Sounds like some pretty reasonable ground rules to me TB. Your SOH must be a saint to even allow us to have this shindig.

Thanks BB that is a generous offer and something to consider

Have a safe drive! Driven from almost coast to coast (2/3 the way started east of the great lakes and went all the way west)

Done it different ways through Canada (Both northern and southern routs), Through the USA.

I found it pretty draining but fun also. I woudl say drive a little stay a place of interest and then gow another dya or so along. The quickest trip I made was about 3.5 days.. but that was only stopping for about 4 hours in a hotel every night to get a few hours sleep and the most imprtant part a shower in the morning.

Drive safe and have fun! Should be an epic trip.

Are any dates confirmed yet? I need to book our flights back east, currently have a wedding August 6th but trying to figure out my schedule and how long we want to stay. My wife is interested into some of the American Revolution battle grounds as her relatives were very involved in the battles. One of her relatives married a Herkimer, actually I believe there is a county named for the family in New York.

not yet but I expect i will in a few days

Post by **thecroweater** » Wed Apr 20, 2016 8:11 pm

ok we got dates

, we would arrive on the 28th of July about 4:00 pm US EST at Dulles DC and be heading off on the 8 of Sept.

Post by **thecroweater** » Wed May 11, 2016 5:42 am

OK well it is the 28th seems Suzie has tentatively booked us in at some motel near Dulles airport for the first 2 days. We will spend a few days there looking about. I would think day one we will be resting then check things out, the Smithsonian is on my list and the monuments anything else you guys can think of around there we'll look into. Big Bob and MCH when would you guys likely be in DC, maybe we could to boomtowns and any other nearby places
@ Shineoncrazydiamond I will look into getting that way, if not you are welcome as is anyone else to catch up with us in DC if that's possible

I'm not sure yet where my travels will put me around that time, but if I'm out in DC, we could definitely do a pre-Butch meet. The museums and monuments are a great way to spend days in town. I like to walk through the Korean monument early dawn or last dusk, just before dark either way, preferably in the rain. It's quite moving. I think you guys will really enjoy your trip. I will be in touch as dates get closer.

Well just a day or so away now, turns out we are around DC a few more days than I anticipated so anyone in driving distance would like to catch up give us a holler . Dates are Arriving 28th and heading out on the second so we are out and about from the 29th to the 1st

Post by **Bushman** » Tue Jul 26, 2016 5:27 am

I fly in on the 4th will just miss you. I did give MCH my info and itinerary so if he thinks we can meet up some where that would be great.

Post by **thecroweater** » Tue Jul 26, 2016 7:14 am

Yeah looks like we might miss crossing paths by hrs . Its just that day we are leaving that evening to make our way to WV, so I think the next morning we will not be so far west of you but depending on your itinerary meeting might be tricky as we will be travelling southwest with some time constraints

Post by **Bushman** » Tue Jul 26, 2016 8:34 am

My wife has an all gal thing on the 5th the day before the wedding and not sure if I am dropping her off or how she is getting there.

P.M. Sent Mr. Crow.

It would be great to cross paths. Maybe I can be at truckorama in spirit if that happens! I've always wondered how my froot loops holds up against the big boys!

I might have just enough Froot Shine tucked away to compare.

That would be awesome!!!

10 hours til we hitch the mules and haul out of here started packing clothes and crap , damn though its cold

StillLearning1 · Post by **StillLearning1** » Tue Jul 26, 2016 8:36 pm

Don't worry about that cold crow. Heat index here has been 105+ all week.

Post by **thecroweater** » Tue Jul 26, 2016 8:44 pm

Wish I could bring my single malt and sliv over but I don't care to hazard the risk of being questioned, never travelled on a visa waiver before so not sure what to expect
