Hey guys, I am probably gonna drive through the U.S.A. over the summer some time with my best friend. (I'm thinking probably the beginning of July-ish, because I would love to make U.S. Open?) A tentative route is something like:
Winnipeg >
North Dakota >
Montana (Crowley?) >
Idaho (Freedom/Penske/Jackson Bros) >
Oregon (U.S. Open??) >
CALIFORNIA
(And then Toronto after hopefully, after the return)

Would floor space be available for crashing in some of these areas? I will probably be in Idaho for the longest, since the trip is based around our friend who lives there and also... going to California!

I'll update as we make plans. I hope shred will be a big part of this trip! Also, we don't know anything about the U.S.A., so if you have tips or anything for traveling a route like this, please share! (We just need passports to get over, right?)

I definitely have floor space for you but under one condition... you show me some of your famous bubble tea

No NYC?

But those destinations look very sweet. Uber fun.

im sure that after us open you could crash at mine or yogan's house for a day or two on your way south of portland towards cali.

You're welcome to stay here for as long as you want!

Rad! Thanks for the positive feedback, guys!
We're gonna start planning the trip probably on the weekend, so what you say here may determine where we go and stay! We may not make U.S. Open, because my friend is hoping to volunteer for a big music festival that happens just outside my city every year on the same weekend, but we'll see what happens.

(Oh, and by floorspace, I mean for two? Acceptable?)

Hey Eric,
If you get a chance, you should definitely swing through Portland, you certainly have a place to stay : ) We encourage everyone to come to Portland to see what the group has become and check out what we are doing. This doesn't necessarily have to be on the US Open date, although that will be something to see as well!

Rad, Red!
Evan, actually, I thought of that. We may plan to come back up through Vegas. Potential floorspace? I think my friend wanted to hit up Arizona too, but I'll have a better idea after we plan tomorrow and look more carefully at a map.

PegLegHolly · Post by **PegLegHolly** » 12 Jun 2009 11:43

Muffinman · Post by **Muffinman** » 13 Jun 2009 08:45

Sanks guys.
Still haven't really planned yet. Lots of factors will change things, but it's still in the works. It's gonna be a blast! I dunno if I will hit Tennessee though. Isn't that more like east coast? Thanks for the replies though

Wasabi · Post by **Wasabi** » 16 Jun 2009 21:58

When is the day that THE Erik Chan will come over to the East Coast?

Muffinman · Post by **Muffinman** » 06 Jul 2009 21:01

The day is nigh, my friend.

So, this still isn't too-well planned.
I'm off to Toronto for a couple weeks on Wednesday and then I will come back and hopefully leave on this trip on the 1st-ish of August. I will probably be in Washugal(?), Washington for the 14th, since my friend is presenting her award-winning film. And that is really the only set date that is a part of this trip so far. I would like to journey up to B.C. after the U.S.A. briefly too. I'll try to keep this updated as I know what's happening.

PS: Vegas sounds good

If you're travelling through Kansas (which I doubt you are), you're welcome to stay at my house.

Muffinman · Post by **Muffinman** » 30 Jul 2009 09:39

Trip canceled on account of no available vehicular transport. I will probably be flying to Washington state (Washougal is the destination, so maybe a visit to Seattle too?) around the 14th, though, and then hopefully pop up to Vancouver for a while.
