Iowa Road Trip FL-IA

greywarden

I'll be driving from Crestview, FL to Grinnell, IA and @Bryan@MAC told me I should make a post to see if anyone wanted to tag along and carpool the way up and the way back. If you live anywhere near any of the cities that I *might* be stopping through, let me know and I can come pick you up, and drop you back off on my way back through.

Don't be worried, I've personally met the majority of the people that will be attending (I attended back in 2014) and I have a good driving record, a reliable vehicle (new alternator, new battery and run flat tires). Also I have a very good driving record, I have 10+ years professional driving experience and I've had as much or more training than most cops.

Here's the kicker -- there's only one working speaker in the car :0

Finally, here's my route(s):

PS - By carpool, I mean help with gas, too. (cash, grass or-- well, no thank you.)

That is a nice road trip... Take your time and drive safe.... 

Except for @kennyk (God of micro speakers) flying with speakers usually doesn't work out!

Bryan@MAC

Yay....glad you're going to join us again!  Hopefully you can pickup some company along the way.  16 hours is over twice my limit for driving solo anywhere.  Be safe and looking forward to seeing you again.

Man, wish I had time. Looks like you are coming through my area when you pass by STL.

It's a great drive through St. Charles and up hwy 61.  Mark Twain Brewing in Hannibal is one of our favorite stops.  Their King Arthur imperial IPA is very good.

Outstanding!  Looking forward to seeing you there!

Have a safe trip.  1048 miles has to be a driving record for Grinnell.  I remember Mike Jennings saying that he drove about 700 miles to Grinnell.

I'm no stranger to driving 1k miles. I've driven to Baltimore a few times to visit my bestie and that's like 18 hours start to finish. I'll be working till midnight Thursday night / Friday morning so I'll probably take off after work and take a nap at a rest stop if I get sleepy.

Yeah , no kidding . Be safe . Here's hoping for decent weather on the drive up.

I remember me and a friend driving back from chicago after 2 days of riding motocross and partying and getting home at 2:00 in the morning.
 Heavy drinking and hungover motocross racing is a great combo lol.

kennyk
