[~LadyLemon~]

Well then, I'll be hitting Hawaii for you from July 21--August 7.

 

[MissVelvetDress_75]

for once another person on here has a travel schedule that beats mine.

 

[martha]

Yeah, but I only get to do this once a year.

 

[HelloAngel]

[Lilly]

I WANNA MEET MARTHA!!


pm me about those minneapolis dates!!


and why would you go to sturgis via north dakota? you can't actually get down to sturgis from north dakota unless you take horrific side highways. are you going on a motorcycle?

eh, anyway - like i said, pm me about minneapolis

 

[ouizy]

I also was going to ask you if you were going to be on a bike...

 

[martha]

No, I can't ride that far. My ass can't take it!

Minneapolis may be taken out. It just isn't working out time wise. I'm looking at maps and calendars again today. We'll see.

I like horrific side highways!

 

[Red Ships of Scalla-Festa]

that sounds awesome.

 

[zonelistener]

no Minneapolis.

Oh. Shoot. I will be in Chicago that weekend.

DAMN.

 

[ouizy]

*as long as you do not go to Canada, you will be just fine.

 

[Lilly]

now THAT is good advice ouizy.

 

[EPandAmerica]

I like horrific side highways!

I knew you were going to say that!

 

[Lemon Meringue]

Minneapolis may be taken out. It just isn't working out time wise. I'm looking at maps and calendars again today. We'll see.

July 22: To Holbrook, AZ
July 23: Holbrook to Albuquerque
July 24: Albuquerque to Tulsa (OKC and Meeker)

Cool! You worked me in after all!!

 

[martha]

Heh-heh.


Minneapolis is just too good to leave out, but it may be a short time there.

 

[martha]

You little shit! It took me a while to figure that out!

 

[Lemon Meringue]

You could always skip Minneapolis and go to Saint Paul instead.

 

[FizzingWhizzbees]

Wow...that's a pretty long trip. You're not going to be in England then?

 

[martha]

You're not going to be in England then?

Could I drive there from here?

Maybe next year or the year after on the way to Iceland. The Man has a cousin who lives in Brixton.

 

[martha]

Stay tuned for an update. I'm waiting hear back from the folks I'm staying with in Minneapolis.

 

[FizzingWhizzbees]

Could I drive there from here?

That depends, are you driving an automobile or a watermobile?

 

[martha]

watermobile?

Now that's what I could use!

 

[Lemon Meringue]

Cool. You could cut across the Great Lakes and save some milage.

 

[martha]

Awright. Here's the final schedule. Every Martha roadtrip has an element of "What's over there? Let's go see!" so some of these destinations are just goals. Some of them have people waiting for me there. Those are the ones to write in pen. Appropriate PMs will be fired off.

July 23 To Holbrook, AZ (goal)
July 24 Holbrook to Amarillo (definite)
July 25 Amarillo to OKC (or further)
July 26 OKC to Memphis (I hope)
July 27 Memphis to Lexington (most likely)
July 28 Lexington to Cleveland, via Charleston, WV (definite)
July 29 Cleveland
July 30 Cleveland
July 31 Cleveland to as far west in Wisconsin as I can get in one day
August 1 Wisconsin to Minneapolis (definite)
August 2 Minneapolis
August 3 Minneapolis
August 4 Minneapolis to Bismarck, ND (goal)
August 5 Bismarck to Sturgis (definite)
August 6 Sturgis
August 7 Sturgis
August 8 Leave Sturgis

This will leave me Missouri and Hawaii to get to someday. Not bad.

If I don't PM you soon, and you think I should, please PM me!
