Get to Ohio with my 1991 Ford Escort intact while seeing as much of the interior in 5-6 days as possible. Do not eat all the beef jerky on the first day.

Me: Our protagonist (or possibly antagonist).

Eric: A good friend I've known since I was 5. He's always been about a foot taller than me. Likes pork roasts, homemade beef jerky, and apparently donuts. Dislikes small cars like Ford Escorts.

• Day one: El Cerrito to Twin Falls, Idaho
• Do not eat all of the beef jerky
• Day two: Twin Falls to Yellowstone, Wyoming
• See Yellowstone
• Day three: Yellowstone to Rapid City, South Dakota
• See Yellowstone
• Day four: Rapid City to Waverly, Iowa
• See Mt Rushmore
• Drop off antiques at my cousin's
• Day five: Waverly, Iowa to Indianapolis, Indiana
• What the hell is there to do here?
• Day six: Indianapolis to Granville, Ohio

The 1991 Ford Escort LX with 1.9 L "SEFI" engine. You wouldn't believe the difference on the oil filter between the 1.8 and 1.9 L. Throughout the trip much mention of the "sefi" was done when overtaking other vehicles. I had been using it up in Bangor, California that summer, and it had run reliably on trips down i5 (it's not *the five* and stop calling it that socal).
