Going across country

[Marlin]

Class of 1997, Wayne Highschool

As for going across 64, done. I will shoot down 71 and catch 64 then jump back on I70 west of St Louis. I will be heading across that way probably on the 10th. My brother wants to take my dad and I on a bourbon tour in KY on the 9th. Should make for a fun drive on the 10th...lol.

Itinerary summary for those near my route:
-4-5Aug, leave Norfolk, probably stop the night in Charleston, WV.
Hit either KY or OH on the 5th/6th. Meet up with Jamas for a quick chat!
-Be in the Dayton area on the 8th/9th
-10th head to KC, MO via I64...hopefully meet up with Y33TREKker for lunch!
-16th-Leave KC and head to Moab, meeting up with devinlea somewhere in KS along I70 for parts exchange and another VX meet (he will be VXless, but still part of the fam)
-17th in route to Moab, hopefully catch VXorado for some photos and chat!
-Arrive in Moab on the 18thish
-21st or 22nd leave Moab. Really want to do some rafting on the Colorado pending time, money and if we can board the dog somewhere.
Head up 84 through Salt Lake and up to 82 and then on to Bremerton/tacoma area.

This may end up being the coolest photo album/trip ever with the VX!

I will post up details as they come:
My cell is 6198699757 so you can shoot me a text or whatever as we go along.

I am not smart enough to figure out how to image the map on here from google, but here is the link for the entire route I will take:

...My brother wants to take my dad and I on a bourbon tour in KY on the 9th. Should make for a fun drive on the 10th...lol.

I've just made two road trips in the last two weeks with my brother from Western KY to the Cincinnati area on potential car buying trips. Both times on the way to CN, he's mentioned stopping on the way back to tour a distillery or two, but both times we've been driving back through too late in the day to be able to take the tour(s). Hopefully, you're schedule will work out better.

IIRC, it was on the Jim Beam tour where they offer two or three free samples, even of the REALLY old/good stuff, so if you go there, be sure to use your samples to try the high $$$ stuff.

I think this was designed to be a booze and cruise tour, my SIL is driving us. not sure where we are going, but I know it wasn't Jim Beam, it was one of those craft bourbon places. Not sure if I am going or not, I quit drinking a few years ago, and occasionally have a drink, and definitely peppermint schnapps when I am winter backpacking

Now THATs a road trip. Be sure to post plenty of pictures

Will do. It is just about as far as one can go across the US...lol. Short of Florida to WA.
