Default New York To Bettendorf

As a "rehearsal" for next year's coast to coast gtg, I'll be leaving for Iowa on Saturday, May 19.

Since it's about 1000 miles, and I'll be a bit pressed for time and money, the route will be a near straight line through Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and finally, Iowa.

First stop for the night will be Lorain, Ohio. Sunday morning, I'll be happy and pleased to meet anyone who'd like to meet me that's willing to come up to I-80. (Not a big jump for several Ohioan Orgers, or a Pennsylvanian or two? )

If enough of the curious show up, I just might stay one more day somewhere in Ohio.

Then it's onward to Illinois and Iowa, arriving Sunday or Monday night. Staying one night, maybe two.

And then homeward bound.

Hoping to arrive home over Memorial Day weekend.

You'd show up if it was for Randolph Scott!

There's no apostrophe before an 's' when you're talking about the plural version of a word. "I took some neat photo's!" is NOT correct.

I live near the Il/ IN border by I-80 unless you want ot waste hours in your car sitting. plan your trip so you hit the IL/In border at midday early morning or late afternoon is bad.

on I80 anywhere from I65 in IN to I57 in IL is the bad zone.

Broken Arrow to Bettendorf? That's about 600 miles!

Sounds catchy though. Almost like "Beetles Across America."

This is quite a plan you've got! My practice trip for my 16,000 mile adventure was to head up to St Louis to get a few more supplies from my Grandma's house!

I had told Erin I'd head up there, too, at some point. If things at work end up like I'm hoping they will, this might be the perfect time! Why not meet a few .orgers while I'm at it? Unless I'd be treading on your turf.

Can't be worse than my daily commute in Brooklyn or the Golden State Freeway in sunny Southern California.

Besides, if traffic is really bad, it's a good excuse for a rest stop.

Of course, you're more than welcome.

"Treading?" Heck, the more, the merrier!

Believe me Alan it's horrible! I'll meet up with you on this trip. Maybe we can get some other orgers to join us.
