EXTRA POINT
Mrs. BGA and I took a Sunday drive yesterday into the White Mountains and she made the good point that given gas prices these days we probably would not have tooled around aimlessly if we didn't have an EV.

We made it a point to stick to paved roads. For most of the past two weeks I've traded cars with Mrs. BGA because for as economical as our Chevy Bolt is, having the battery pack under the car means it doesn't have great clearance, something that is critical in these parts during mud season. But even Mrs. BGA's car, which has all-wheel drive and excellent clearance, is no match for the road to my hiking trail right now. Or to the post office, for that matter. 

Today I'm going to leave the car in the garage and walk the 1.9 miles to my hiking trail to see how much progress the town road crew has made in its effort to make the road passable.

I can't take any credit for this, but Mrs. BGA's office-mate shared this photo of a car being pulled from the mud several towns over a few years back:


I'm sure the angle of the picture makes it look a lot worse than it is, but you get the point. For the record, we've been towed out of the mud twice over the years, both times with four-wheel cars. Once was by a true Vermont farmer who probably didn't mutter more than a half dozen words to us, and once after a phone call to Triple-A. (That's a story I'll share tomorrow.)
