Let's get started with a free sound bite... from the 1964 TV flop My Mother, the Car

Ridiculous, right, but maybe that's the point. When you laugh the world laughs with you...right?
Hence our journey begins Monday 10 a.m. as we meander the 101 to our first destination...ca-ching...River Rock Casino, near Geyserville, California.


Like a current racing through us...we're ready to roll with the finest of wheels, our little blue Saturn aka Mickey Two with a full tank and the perf level of Penzoil 5/30 to achieve 40+ mpg complete with surf gear and single burner cook stove (you never know when there will be waves and the need for a hot cup of coffee!)

Macky the dog, as shown here with Daddy, Mama and June, will be bathed and brushed to a shiny obsidian color.  

June's nickname for this trip is Penzy for the perfect engine oil. Mine, Pirrelli Jones or PJ. Yes, Penzy and PJ aim to conquer casinos with glee and as many as we can afford! We aim to drink a martini each day at what time was that? Oh, yes, the same grade as our oil, 5/30!

So, thanks again for being part of our roadtrip to Oregon. We're in for lots of adventures, "you betcha" says Penzy. And lots of tips regarding the best casinos. And hopefully near the coast, PJ reporting on serious wave-ages. And we're totally open to suggestions you may have on where to go for a good taco, or the best place to enjoy one of My Mama's Cookies. On that note, drum roll please...roadtrip quote #1: Never take life seriously. Nobody gets out alive anyway!

So here's to luck! We'll keep you posted!
