AlexCrowley 0 #52 January 12, 2006 purely road? New York - Toronto - detroit - cheyenne, WY - Boulder, CO - Paris, IL - Denver, CO - Boston, MA Excluding the first leg, the second was done in about a month I think. It's all a bit of a blur because before that I had flown back and forth between lots of timezones for about 5 months. TV's got them images, TV's got them all, nothing's shocking.

Viking 0 #54 January 12, 2006 Ok here is another i didn't think it would count but everyone else is posting there other trips. I drove from Quincy, IL To Kingman, AZ and back with my ex gf's dad to pick up her older brother and his broken car. So the second half we were hauling a loaded up car. Me her Dad and Brother just kept switching out, who ever wasn't driving was sleeping. The trip was first mentioned the day we left. and we drove it in his Chevy 3/4 ton farm truck!!!! Atleast it had a bench in the backseat so one of us could sleep laying down.

BillyVance 34 #57 January 12, 2006 Quote 3800 miles towing a u-haul with a pissed of cat in the truck with me. That sucks! My brother when he moved to CA from TX, took his cat along for the trip. He almost stopped to throw him out once because he was yowling almost the whole way! I've done it on 8-12 hour trips, but my cats are good. They yowl for the first 30 minutes then settle down. One time though, I locked myself out of the car with two cats inside at a gas station. Had to call a locksmith. Thankfully it wasn't too hot outside.

psipike02 0 #62 January 12, 2006 My longest trip was 2 years ago. Me and 20 of my fraternity brothers in 2 minivans drove from michigan to kansas city to pick up another guy and then onward to Pasadena California to see Michigan in the Rose Bowl against USC. A long ass trip, but I'd definately do it again.....Puttin' some stank on it. ----Hellfish #707---- Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Viking 0 #63 January 12, 2006 what what could be cooler is if all the magnets were the same scale and would actually fit together lol! Hey there is an idea for a company. Make a series of magnets of the same scale for every state and sell them to shops all over the country and advertise them as a set that you can collect and put together. Also make special editions for the same state so people have a choise of what magnet to get.I swear you must have footprints on the back of your helmet - chicagoskydiver My God has a bigger dick than your god -George Carlin Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I prefer the interesting magnets I have. Right now I have them on my fridge in the shape of the US. I plan to get a map and mount it on metal eventually, but haven't done it yet.

Those already exist and you can always get them at the stores right on the border.

Lindercles 0 #66 January 12, 2006 There is something similar to that out there, except instead of magnets they're stickers. And instead of having to buy them seperately you just buy them all at the same time and I guess you're on the honor system. Next time you see an RV on the highway, check out the side, it might just have one of those maps. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
flygirl1 0 #67 January 12, 2006 Last January I got the snowboarding edition of monopoly from a good friend of mine. After opening it up and seeing that there were a few resorts on there we hadn't been to we looked at each other and said so what are you doing next week? We ended up Driving from Santa Cruz CA to Tahoe CA, Salt Lake City UT, Yellow Stone WY, Big Sky MT, Seattle WA, Portland OR, Humboldt CA, and back to santa cruz. We spent 2 1/2 weeks on the road, went to 5 different ski resorts, and got to explore many new places we had never been to. It was a great tripFly like a girl Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
