Main3s Posted October 6, 2009 Report Share Posted October 6, 2009 (edited) Edit*** pics from trip http://www.columbusracing.com/forums/showthread.php?t=73479 Okay so I know I'm a little early but I'm pretty excited. I'll be going on an adventure at the end of October. ROAD TRIP!!! It started off because I just wanted to go on a road trip and friend of mine found something about the 50 highest mountain points in the US. So we mapped out the highest points on the east coast (or at least on our way) Going through KY, VA, TN, NC, SC, GA, AL, MIS, LOU. I'm pretty sure this is goanna be one of those once in a lifetime experiences too. We're goanna be on a tight budget and limited supply’s (by design) sleeping in cars, maybe meeting random people and crashing where ever. Instead of Harold & Kumar go to White Castle it will be Chris & Anthony go to Texas Hahaha. Here are some of our stops…. So who all has gone on an actual road trip before? I'm really excited about it, I'm 24 and have never done anything like this because of all my responsibilities (Owning a house, full & part time job, steady G/F) I feel like I'm 45 years old. So I told everyone to fuck off for a week and a half I’m gone! I’ll post all the pics I can when I get back, like I said, I know it’s early another 2 ½ weeks to go but I’m looking forward to it!

Akula Posted October 6, 2009 Report Share Posted October 6, 2009 I have done a few in my younger years. Don't take the freeway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Main3s Posted October 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2009 I have done a few in my younger years. Don't take the freeway. Nope, don't plant too. As long as it doesn't end in death I can't see how this can go bad, hahaha. We all have that 1 friend who can talk us into pushing our limits and Anthony is that friend to me. He's kind of the opposite of me. So I'm looking forward to just not giving a fuck for a while and having fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sully Posted October 6, 2009 Report Share Posted October 6, 2009 That's awesome dude. I am jealous of just being able to go on a road trip. I have way too much shit going on all the way through the end of the year. I sure wish I could tell everyone to shove it and leave me alone for a couple weeks. Hope you have a great trip. Definitely post pics when you get back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Main3s Posted October 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2009 We'll probably rent a full size car, maybe an new Impala or something, I don't know really. Something with a lil power and room. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wnaplay1647545503 Posted October 6, 2009 Report Share Posted October 6, 2009 Rent an suv. Borrow small camper. Stay in campsites, and parks(camping). You will have a blast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Main3s Posted October 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2009 I'm sure there will be camp sites along the way... not a bad idea. I hope the weather is decent. The views should be great with the fall weather, but the cold... well, I just hope it's not too bad but even if it is just adds to the adventure.

Rustlestiltskin Posted October 6, 2009 Report Share Posted October 6, 2009 Sounds like it'll be a blast as long as the weather holds up. You could cut down on costs if you camped out some nights. gl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87GT Posted October 6, 2009 Report Share Posted October 6, 2009 Road trips are always fun. I suggest camping like others have said. It is really easy to find campgrounds while traveling and it is cheap. Don't bitch about the cold it really isn't that bad in October and you can get sleeping bags that are made for cold weather. Once you camp in yellowstone where it becomes 30F at night at 70F at 7am then you can complain about the cold. Sleeping in hat, coat, gloves, and shoes ftl. :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Main3s Posted November 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2009 We slept in the car most of the time. Ended up driving my GTP since a one way rental was like $700.00 Only ended up spending about $250 on the trip $150 in gas the othe $100 on food & beer.
