THE PACK Message Boards

I am on my way out of the Army, and am taking the long road home. I will also be taking a long time, but I don't know exactly when the trip will start. So, if you live near the route, I would like to get to meet you, and maybe share a meal. If it's an overnight stop, I may be looking for a place to stay. Depending on how many folks and how many things I'm going to try to do in each city, I may stay for a day or two, or three.

I will be starting at Fort Riley, KS and driving to...
Colorado Springs, CO
Albequerque, NM
Phoenix, AZ
Los Angeles, CA
San Francisco, CA
I will stop in Portland, OR to move into my new home in a little place called Tigard, OR.

If you would like to meet me, there are a couple more questions for you. There is nothing wrong if all the answers are NO. It helps me figure out how the trip will go in advance. Also, even if you say YES, I might not feel comfortable going to your place (some members I know better than others). Please don't take offense if I turn down offered lodging or other goodwill.

If I am staying in town overnight or longer and don't already have a place to stay, may I stay at your place?
If my itinerary takes me to your area during Christmas or New Years (which is possible), are you available to meet?

Please let me know if you'd like to meet while I'm on the road, even if you live near the route. It'll be my last big road trip for awhile as I'll be sequestered in college next fall. Contact information, and the like will be traded by PM. I will post the tentative itinerary when I have it together.

Your friend,

Ahh, you didn't say when you were traveling.

I will be in Santa Cruz between around Christmas. Unfortunately, no crash space there. But I will be home before New Year's.

I will also be on a roadtrip to WashingtonDC in the latter part of January (guess what for? )

No point in offering you crash space here. You'd only have an hour to go, maybe two if it's snowing/icy/windy.

No matter. If we miss each other, it's only an hour.

c'mon by. stay in Los Angeles, the anus of america! I woulda offered a place in colorado springs but i moved away from there 5 months ago

.

What? No Florida? You dont want to see the nice beaches and women in swim suites and have cuban sandwiches?

I know, sounds crazy, doesn't it?

too bad you couldn't visit San Diego California.

Good move skipping over Vegas. If Matt's right about L.A. being the anus, that would make Vegas the gooch.

I'd have offered were I still living there, but I'm back in Massachusetts now, and I'm wagering that's a lot further out of the way than you'd intended. Glad to hear you made it safely out of the army; here's wishing you a safe and enjoyable trip home as well.

Thanks, Terastas. I think it'll be a memorable trip (for all the good reasons)... things are shaping up so far for an extended stay in Phoenix. I'm kinda surprised that most of the other cities aren't getting a whole lot of attention.

Sounds like a fun road trip. Takes lots of pictures and keep us updated.

Didn't know u were in the army???

It comes up in conversation every here and there. And yes. I'm done with the Army.
