Driving to Webmaster Access - NYC to LA
 

I feel like taking a road trip to meet up with some Webmasters on my way out to LA for the Webmaster Access event on Nov. 21-23.

This is my 4 time driving around the US , so I am not really sure which way I want to take.

I have done the I-70 , I-40, I-80 and I-10 route before. I would love to head up north to I-90 around the Black Hills and Badlands National park . Over to the Yellowstone and The Grand Tetons , but maybe this is not a good time of year to do it !

So if anyone wants to meet up and is anywhere on the way from New York City to LA , Post here or send me an ICQ 45771964

You get near midOhio on 70, lemme know ;)

taking the moterbike?

Jayman where you live in Urbana???

LOL

I'm an hour south of Badlands and the Blackhills. We are just now starting get snow here and the Black Hills would be awesome too see right now. As far as the Badlands, I just drive threw that on my way up to South Dakota, they are half on a Native American Reservation. I wouldn't want to drive across the "Rez" at night though, they have the worst roads ever.

Driving coast to coast during the fall.... hehe, lots of weather on the way I bet!

Have fun :thumbsup

I think I can do that. There is nothing between Pennsyltucky and Ohio that I want to see anyway !

Can you get me a date with Trisha Uptown ? She is around Dayton I think !

No I am going to take the Join Right Now photo/video production van. It is outfitted with all my gear.

Do they close a lot of the roads due to weather ?

I don't mind weather, I drove around the US for 2 years , lived in my van in the middle of the winter in Deleware. Death Valley in the summer !

If I don't like the weather I can just change directions !

I'm glad your coming out Dugmor, like I say all the time, I love your work and enjoy your presence at events. Have a safe drive and see you in Los Angeles

you should seriously document it and shit it would be cool

start a reality site and fake pick up chicks

its somewhat of a knockoff but think of it more like survivor 2 or the next joe millionaire

or just do a documentary
win an oscar

Thanks Kat, it will be nice to see you agian !

Gala Film already started a docu-series on me !

I am not going to fake picking up chicks........... I am really going to do it !

if anyone can, it is you.

should be a fun drive brotha just be careful

If you pass Phoenix, be sure to take some of my stuff to LA. 2 boxes, easily fit in trunk or backseat. I can pay your gas from Phoenix to LA (suppose you don't drive a hummer), or will take you to a real good Chinese restarant in LA. :thumbsup

That is if they let you in the country!

My friends drove from Buffalo to Arizona to visit me and took the route you are about to. They LOVED it, they had done the other routes before, but they liked this the best. They loved the Badlands and that area...but I would suggest doing this in the summer! :thumbsup

damn...after all that driving, i'll buy you a cognac when you arrive.

I am already in the country............ I drove down from Montreal last night. I am in New Jersey now . I will head out next week !

So if anyone wants to meet up along the way !

Post here :)

I would love a cognac................. thanks !

Maybe I can be the Webmaster that drove the furthest to get to the first Webmaster Access . Is there some kind of prize ?

Yeah I was thinking to head back there during the summer. I think a lot of the parks close for the winter.

Yeah, I'll pay for the room for 2 nites for the guy who drives the furthest.

Cool ... I have already logged 377.8 miles

Montreal - New Jersey !

I figure it is going to be another 2790 miles from NYC to LA.

So my total will be around 3167.8 miles drivin ! That is as long as I take the most direct route. I may have to zig zag a few times if anyone plans on driving further ! I like to win !

Can you pin the contest on the top of GFY for a while ?

I'll see ya when ya get there!

That is an Ocean side room ......... right ?
:thumbsup

Come down to Miami first, that will secure your win :thumbsup

get your kicks on route 66-

I did it years ago when I moved out here-
you'll avoid some harsh conditions then if you had gone way north.

Only downside is Oklahoma- boring other than that- you have great BBQ in texas and UFO sightings in New Mexico- or at least a few shooting stars.

KB.. Don't OK hate. :winkwink:

Hey, if youre making a pit stop in Vegas pick me up. Ive been contemplating whether to go to the Convention or not, but if I get a ride down I have no other choice ;)

Dugmor, don't tempt me to get in the car and run a few extra miles on ya.... you know me, Mr Drive anywhere... :-)

Alex

Well since you will be starting out on the South Shore, I already have a few extra miles on you ................... but if you did it on the Harley I would be impressed !

Now see if I could cross the border wqithout any hassle, I'd be just a few miles more then you got. I'd say about 10-12miles more. That would be the icing on the cake that would beat ya.

All depends on immigration/customs at the border and if they'll let me pass.

Anywayz... sux you left but all the best Dugmor. And yeah, we'll be waiting for your content.

As far as road closings in the Badlands / Black Hills, it does happen, just matters how much snow they are getting at that time. We have had quite a bit already in the past week, but it supposed to slow down next week.

You would still have to drive down to New York City !

I will drive out to Montawk if I have to .......... I will be pissed if I don't win those 2 paid nights at the Double Tree !

After all that driving I am going to have to jump in a nice Jacuzzi......... drinking that cognac Tofu is going to buy me :thumbsup

road trips are always adventurous

What kinda car you driveing dugmor?

I'll bet it's one of those old chevy's with a waterbed in the back, shag carpet and a "don't come knockin" stickers on the back
