Each year, I do at least one "major" road trip to see places and meet family and friends. I hope to do some "weekend voyages" during 2010, but for now, I'm planning these drives....


** MC NATS, JUNE 2010 **

I'll travel to Richmond IN for the 25th Annual Monte Carlo Nationals:
http://www.montecarl...ionals_Page.htm



** NOR'EASTER TREK, AUG 2010 **

My "major" road trip is a drive to the northeast US. Plans for this trip are developing, but the tentative/skeletal itinerary is below. If you are interested in meeting up along the way, please advise me....


WED, AUG 4
...Illinois
...to Fort Wayne IN area
...to Detroit MI area

THU, AUG 5
...Detroit MI area
...to Akron OH area

FRI, AUG 6
...Akron OH area
...to Pennsylvania
...to Binghamton NY

SAT, AUG 7
...stay in Binghamton NY

SUN, AUG 8
...Binghamton NY
...to Boston MA area

MON, AUG 9
...explore area north of Boston MA

TUE, AUG 10
...Boston MA
...to Philadelphia PA
...to Neptune NJ area

WED, AUG 11

FRI, AUG 13

SUN, AUG 15

** 2011 ROAD TRIP **

With going northeast in 2010, that leaves the northwest section of the continental US to which I have yet to travel. So ... sometime in 2011 ... I will drive through Minnesota, the Dakotas and out west, maybe including Idaho, Washington and Oregon.

Awesome! Will be great to finally meet you.



* UPDATE *
I'm starting to look at routes to take for this road trip and should be able to post a possible path for the drive sometime soon.


In doing so, I've read about US Route 6 [another route I want to travel the length of ... "someday"] in Pennsylvania. If I have time, I'm thinking of taking one of 3 routes to "touch" US Route 6 across PA from Ohio to Binghamton NY...
...I-80 E ... PA 66 ... PA 321 ... US 6 E ... US 220 ... I-86 E
(or)
...I-79 N ... US 6 E ... US 220 ... I-86 E
(or)
...i-80 E ... PA 219 N ... US 6 E ... US 220 ... I-86 E

Thoughts on any of these possibilities?


After traveling Route 66 (September 2009), I really want to travel other routes, including US Route 6, US Route 20 (which cuts right through my home town), the Lincoln Highway, and others. Heck, I'd love to drive Route 66 again.... But, not enough vacation time right now...dangumit.

Thanks ... keeps me busy and out of trouble ... for the most part ;).

Seriously, though, if I ever canNOT drive ... I'll go absolutely nuts. I love road trips and seeing the US and meeting people along the way....



*

I'm still working details for my August trip ... more later. In the meantime, info about my "mini road trip" in June....



** JUNE 25-27, 2010 ... to RICHMOND IN **

I'll leave Thursday evening, June 24, or early Friday morning, June 25 ... to be in Richmond IN by late afternoon/early evening Friday, June 25.


To avoid the major road construction projects on most of the Chicagoland "expressways", I'll take one of these routes:

IL RT 47 S to SR 24 E to I-65 S, then around Indianapolis to I-70 E
...OR...
IL RT 47 S (or I-39 S) to I-74 E into Indianapolis, then around Indianapolis to I-70 E.


I'll be in Richmond IN from Friday afternoon/evening until after lunch on Sunday, returning home Sunday afternoon/evening....


If anyone is interested in meeting up along the way or convoying back'n'forth to the MC Nationals, let me know....

UPDATES....



** NOR'EASTER TREK, AUGUST 2010 **

I have an opportunity to travel Route 66 (Illinois, Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, California) again this year ... and I may take it. If I do, this August trip would be canceled.

HOWEVER ... right NOW ... I'm STILL geared up to travel to Indiana, Michigan, Ohio, New York, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Maryland, Virginia and Pennsylvania ... so, if you are planning to meet up along my road trip path, let me know ... and DO NOT change your plans!!!

I'll post more details in July....



** JUNE 25-27, 2010 ... to RICHMOND IN **

I will most-likely leave early Friday morning, June 25 ... to be in Richmond late afternoon, where I'll be until after lunch Sunday, June 27, returning home that afternoon/evening.

To avoid the major road construction projects on most of the Chicagoland "expressways", I'll take this route (reverse for heading home Sunday)...:
IL RT 47 S
I-74 E
S around Indianapolis
I-70 E

If you're interested in meeting up along the way or convoying back'n'forth, let me know....

That'd be cool. I'm not sure exactly what time I'll arrive at the hotel on Friday night, but you could certainly meet up with us there that night. I'll be meeting people from the NYMCC and then heading to a festival on Saturday with that group before heading farther east Sunday morning.....

Holy cow ... I was rather close to that place then when I was in Tally. Before heading back up north, I drove to De Funiak Springs to meet a friend from there.....

I'm baaaacckkk!! My Nor'Easter Trek road trip was AWESOME ... met up with great people along the way and had a blast. I just don't want to be back home.... Pictures will be posted soon....


Now ... time to plan my 2011 road trip via Route 66 and into the northwest United States.... And, I'm thinking about a mini road trip in mid September and a mini road trip to TN during Thanksgiving weekend....

MPG is actually a measure of how great a car is. The fewer MPG you're getting, the more fun you're having.

We were in Destin, FL at Eglin AFB for a while.


Holy cow ... I was rather close to that place then when I was in Tally. Before heading back up north, I drove to De Funiak Springs to meet a friend from there.....



Lol I used to go up to DeFuniak all the time to go camping. It's a great area and I can't wait to go back.
