    Any one else going around by ground this summer?

    Routing for my whole summer is developing but my first trip is Oklahoma to New York. My trip is on tour with a few bands but i'd love to meet up with people and touch the city.

    Tulsa (Yeti) 5/15
    Kansas City (Mini Bar) 5/16
    Chicago (Reggies) 5/18
    Cleveland (Grog Shop) 5/20
    Brooklyn (Aviv) 5/23

    Gunna see Enobrev in CHI. Monospaced don't be a punk see you in NY. (@___*)

    • Mad she's not stopping in your 3rd rate excuse for a city or just plain trolling? Hard to tell since you would never actually come to meet her in NYC.monospaced

    I'll bite as I just drove under 1800 miles this past weekend. (Mom got hitched in northern California!)

    I left Phoenix last Thursday afternoon and drove up to Las Vegas to pick up my brother (stayed there for the night... had a peaceful wander on the strip (yep, that is possible!)). Friday we then proceeded up the Extraterrestrial Highway (Nevada), past Area 51, past Mono Lake then further north till we got to Lake Tahoe then rolled west into California to Mom's (Placerville to be exact... where the gold rush officially started—yeehaa!). The wedding was Sunday... we left Monday, making sure to drive straight through Yosemite (popped in and out of the valley to remind ourselves how amazing that place is and then up and over Tioga Pass so we could stop and drool over the idea of a day-hike to the backside of Halfdome from the Olmsted Overlook). We then headed south being sure to stay to the west of Area 51 this time so we could officially say that we've looped the place. Slept Monday night in Vegas and drove home Tuesday Morning. Overall mileage was 1772 miles.

    Some pics:

    Somewhere in the middle of Nevada, not too far from Mono Lake

    Yikes... watch out for these guys in Nevada... free range cattle everywhere... dead all over the highway :(
