A'ight boys, the St. Louis Thread got me to thinking, and you know only bad things happen when I start doing that.
Next weekend (6/14) I'll set out on a four-day journey to move my friend Robert from good ol' Hotlanta to Pocatello, Idaho (Go Bengals!). This precedes my own move to Tempe later in the summer, including multiple trips back and forth for his wedding, etc.. Add it all up and you'll see why I'm glad I just bought a Toyota Corolla.
But nevermind that sh.... here comes Mongo! And plus, we'll be taking an F-150 loaded with furniture on this road trip.
I plan on posting a trip report, (I guess in the Dynasty section, or I could do it here, whatever Ben allows :D ) but I need your help in finding fun things to do along the way. A few ground rules:
-Robert's Mormon (hence the witty title), so drinking, smoking, coffee, tea and other general debauchery is out of the question. That puts a real damper on my plans, but we'll make it work.
-We do have four days, but I'd guess anything that's more than a two hour drive away from our intended path is probably a no-go.
-I'm big into sports, national parks and historical sites, if that helps at all. I'm not bringing my bowling or golf equipment along, unfortunately.
So here's the metro areas we're going to be driving through, as I understand it:
Memphis
to
St. Louis
to
Topeka, KS
to
Lincoln, NE
to
Cheyenne, WY
to
Pocatello, ID.
I've probably missed other metro areas along that route, but hopefully that will give you a decent idea of where we're going. I've never been to any of these states (with the exception of Kansas and Tennessee) so I'm open to any suggestions you may have.
Stay tuned for the Move-A-Mormon saga...
