glad1 179 Posted May 3, 2022 Share Posted May 3, 2022 In the next day I'm heading out on a nearly week long-road trip. I have to be halfway across the country for work the beginning of next week, but I thought I'd take several days to explore the scenery. I expect most of it will be natures, but I guarantee some of it is to be man-made. 😉 I'll be spending long hours behind the wheel and staying well-hydrated (I figure about four liters or so a day). I'm sure I'll be making plenty of stops along the way. I'm driving from halfway down Florida along the coast to the Carolinas, then turn inland to cross the mountains on my way to the plains of the Upper Midwest. There will be plenty of beaches, forests and fields along the way. I'll be dropping by here from time to time, hopefully to give you reports of my... progress. If you have any recommendations on what you'd like to see, by all means please let me know. Bobbsind, Derpysquid and Syre5 2 1 Quote Link to comment
glad1 179 Posted May 4, 2022 Author Share Posted May 4, 2022 The fist day of my trip was good, though not spectacular. Of course, it didn't help the cause that I was mostly on highways. But, what did happen was that I must have been drinking more than I thought, as I got desperate far more quickly than I planned. I'd hoped to hold as longs as I could and enjoy an hour or two pleasantly full, but I guess nature had other plans. The first time it happened, I didn't even have time to pull over or even grab the empty cup on the console, before I soaked my shorts. Good thing they're quick drying. At my next stop I spilled a little water from my bottle on them and they're practically good as new. After that, my bladder kept regularly demanding attention. So, I did pull over a few times to enjoy the scenery. I suppose the best moment was right after sunset when I stopped on the side of a country road. A new moon in the dusk on one side and for a good 20 seconds a silvery arc on the other, making a mirror image of the crescent. But, I guess nobody caught the view but me. Now, I'm about to head off on another adventurous day. I'll be in the mountains much of the time, so I likely won't have reception. But, I'm sure I'll see many waterfalls and streams. Yeah, the sound of running has that effect on me.... Gotto go now. Spectator9, Derpysquid and WaterSpirit 3 Quote Link to comment
GreenChile 828 Posted May 4, 2022 Share Posted May 4, 2022 Ah, road trips and full bladders are the best. You can play the best bladder hold games like not using the bathroom until you need gas, or you can only pee once in a state in the toilet, so you have to hold until the very last possible second. Fun times, have fun, be safe. Drink lots and LOTS of water! glad1 and Spectator9 2 Quote Link to comment

I like listening to my music playlists on long road trips. And of course peeing at the side of the road*. It's almost a bummer when I make it to a rest stop. Spoiler *in the woods on the side of the road. Where no passing cars can see me. Quote Link to comment

I frequently drive by them knowing there's no way I'll get to the next one without wetting myself. Ms. Tito 1 Quote Link to comment
glad1 179 Posted May 7, 2022 Author Share Posted May 7, 2022 They say all good things must come to an end and my road trip was no exception. I wished I could have stretched things out longer, but all in all it was a most full-filling one. A few stories and maybe a few pictures later. GreenChile 1 Quote Link to comment

Well, look forward to your next road trip adventure, I'm sure it's coming soon. Don't you want to take a loooooooooooong drive across Texas? Or up the coast of California to Vancouver? Lots of open road, and nowhere to pee 😉 lol Quote Link to comment
glad1 179 Posted June 20, 2022 Author Share Posted June 20, 2022 I'm back on the road again tomorrow. Two or three days behind the wheel and who knows how many stops. My car's tank goes from full to empty in about 6 to 8 hours. Unless I'm not drinking much, my own goes from empty to full in about half that time. Quote Link to comment
