Roadtrip time

CanMan · Apr 3, 2007

Well, its about that time of year to hit the road for about 2 weeks before gas prices go way up.

Looking to take it out of state. Distance isnt too much of an issue.

What/where do you reccomend or suggest I go or see?

Im contimplating Yellowstone Nat'l Park or taking HWY 101 down to SoCal to visit the theme parks, but would like to hear some more cool places to visit.

If the GF quits being a b!tch, and goes, then we'll end up going through Canyonville, OR to see her family, which is just off I-5.

Im about 75% sure I will not be driving the Jeep, more and likley taking my '66 Chevelle instead, so off road places are probably out(Lame, I know).

So, where to go?

Glacier National Park in Montana

Springtime isn't the best time to run the coast. I rode down 101 on my bike a few years ago and all I saw was fog. Great roads and the view was great in late afternoon, but somewhat cold and windy. I think late summer/early fall might be a good time for hiway 101.

Thats good to know. Id hate to take it and be disappointed. I-5 is always another option, as I can stop in Bakersfield and visit family.

Actually, if you decide to go, you better hit up In N' Out, cause that Zips place is garbage.

Trust me, I will. Everyday.

I was about to head out after work last Friday to go to Redding, just to get like 10 Double Double's, and come back.

I was thinking about that one, but it might have to wait a few years. 40 hour drive to Juneau is a long drive.

Plus, Im kinda small to be in Alaska.

Johnson Valley... The Hammers.

Then if your junk is still running, Hit the Rubicon and Fordyce on your Way home.

Atownatheist · Apr 3, 2007

If your headin east, id say hit up Glacier National Park in Montana, or Priest Lake in Idaho. Both are beautiful places to spend a few nights.

Just so you know, the "Going to the Sun Road" in Glacier is normally snowed over until May. If you decide to go to Glacier, you might want to check the Nat'l Park Service web site on road conditions. Mike

Here's a link for up to date road conditions. HTH.
