Heck yeah man, 61 miles...way too long for a cruise.

Cruise? I'm in.

NissanGuy23 · 12-23-2012, 10:16 PM

Wooooowwwwwww thats a long drive!

Thats my feedback

1.) Take pics
2.) Bring 100 hours of music, we will all chip in a make you a mix tape (8 volumes)
2a.) Or dont bring music and just listen to the aam short tails
3.) Long flat straights?

Drop by the Infantry Museum at Ft.Benning ...

Well worth the trip

Too bad you aren't returning a little further north, I could recommend beautiful country/parks in Utah and excellent mountain roads in Colorado.

Beale Street in Memphis would be a great lunch/dinner stop - cool music scene with tons of bars
Albuquerque you'll want to hit old town for lunch/dinner/quick tour and the Petroglyph National Mnmt for a short hike.
The Biosphere II in Tucson was entertaining as well.

Most of your trip you will be wishing we had German Autobahn rules (no speed limits where it makes sense)...

That does indeed sound epic!

shadoquad · 12-25-2012, 02:32 PM

Dude, this looks awesome. I eventually want to do something like this. I want to take 2-3 weeks off of work and drive from Ocean City, MD, to Sacramento, CA, all along Rte. 50, "The Loneliest Road in America".

eastwest2300 · 12-25-2012, 02:50 PM

Im gonna have to pass on that... I'd much rather fly. lol..

Looks so fun!

GrandZ45 · 12-25-2012, 04:11 PM

If time isn't a problem: Consider the Blue Ridge Parkway, then cut over from Bryson City to 28 and then 129 to pass by Fontana Lake. Come through Chattanooga, see the Lookout Mountain battlefield and other sights there. Then come south through Alabama.

GrandZ45 · 12-25-2012, 04:18 PM

If you must go through Mobile, consider cutting over to go to the Pensacola Naval Air Museum. Can get a bit of beach time while you are there. The Mississippi Gulf Coast as seen from I-10 is not interesting and the beach there is far inferior to that in Pensacola or even Gulf Shores, Alabama but there are casinos. If you are a Forest Gump fan you might want to spin down through Bayou LaBatre south of Mobile. Lots of good food in Baton Rouge!

You should consider driving further north on your return and hit up the bad lands. When are you planning on going on this trip Randy?
