Any Duers going on road trips this summer?

[theivoryqueen]

if so, where to. I am thinking about joining or instigating a road trip - maybe to washington DC, or virginia. Never been to either. I am desperate to beat it out of the Texas heat. If any DUers in Texas have a hankering to head east by auto - let me know by PM.

1. In the fall: Knoxville, TN, to see my in-laws

Okay, so it's not the summer, but I'm so excited I had to post it anyway.

[theivoryqueen]

3. hey - at least you are getting out there!

fall or summer - here in texas it's all the same.... Hope you have a great time!

[girl gone mad]

2. I'm in TX, but...

I'm heading to the Grand Canyon sometime in late June or early July. I guess I can't get enough heat.

[theivoryqueen]

5. Well - I have never seen the grand canyon either...

but my brain is melting as it is. I do have a girl friend in Albuquerque who's been after me to visit her. I wonder what the summertime temps are there.

[Bertha Venation]

14. very very hot -- but dry

that, at least for me, makes it bearable. It's extremely humid in DC in the summer, so if it's humidity kicking your butt, you might want to rethink coming east.

[theivoryqueen]

16. I always wanted to see Virginia Beach

they have a massive sand sculpting contest, and I'd like to try my hand! Humidity is okay as long as it's under 85 degrees...

[Bertha Venation]

18. Won't be under 85, sweetie

But give it a shot anyway! :bounce:

4. I already took my long trip east.

I'd like to escape Texas for a bit myself, but I'll have to fly, as I can only afford a long weekend...

[theivoryqueen]

8. Dang - next time?

I am off work right now - seems like a good time to drive. If you get up to Dallas, let me know. I live downtown - lots to do around here.

[GOPisEvil]

13. Cool...I'll let you know next time I'm up that way.

I want to get to a Rangers game this year.

[theivoryqueen]

15. e-mail me when you come

It's noisy here - but there's crash space available.

[GOPisEvil]

17. Great! Once I get my house closed on and all moved in...

...then I'll look into a trip up there.

6. mebbie

who's askin?

[theivoryqueen]

10. me. I am looking for a politically compatible travel partner

or else I guess I'll go solo. hate to do that these days- am female, like to drive late at night, so it's not as safe as it used to be.

[democratreformed]

7. Just got back

Arkansas to Arizona - 1445 miles.

Not again. No thanks. Next time, I will fly!!!

[theivoryqueen]

11. let me guess - the worst part was Texas?

it's the longest, mostly ugliest part of that trip.

[democratreformed]

22. Actually, we went across I-40

So, Texas was the shortest state we passed through.

YUP YUP

Gone early in the morning, hit the gas station(ouch!), the beer store - and I'm gone!

First stop is the Little Jocko River, then wherever I feel like it.

For pictures, click on my eyes below, and look in any of my camping albums.

And yes

They are MY eyes

:silly:

[theivoryqueen]

12. nice eyes

[ConcernedCanuk]

26. tsk - tsk - you were peeking into my apartment?

.
.
._{shame on you}

Did you see ANY of the camping pictures?

:silly:

[Nay]

19. Don't come to VA to beat the heat. It'll kill ya here. And yes,

we are going to Montreal for two weeks in July.

[jonnyblitz]

20. you are going to DC and/or VA to beat the heat this summer?

LOL...thats like goin to Vegas to get away from gambling....

[theivoryqueen]

21. why - is it hotter than texas?

[terrya]

23. Toronto to be with Doug during Pride weekend and a week after that. eom

[aQuArius]

24. I LOVE road trips...

My last road trip in January was the absolute best EVER! I would love to go on another road trip this summer! ;)

[voice of reason]

25. Life is a road trip

I'll be doing a lot of logging/fire-road trips this summer in the Cascades with my dogs.

v.o.r.

27. X-Country - New York to Portland, Oregon

I'll make a drive this year to Oregon to see some law school friends out there. Along the way, South Dakota, Sturges, Badlands and Wall Drug.

[Awsi Dooger]

28. Cross-country to Saratoga, then Miami, before flying to Athens!

The first two are my typical summertime destinations the last few years, in a Trail Manor camper.

I'm an Olympics nut who is relentlessly saving for the Athens trip, eating $1 frozen pizzas every day and cutting back on my golf, to one round per week. Talk about sacrifice.
