Real Life Model 3 Road Trip: Day 13 The 101
We start our travels on the famous Highway 101 today! A winding highway up the entire west cost. We are going to do basically all of Oregon and Washington on this trip. There are not nearly as many Super Chargers on this route, and it can be pretty remote in areas, but we are very …
Real Life Model 3 Road Trip: Day 12 The Crater
Kathy almost cried when we crested the hill and saw the lake for the first time. I had never seen anything like it before. A very deep blue, the white of the snow, the sky. Very cool. But first we had to get there! We pack up early from the campground knowing we have a …
Real Life Model 3 Road Trip: Day 11 – Diamond Lake Campground
Back on the road, but barely. We only go 130 miles today and make it to Diamond Lake Campground. So far, it seems we only stay in either a Diamond Lake or Union Creek campground. Weird, but probably us. We start out kind of late, but head out but stop after about 3 hours. Bend …

Real Life Model 3 Road Trip: Day 5 – Starting the Oregon Trail
Today we make it to Oregon (hopefully). We have to traverse a lot of Idaho to get there and even then, we don’t really know how far into Oregon we can actually make it We are heading to Prineville (every bit as big as you are thinking). It does not have a Super Charger, so …
Real Life Model 3 Road Trip: Day 4 – Our own private Idaho
Today we go to Idaho. I have not been in Idaho in a long time. I have no expectations, so I cannot be disappointed. (I think). Our first goal is to make Salt Lake City. I like Salt Lake city because I Hang Glide and the first places that I learned to soar and stay …
