Driving vs. Flying

[Gooch]

the only drive over 7 hours I will make is to the elite condo I use in dillon co to snowboard.

Tough decision dude. And I drive through Wall Drug every time. Imagine having to drive through eastern south dakota with nothing to offer except a wall-drug sign every 2 seconds.

Sopunds like SWKS and rough ridin' ALCOs

QFT.  By the time you drive to an airport, get through security,  fly to Denver, rent a car, and drive to Dillon you may as well just drive.

It takes you over 7 hours to stumble through security and take an hour flight to Denver?  Honestly not shocked at this.

Depends on where you live.  If you have to drive a couple of hours to reach an airport, security, rent a car, then drive to Dillon...  When I lived in Aspen, it was very time/cost effective to drive back to Wichita.  Especially if it was a last minute decision to come back to Wichita for a weekend or something...

Took a train fro Denver to Glenwood Springs once.  Once.  What would have been like a 2.5 hour drive was a 7 hour train ride.  Way too many stops.

From the Springs to Manhattan, I always drive. Anything longer and I would reconsider. For example, I drove to Yellowstone. 12 hours. That was hell.

I like drives like that though.   At least there is some decent scenery.

i would like to try that drive on a motorcycle doing a wheelie.  i wonder if I could make it all of the way and back.  would be hard but good challenge.

Guess that would be fun, if you wanted everyone to call you a pussy.  The man's way to ride it would be to ride an endo, the entire time.

[pissclams]

Probably be better to do a wheelie out there and an endo on the way back, prove that you can do both and aren't a total puss.

Prob. a good idea.  Shows you're well rounded and not some one trick pony.

There's no scenery until an hour outside of it. Wyoming is a desolate crap hole with nothing in it.

driving through areas with low population densities is fun.  liberating, relaxing.

Not when you have to take a crap.

rather crap in crowded, nasty truckstop bathroom surrounded by sweaty, nasty men than alone in the great outdoors  with the wind whipping through hair and pipe in mouth.

looks like we found another squawk.  jayehawk2x4-7
