Hey everybody! I'm traveling cross country (I know) from North Carolina back to Washington State as I leave the Marines. If you'd like for me to stop by and catch a beer with you (with masks on?) or maybe we can fade the social interaction - drop your city/state below and I'll see about traversing your way. I'll update the list if I get any bites. My trip will be the first couple weeks of April.
I took the middle USA route last time so I'll probably go through Virginia/upper USA this time on the way back.
Places I'm Definitely Stopping At:
Chicago, IL (friend)- Bumfuckingville, NE (DesertT)
Bond & Denver, CO (Kronibas, Williamson and a bunch of hoodlums)- Portland, OR (Ourlalalala, brytta, Max + others?)
[/list]

as I leave the Marines
whhhh
Sign me up if you're headed through Portland-area. Though you should probably drive I-90 through MT/ID if you haven't yet.
Also I assume you've seen the Corn Palace already?
-
ME! ME!
I wanna see the corn palace.
I'm also in Portland. As is my bf who plays Arm, but I dunno if he's interested. I'll ask!
-
Lincoln, NE
So long as you're the first couple of weeks of April, I'll be around.
Don't wait until May though, because then I'll be gone!!
-
Swing through Denver. Maybe we can call Kronibas down from the mountains?
-
If you head through the valley, I will drink tequila with you. (Phoenix)
-
Hopefully one day you get down in the Florida area, congrats on getting out man. Enjoy civ life.
-
Damn, you're barely missing my "I'll be vaccinated by then" window. I won't be COVID safe until the first week of May and don't want to risk it. Have a good trip though!

Dang that sucks! I'm going to try to get my vaccination this week before I start my trip.

Krath is down for beers and whiskey when you come to Portland.

Oooh, me too! I finally got a new car after mine was stolen so I can meet up wherever. I bet I could convince Potaje to come too, depending on where/when.

My brother still lives in that area so I'll definitely be around for a little bit, at least. And visiting semi-regularly. Wanna do something particular? Something special? Some kind of activity and then hangout.
Ourla: Do you remember losing your entire life savings to me in shuffle board?

I've been thinking about this. I'll call it a tentative "yes" if we have something Denver'y to do. I've always wanted to visit CO.
-
Regarding Denver, Casa Bonita is kinda fun.
http://casabonitadenver.com/ (http://casabonitadenver.com/)
One of the largest restaurants and they have a dive show nearly every 15 minutes.
Plus themed rooms.
My wife doesn't care for the food, but it's not horrible. Especially if you've eaten a few MREs.
If you want quality of food, then you can't go wrong with The Buckhorn Exchange.
https://www.buckhorn.com/ (https://www.buckhorn.com/)
It is certainly on the pricey side, but well worth it.
-
+1 about Casa Bonita. It's a fun place!
-
I live in Colorado also and would come out to meet folks, but I won't be vaccinated yet by early April. maybe next time
-
It looks like I'll be leaving base probably around the 13th or so. I'll be in Raleigh for a couple days after that probs, then onward. So plan is to finish the trip by the 30th. Places to visit in between. I'll update when I get a solid day.

He just reached out to me!
We have some options for me + 5 others! He says anyone in CO is welcome. He can meet us over in Bond, CO for rafting/hiking.
Tentatively April 23-25. Who's down?

Feel free to pitch in if you'd like me to take a detour or w/e.

Sounds good. I sent you a PM with contact info to work out the details.
FYI: Rafting? You realize people still ski in April.

Wetsuit rafting is a thing. :D

You're SERIOUSLY not coming through Jersey?!
I am a GREAT hostess!
-
Passing through Cincinnati? Have plans?

Haha, idk, figured we were just gonna hike really.

I'm sure you are but I'm not driving through that state, unfortunately.
Passing through Cincinnati? Have plans?
I wasn't planning on it since I'm doing Nashville then Chicago. My map I just posted is a little off, now that I've added Nashville.
-
Ah, I see. Computers...
-
You can totally go through Cinci from Nashville to Chicago

Will do! Waiting on my date of departure for a lot of stuff.

Sorry, I skipped over you Dan! I had been trying to get to get somewhere in Western NC the day I EAS'd.
I'm in Nashville today and I'm traveling to Chicago this week. I'll be in CO around Sunday.
-
Roger that,
If you can get to Denver by Saturday afternoon, I'll treat you to a meal in Denver (I suggest the 6-course chef tasting at Uchi - Denver). We should be able to make it to Kronibas' homestead that night. I have a 2 man Tupei rooftop tent on my Outback so we don't have to pitch a tent. Sunday, once sober, we can raft/hike with Kronibas as our guide. Unfortunately, I have to work Monday, and Denver to the homestead is 2.5 hours through the Rockies.
P.S. The forecast is for snow on Monday and Wednesday so pack warmly.

Lemme know when you have an Oregon ETA...I've currently got some dental work scheduled for Tuesday (27th) afternoon. :D

I'll be there Friday actually

Spent last night getting some good Ethiopian food / seeing the fight with Williamson and I'm hitting up Kron today for some rafting before I start my journey to Portland. Ought to be in Portland Thursday/Friday. My brother lives there so I will probably stay over the weekend.
Portlandians: What are we doing this weekend??
-
If no one has good ideas for you: Acropolis
Lived there for four years. Portland, not the Acropolis specifically. I know you have kids and stuff but still worth going.
Edit: assuming the acrop is open with COVID. Crap shutting down on the west coast is why I had to travel to more dangerous parts of the country for my fun.

Turrible idea: hiking in the Gorge, open-air dining in Hood River. However I'm only suggesting this out of self-interest (and because I don't know Actual Portland that well). I defer to locals.
I'm post-shot-#2 so fairly up for anything Th/Fri. I'm booked Saturday afternoon though.
If no one has good ideas for you: Acropolis
(okay well I'm not personally up for strip clubs.)

Rafting down Colorado River complete with the Kronibas.
-
If no one has good ideas for you: Acropolis
I've actually already been here with some friends. I used to live in Vancouver WA for about 3 years.
Only been to one strip club, though. El Diablo took several thousand dollars from a friend of mine so I figured I should not wade into that kind of marital issue.

Molton Falls
I like. Bit of a far drive for me (coming over from the dry side).
Moulton Falls: https://www.alltrails.com/trail/us/washington/moulton-falls-east-fork-of-the-lewis-river-trail
Looking for stuff a little closer to I-84 or 14:
Angels Rest: https://www.alltrails.com/explore/trail/us/oregon/angels-rest--3
Sandy River: https://www.alltrails.com/explore/trail/us/oregon/sandy-river-trail--2
Or a big ol' in-town loop: https://www.alltrails.com/explore/trail/us/oregon/north-forest-park-loop-via-st-johns-bridge
Friday, I don't even know if hiking is what you wanted to do. :D

Bruuuuh I wish I would have ventured onto this like even a couple days ago. I'm not around cincy anymore but if you come through Missouri i'm not far from kansas city.
Hope the trip has been a blast and best luck on the next steps of your journey.

Thanks for hosting us @ourla!!

Aww, damn. Wish I was around for this, not that you made it that far down the West Coast, regardless.
