Taking a road trip, meet some Pelicans?

[speeder]

Taking a drive from L.A. to MN. sometime in the next week or so, (depending on some factors beyond my control), thought I'd put it up here in case anyone wants me to do a quick stop and say hello. Most likely going through Vegas, up the 15 to the 70 east in Utah and over the Colorado Rockies via Vail pass. Then through Nebraska to Des Moines, Iowa, where I catch the 35 north to Mpls./St. Paul. I do this drive fairly often, (usually at least once a year), and never remember to notify this board. This time I remembered.

In Denver / Fort Collins, I am along the way. If you are swinging by and I am not on the road for work, I'll grab a beer with ya.

Will that route bring you anywhere near Atlanta?

You're simply not welcome here, Denis



You get close, call, my friend.

[speeder]

I wish I was coming your way, Paul and Randy. I'll work on that. Going to Mpls. and up to Lake Superior w/ my Dad, my brother and his wife + assorted other friends and rowdies.

BSiple, PM me your # and I'll call you if I'm in Denver at a decent hour. Make that I'll call you either way, and see you if I'm there at a decent hour. Thanks!

Will do Denis. Have you ever thought of going up into Wyoming, and catching 90, and taking it through SD, then going north on 35 from there?

I have done the 70 to Des Moines drive more than a couple of times, and one year drove up to 90, just to see something different.

Plus, then you can go to Wall Drug, everyone should go to Wall Drug at least once.

No worries, Denis...a little reminder via a cheap cell phone camera this weekend




Jack has grown a bit.




Come see us when you can.

Oh man, you have an MF lawn tractor..... I remember what all my friends called that brand when I was in college at Iowa State.....

[speeder]

Holy cow, he's growing like a weed!

That little tractor is the Unimog of lawn tractors.

Appreciate your concern, sir. I'm going to a god-awful place called Madeline Island up in Lake Superior where we own a little bar and some worthless land. Here are some pics from exactly 1 year ago:

Here is a bonus shot of the old man playing croquet w/ his buddies, and our very laid-back cheering section:

Denis,

How much for the white women in the pinkish sweater pretending to read something?

[speeder]

You would have to discuss that with her dad, he's the guy in the cowboy hat standing behind her.

Denis, you know where to find me. Probably a bit out of the way though. MN looks like fun, how's the fishing in that lake? I've always heard MN fishing is excellent.
