Less than 1 mile from my house.

I agree with earlier comments that the 3.0i's are great cars; just got 17.5mpg out of mine in mostly city driving with a heavy right foot. Would love the European 3.0 Diesel/Manual gearbox combination though.

Weasel will become famous soon enough
I definitely recognize the New Orleans pics, even the run down Katrina rotted houses in the "less fortunate" neighborhood...

Once again, kudos out to MRBMWX5 for prodding me for the pics and then uploading them and pretty much in chronological order....I only wish I knew how to label each pic with a little narrative.....I'm clueless in using this Xoutpost format..

I took we took the trip because both of our jobs became victims of the economic down turn and we were just sitting around in a daze...

I hadn't been to the south or south west, Gulf or CA coast, so with the '01 X5 that I had just bought (not even 2 months before both our places of employment shut their doors), I decided to put the rubber to the road.

I never noticed you were from the Big Easy....I was floored by the Katrina devastation after seeing it up close and personal - even along the Galveston coast ......I talked to a few fellows at neighborhood gas stations in the Wards and the downtown trolley driver - my man Spike had it right.

I bought the new Panasonic Luminix DMC-ZS3 (over the Canon G-10) because this one comes with a 25mm - 300mm lens and can playback in HD-1080i mode among other goodies. For more info: Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS3 Digital Camera - Express Review - The Imaging Resource!

Ha-ha-ha! If it was a Mahogany colored X5, that was me! Santa Fe was beautiful! I just can't imagine it being snow covered(?) in the winter.....

The 'Old Spanish Trail' road out of Tucson was just beautiful......
The California coastal views should qualify for the 8th wonder of the world....
Montana was truly beautiful country......

And there were several more noteworthy stand outs all along the trip.....
