Hey all
I'm taking a road trip with my friends when we're done work at the end of August.
Thing is, we aren't sure of a destination...
Ideas? Stories? Anything would be useful.
We're all 21, located in Southeast PA, and have one week free if that helps.
Canada.
Head out west: Colorado, Montana, the Dakotas, Wyoming, etc. A buddy and I used to take road trips for 2 weeks before every year in college. The best one we took was out west. The scenery was incredible (Mt. Rushmore, Pike's Peak, the Tetons, etc.) we went hunting (though I think the guy who let us borrow his rifles and equipment was a bit shady on the permits, etc.), horseback riding, went to a rodeo,etc. Plus the beer was cheap and the people were friendly. It was awesome.
I remember the first time we went, we turned onto I-80 (both from PA also) and I asked him where exactly we were going. His response, "F*** that."
yeah i'm leaning towards just hopping on 80 and driving
id like to hit a few breweries also, as my sister just suggested
thanks for the response
If you're from SE PA and only have a week, I'd hold off on the big trip out West. You'd burn two days each way just getting there and coming back. Here are some other ideas:
Work your way up the Atlantic seaboard from the Maryland beaches to New Jersey, NY metro area, Connecticut-Rhode Island, MA-Cape Cod and on into Maine. Getting hammered, taking some fishing trips, comparing notes, and general f-ing around ought to produce some good stories.
Or: Head north into the Adirondacks, the St. Lawrence River area, and then into southern Canada. Loop around Lake Ontario through Toronto, catch Niagara Falls and some place in the Finger Lakes region on the way back.
Or: Head to midwest and do the grand tour of Big 10 college towns: Columbus, Bloomington, Ann Arbor, Madison, etc. End up at Evanston (Northwestern) and catch a few sights in Chicago. Drink yourself silly in each stop--won't be too hard and should produce plenty of fun. If you are in shape, run each school's XC course while you are there, or a mile on their track.
Awesome suggestions. As a runner at PSU, i'd like that idea of hitting the Big 10 schools
but i think i like the atlantic seaboard idea the best. we fish every now and then and i've never been to south carolina and have been wanting to check it out
maybe start with a drive straight to myrtle beach and work our way north?
