+ my Route 66 trip, September 2009

This year ... I'm finally heading "solo" to the northwest US, starting with stops in PA and along parts of Route 66 ... a LONG haul in ~2 weeks!

If you're interested in meeting up along the way, please let me know ... it is always cool to meet new people and see old friends.

My regrets include...

...no time to stop at RT 66 places in Arizona & southern California, and

...not enough time to spend in the northwest US.

HOWEVER:

I can always return to those and other areas in future years ... and I have great memories of the northwest US during family road trips in 1985 and 1991 (3 pics below)....

"Take a turn off from the highway" __ Jayne Denham __ 'Road To Our Town'

Have fun with Seattle/Portland, lots of interesting things to see there!

Take a tour of the Boeing facility @ Everett if you have time.

Edited March 11, 201115 yr by vonVeezelsnider

Thanks, von! It should be a whole lot of fun. Not sure, though, if I'll have time to stop at Boeing ... never know though!

***

Yes, this trip is a lot of driving in a short amount of time...

...Washington

...Oregon

...Idaho

...the Dakotas

...Minnesota, etc.,

...starting w/stops in PA and along parts of Route 66 (Joliet IL, Tulsa OK, Oklahoma City OK, Wichita KS, Dallas TX)...

...all between June 24 and July 11 ... but I wouldn't have it any other way, necessarily!

I created an EVENT on Facebook for this:

https://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=181516568561106

QUICK UPDATES (revised itinerary soon)

* I now have a place to stay in Seattle ... @ Arsin's.

* In Seattle, Arsin will have a BBQ for FGMCCers who want to meet up while I'm in the area. Should be good food and a great time!

* I also plan to visit....

...Adam, GMI, Pittsburgh PA, breakfast 06/26/2011

"There was something in the country that he said he couldn't leave" __ John Denver & Emmylou Harris __ 'Wild Montana Skies'

Pittsburgh would be doable for me, but you have to remind me.

I'll be at the All-GM Nationals in Carlisle, PA on Saturday, June 25. Maybe we'll have to meet up! Find out who else is going to be there and have a C&G Luncheon

Pittsburgh would be doable for me, but you have to remind me.

Ah, that'd be cool, Cory! You want to meet up for breakfast ... or late night at Drew's when I get to town Saturday night/early Sunday morning?

I'll be at the All-GM Nationals in Carlisle, PA on Saturday, June 25. Maybe we'll have to meet up! Find out who else is going to be there and have a C&G Luncheon

Roger ... that sounds good. Would be awesome to finally meet you. BUT ... I won't be to the GM nationals until ~5p, leaving ~8p. So, perhaps we could just plan to meet somewhere there...? Plenty of time to figure it out. I know I'll be meeting up with a few other groups that I know will be there, too.

SPARKS

Why do I take at least one major road trip every year? This explains one reason:

http://whenthegoingisgood.com/2011/04/15/sparks-that-tie/

JUNE/JULY 2011, NORTHWEST ... QUICK UPDATES #2

* In Ohio/Indiana, I may alter the route to take US 224 W at VanWert OH and US 24 W into Huntington IN.

* In the Dallas TX area, Kelly is planning a BBQ, Wednesday, 06/30/2011 ... details TBD.

* Depending on time, I MAY stop along or take portions of the Lincoln Highway between...

...Pittsburgh PA and Indiana

...Denver CO and Salt Lake City UT

...Salt Lake City UT and Reno NV

* In Twin Falls ID, I may stop at the Ice Caves and Shoshone Falls.

* In Bloomington MN, one of my cousins is hosting a Swimming Party, Sunday, 07/10/2011, starting ~6p. ALL are invited. If you want to join us, please advise me; I'll give you the address privately.

If your going to be in Columbus, I can buy you lunch...!

That sounds good, though I'll be about an hour and a half north of you, I think, in the Akron OH area. BUT, I'm looking into the possibility of swinging south on my way to Pontiac IL from Pittsburgh PA on Sunday....

Thought I'd have additional info now, but not yet. Later this month, I should have a revised itinerary ready to post....

I sure hope to meet many of you along the way this year; I'll be driving enough miles to do so!

After a frustrating/nerve-wracking week (death of a good friend and dealing with my primary care doctor and cardiologist), this road trip IS A GO!

The CT Scan (heart/chest) ordered by my cardiologist CAN wait until July, AFTER my road trip! The test (for which I have to take pre-meds due to my kidney issues) was originally scheduled for October, but after my EGD on June 3, this was moved to "ASAP" status..... My May 2011 cardiology checkup revealed I have an enlarged heart and am now pacemaker dependent...along with issues starting to develop with my pig's valve (installed January 6, 2003)....

I hope to see MANY of you along the way. The best way to reach me now (since I do not know when I'll have online access during the trip) is my cell phone ... call or text (preferably CALL)...:

337-

My rental is a black 2011 DODGE CHARGER!!!
