Fantasy roadtrip thread

[Dugout DickStone]

I love the fact that LSOC started a thread about a "Fantasy roadtrip" an hour before he started the thread about how to stop a baby from crying.  Things must be golden in the LSOC homestead right about now.         

I love the fact that LSOC started a thread about a "Fantasy roadtrip" then he posts a trip that he's actually taken.  Should've titled this thread, "A cool trip I took once". 

Got me. 

So, I will amend

Vehicle:  Escalade, loaded but in an odd color, like goEMAW purple.  Or Silver cuz its G
Group:  Pete (if he can get away) SD, RD and Trim.  Slimz if he doesn't mind sitting in the luxuriouse third row seating
Bring along:  good scotch, cigars, tents, a duct taped cooler full of bundles of coke on top of bundles of $100 bills
Route:  start at the Keys, during spring training.  hit the games all over florida, head up the eastern board, over to Atlanta, dip through deep south to keep real.  head back north again through Tenn, then turn west on 70 and fly by seat.  Would hit Aspen in offseason, then down to great sand dunes, over to vegas then zion and bryce, then head north again.  Up to pugent sond then take PCH all the way to tijuana.*

Don't think you'll be making it to Cape Horn if you're riding your bike through Colombia. Would probably run into Pablo Escobar and either overdose on some great cocaine or be kidnapped, ransomed and murdered. Might want to bring a million dollars cash w/ you, just in case...

Plus lugging all that cash around would probably wear you out. I beg you would give up around Quito dead tired from carrying that extra Mil in cash around.

Hey idiots, ever heard of a one million dollar bill?

I've always dreamed of trying to drive from here to the Tierra Del Fuego....though I don't think that there is a route to do this.

This intrigued me...it looks like the biggest obstacle is the Darien Gap...sounds like a fascinating place.

The Moon.  Eating pie and drinking wine the whole time.  Would also probably be naked.

Be sure to bring some bannanas in case you run into some FARC Gorrillas

With money as no object, no road trip can hold a candle to island (or continent) hopping in something like this

Arrrrrgg, that seems like an awfully small boat for a money is no object purchase.

it is the best compromise between luxury and fishing.
Also would be easier than a giant mega yacht to get in and out of exotic ports of call when stopping to load up on food/booze/native girls
