupine Rim (thankfully there was no snow for me to get stuck in this time..... ). Not too sure about what we will do today, there was some discussion about doing a run on Hell's Revenge today, but I'm a little wary about doing it alone, and while my co-pilot could act as a spotter, she isn't super experienced with it, so it's probably best left for another day. This won't be my last trip down to Moab, and I'll be back. More pictures & videos from Uwharrie, D'lo, as well as Fins & Things to come (whenever my computer gets around to syncing them from my phone, as I'm not super keen on trying to upload them from my phone at the moment.

That's a lotta driving. Lotta places.
That's awesome.

With mileage like that in such a short time, you’ll be due to buy a new Jeep in no time! ? And, awesome trip btw!

Have you been keeping track of your avg mpg throughout the trip? ?

Have you been keeping track of your avg mpg throughout the trip? ?

I started a trip at the very beginning of the journey to track how far and what the fuel efficiency was throughout the trip. I forget what the avg fuel efficiency is for the trip, but we are at 11,000 kms & change right now.

However, I do know that we have seen fuel efficiency between 11.5L/100 kms & 15L/100 kms. We started off shit and then got better once the prairies were reached, and with running some trails and poking around moab, it's gone back up to 15L/100 kms.

(Look up the conversion for yourself)

? When driving in the US, you should report back to us in Mpgs, not Kpls.

Switch back when you cross back into Canadaland.

Iowa TA80!
I recognize that Willys.
I'm pretty sure I've even taken a picture of it too.

I found it. It's not a good picture.

It was fun checking out "the world's biggest truck stop". Pretty interesting place. Full food court, restaurant with a full buffet, barber shop, and a few other things in addition to your standard truck stop fare.

Massuesse, Chiropractor, I think there was a movie theater.
Place is absolutely wild.
Definitely stopped at some cool places along the way!

But I'm sure it's nice to be back home!
