Information about HOURCAR, car sharing and sustainable transportation in the Twin Cities and away. Kevin rescues the Fleet Coordinator in the aftermath of "Snowmageddon".

I took my fancy "steel core" shovel from home, thinking it would make for quicker work. As does the Armistice Day Blizzard. Of which any mention of sim...

Information about HOURCAR, car sharing and sustainable transportation in the Twin Cities and away. State Park of the week: C. R. Magney. The next state park takes us far up the North Shore, through Two Harbors, Lutsen and Grand Marais to Judge CR Magney State Park. Devil's Kettle isn't particularly close to the Twin Cities—plan on 5 hours if you don't hit any traffic—but it is one of the more unique spots in the state and well worth a visit.

In a year when gas prices topped $4.00 per gallon, the word of the year. Well, according to Wikipedia. Okay, but HOURCARs are all Priuses, so why hypermile? Well, two reasons:. 1 Hypermiling can significantly increase fuel economy even in Priuses. My record is 69.5 mpg over 58 miles. That's right, 60 miles on a gallon with gas to spare. During cold weather, mileage will suffer...

Information about HOURCAR, car sharing and sustainable transportation in the Twin Cities and away. State Park of the week: Tettegouche. For our second state park, we'll go a bit further afield from the Metro to the North Shore of Lake Superior. While the 66 Minnesota state parks are scattered pretty well throughout the state, the one road with the most parks is highway 61 from Duluth north to the Canadian border, with eight parks (and four smaller waysides) along the big lake. Which winds through the park.

http://hourcar.blogspot.com/2009/08/state-park-of-week-afton.html
Information about HOURCAR, car sharing and sustainable transportation in the Twin Cities and away. State Park of the week: Afton. We've been a bit remiss bringing your highlights of the state parks. Afton is close, its terrain is varied and scenery quite nice. As you drive. Through the gates (no need to stop with a daily rate HOURCAR) and down the road, you go from farmland to prairie to deep, green forest, and then back up to prairie. From the parking lot, there are miles of trails.
