If you go to Jerry's, avoid the dinner rush hour on the weekends...because the lines get "impressive." Try a late lunch or a 4 pm dinner.

Yeah, Kansas can get dull, so go thru Minnesota and North Dakota and Wyoming instead. I've never met another person who thought this country was 'blech' for the most part. But, each to his own.

Salmonbait -- 'Name-calling'...the liberals' last resort. I don't like driving long distances.

The drive isn't bad if we break it up and spend the night in a motel somewhere, but driving straight through is not something we enjoy. I've had trips to Minnesota, the Dakotas, Wyoming and Montana, and there are plenty of beautiful places, but I've never felt the need to drive there to get to them when I can fly there and rent a car.

We then looped around through Montana and spent a few days at Coeur D'alene. That is another nice place. http://gfretwell.com/ftp/Idaho%20Wyo...ne%20Idaho.jpg We all saw beach volley ball on TV but they play in the mud in Idaho. http://gfretwell.com/ftp/Idaho%20Wyo...0Arco%20ID.jpg Some great shots. Don't know if I'd want to drag the trailer up that first road, but there's probably a campsite down below. Mud volleyball looks like it could be an interesting thing to watch, depending on the players. Did you rent the boat at Coeur D'alene? Where'd you pick up the stunning beauty?

That is why we pick a state or two and spend 2-3 weeks there. Things are far enough apart, even then. I love to travel by car when I have the time. Most people think of going from PA to FL as being on I-95, I don't. I don't know how many times I've made the trip on how many different routes. All of them very enjoyable to me. I've got a meeting in Philly coming up this fall. It's only for a few days and I won't have the time to go wandering before or after the meeting. Been to Philly many times; my dad was born there, and lived in Elkins Park. Later, the family moved to Massachusetts. Anyway, I'm sure I'll go up there and back on Amtrak. From you to Philly there isn't very much to see! |
Let's take a cruise, but only if we are constipated...

We like to see new places Can't find new places if you fly over top of them. You can't see them on the interstate at 80 on the ground either.
