[thefunkylama]

San Diego. See everything.

only white skinheads eat at Cracker Barrel

[SojuGorae]

WRONG


I love stopping by a Cracker Barrels during cross-country road trips even though I'm not a cracker ass cracker.

[ewiggy]

eggs in a basket, dude.

[J~$$$]

stay away from colorado.

PS. cracker barrels and waffle houses are strategically placed along the meth highway

[ewiggy]

i was actually thinking about going to alamosa, colorado to visit a friend.

but now i won't, because i hate you and your state.

[disgustipated]

While in Austin check out Barton Springs, Hamilton Pool, sculpture falls, twin falls. All natural swimming holes. Hamilton Pool is worth the entire drive... you might just stay.

If you stop at the Grand Canyon, go to the "transportation desk" at
Bright Angel Lodge and see if they have any cancellations at Phantom Ranch

That's a really great thing to do, or at least hike down South Kaibab
trail a couple miles.
Then there's always the Dia foundation's Lightning Fields by Walter de
Maria near Quemado New Mexico...definitely worth visiting sometime!
Bon Voyage.

i think i'm gonna leave the grand canyon experience for when my mom, brother and i can all go together. maybe in the fall when it's cooler out.

The weather is actually rather pleasant at the top. By winter it will be really cold.

[chrislasf]

Avoid Four Fucking Corners.

[ewiggy]

why's that?

[amyzzz]

Don't they have the Hanta virus or some shit at Four Corners? Yeah, stay away.

It is hot as balls and uninteresting. Unless you get off on bad Native American jewelry and hash marks etched into the desert floor.

i'm reviving this. can anyone recommend cheap but safe places for me to stay in New Orleans, Austin, and Phoenix?

keep in mind that i am female, and traveling by myself. i am considering the Austin Hostel, but i'm not sure yet.

[J~$$$]

You should come by my house and we can party with my bridge club....it usually turns into a drunken freestyle dance party in my living room.

El Paso is nothing but Mexico is right there.

WTF!

Ewiggy, El Paso isn't much but believe-you-me Juarez is a scary place these days. The drive from Austin to El Paso is a beast though, and I recommend you staying in El Paso. I'd be happy to tell you different things you can do here, if you do stay here. If you are just passing through here, then there is plenty of stuff in El Paso.

[Mr. Dylanja]

Come to Phoenix and watch your skin melt, seriously.

austin to phoenix is about 1,000 miles. i think i can do that in one day. maybe. most i've done before was about 850.

stop in tucson and stay a night at the congress. you'll be glad you did. you can have a few drinks the night before, then wake up and have a nice leisurely hangover breakfast either at the hotel or at the grill (eggs, pancakes, roasted potatoes, tabasco, juice, another drink, etc.) and then slowly ease yourself into the bland surburban hell that is the majority of phoenix.

this is good advice, i'm telling you.

Here's what you do. When you get to Austin, go to 4th Street (not 6th Street), west of the freeway, til you come to The Gingerman. Go in there, put $5 in the best jukebox on the planet, and have a few beers. They have like 250,000 different ones on tap. Srsly. Start a conversation, mention Okkervil River, and you'll be fine. srsly.
