Welcome
We, The One Tank Gang, are a group of friends. Yes, money is tight and gas prices are high. CNN's "One Tank Trips in Five States" inspired us to gather our resources, pack a picnic lunch, climb into one of our automobiles and get the h-e-double-hockey sticks out of town now and again.

Art In Public Places-Part 1
We were floored to find that one of the best open air, public art display is right here in Southern California. Art in Public Places in Brea takes several days to enjoy. It will take several posts for upload the photos we took on one day. Enjoy!

Boron or bust…..where is Boron?
We were on a hunt for UFOs, Fossils, Petroglyphs and…uh…zombies?
Well, we did not exactly go to Boron. We were “primitive” camping right about here…
Please visit Wounded Warrior Project and USO’s Families of the Fallen Support.

Who’s driving? Don’t touch my mirrors!
We rotate driving on many of our One Tank Gang trips , especially the trips where we stretch the limit of the tank!
Naturally, each driver needs to adjust the mirrors. seat and steering wheel. If you find yourself in need of adjusting the mirrors. CarTalk has a neat cheat sheet.

Corvette Diner and Cabrillo Monument
Sorry for the delay! The week was less than stellar.
Date: Saturday, April 28, 2012
Starting Point: Riverside County, California
Destination: Carlsbad, Corvette Diner, Cabrillo Monument.
Total Miles: 224 miles (round trip)
Attendees: DarDar , Anthony, Andrea, Howard, Jeanette, Jenny, Caleb, Heather
Lesson learned:
First, charge the camera batteries the night before. Even with recent advancements, phone cameras do not do as well as a real camera. Second, beware of poles in the background. Thanks to the sun, I did not see the pole next to the light house. Sorry, Anthony, the pole is growing out of your head….
The Game
We played “Famous Fifties Faces” on our long drive.
We had to name the person and one thing that person was famous for. I am not certain what was funnier: the game or Dar’s interpretation of what people were famous for.
Here are a few of our faces. How may can you name?
The Best Food
Dar’s “Brown Cow Float”. Hands down.
The Best of the Best :The GANG!

No Reservations….
At the risk of sounding like a cable food show, our next adventure will involve NO RESERVATONS.
Tomorrow, we are heading south, picking up OneTank Gang members along the way. Eventually, we will end up in line at the Corvette Diner in San Diego. You, guessed it. NO RESERVATIONS. We will play trivia games as we wait.
Who will will the 1950’s trivia game? Dunno! Since all of the OneTank Gang were not even twinkles in our parent’s eyes in the 1950’s.
