So even with the pile of crap going on in my life atm, I'm spending a last bit of time with my two good friends, the dynamic duo... Kris and Chris!

We will be driving with no destination or plan from August 5th to August 26th (when I will be in utica for college)

We will be leaving from Atlanta, GA and try and drive west. If anyone wants to hook up and hang out or knows of any cool (cheap) places to stay, or see. Please do share.

As much as I want to meet you.. AVOID EL PASO TX.. it has a bad habit of trapping people in its void..

If you decide to travel across TX, Stop off in San Antonio and see the river walk.

Lake Charles LA. has a cool Casino, pretty cheep, and it over looks a nice lake, Pirate Days there are a blast.

There are a ton of other things all along I10 and I20 to see and do. I just cant seem to recall any of them at the moment.

Atlanta sucks for traffic, so I will be in somewhat of a time constraint. However, if you could meet me there like Obie did, we could say "Hey ho" and next time we can plan on a longer stay.. (first visits are best done in small portions)
Would that work for you? Can you get to most any place in Atlanta with say, 30-60 minutes warning?

I was in Seattle and saw Tracer Bullet. Where were you then? :biggrin:

Oregon is so far that I willingly do it infrequently. I however will continue to post my destinations, and if you notice "Oregon" feel free to speak up :smile:

My phone contact list is growing monthly. :wink:

Will you make it to LA? If so, let me know. I'd like to meet another mapper in person.

This is Doc Glasses thread, so I am assuming you are talking "to" him. I however just went to L.A. twice this month. No one said "hey Orph" so I didn't press it. I post in my thread and leave it for privacy issues.

HEY! DrGlass (galls) come on by my place in West Plains, MO. It's in the southernmost region of central missouri. about 25 miles from arkansas. Gimme a call (PM for phone #) if you wanna stop by. There's rivers and caves and springs and lots of historical stuff, if you're interested in tourism stuff.
I tried sniffing coke, but the ice cubes kept getting stuck in my nose.

I want to make it to the Pacific coast so LA may work out. PM me with a place to meet and a phone # and dates/times your around.

and I just looked up west plains, small place, but looks like we could swing by.

I suppose we will just meet up, say hi, and see what happens. It is me, and two friends so I dont want to over stay the welcome or anything.

why dont you PM me with an adress of a place we can meet and a phone number where I can reach you, we have a very elastic plan so I can only give you a ball park figure of where and when we will be.

oh and Orph, monday isn't going to work out I have alot of weekday stuff to take care of not to mention I dont know my own phone number (since the move, and I dont know how thrilled my parents would be if some stranger called up the house... though that may not be much of a problem, I dont know, I'll try and figure something out)
