It was a rainy night in February 2002 with the
possibility of turning to snow. I was driving back to Vermont from the Big
Apple hoping to make it before the snow hit. The mild winter that year was
letting me get the Miata out quite a bit considering no snow tires yet. I'd
just bought Green Destiny two months before. What a machine, more
like a body extension. Think and it happens. The Japanese say, "rider and
horse as one". It was true!I was tooling along northbound on Interstate
87 wondering how to come up with more reasons or excuses, depending on your
perspective, to get out and enjoy my 2001 Special Edition. It turns out to
be a comfortable long distance driver. Just putting on a few thousand miles
a year, babying it as so many do, was not going to cut it. I was hooked and
needed more, lots more. On snowy days when I couldn't take it out - I could
swear I heard it calling me from the garage. You see, I really am hooked,
big time!
Just then I passed a sign for Albany, the New York State Capitol. I had
my digital camera with me and thought "Wouldn't it be fun to visit each
state capital and get a picture of my wheels in front of each state house?".
Better yet, I would also be in each picture. I had a tripod - I could do
this starting right now. Hawaii might present a problem, but I'd worry about
that when it was the last state left
So, the photos of each State Capitol, the photos between, and stories
about them are the Green Destiny Capitol Project.
