A Gardeners Forum Forums Members History Forum Life 2006 Anyone see Oprah and Gail's roadtrip?

Well, in about 8 months, Stephen and I will be doing the same thing! We will be making the 4400+ mile trip from Pennsylvania to Alaska. Yup, we're finally moving. So, what I'd like to know is this.....who's on my way??? We haven't set the route in stone yet and Stephen is willing to meet some forum friends if they aren't too far out of the way. Lately, here is the route that we've been batting around....

PA into Ohio into Indiana into Illinois into Wisconsin into Minnesota into North Dakota into Manitoba into Saskatchewan into Alberta into British Columbia into Yukon Territory (back and forth between BC and Yukon a few times) and then into Alaska. Ironically, that is pretty much the way that mapquest would take us.

So...who's up for a visit!??

Oh man, that's gonna be some trip!

If you decide to take the "scenic route" through Kentucky let me know!

I soooo wish I was on the way, but....not even close! Please be careful and post when you can!

Well......we're not leaving until the first week in July......and I'm sure we'll stop somewhere that has free Wi-Fi like Panera Bread or something.

I live in Minnesota hisgal!

Great!

We changed the way that we are going across the country and up into Canada. I hope that we still go through Minnesota so we could meet!

It's too bad you can't head north a few hours first, you're leaving so close to the time of the summer camp \'07 and you could see so many of us at once! I would love to see you!

Is there an actual date for that yet? I would need to know it because it is only a couple of hours from us and I don't see a problem with doing that before we go it if falls on the right weekend. Today when I ask Stephen if we were leaving the first week in July he hee-hawed on a respnonse and said "something like that" which tells me that we're being somewhat flexible in our thinking. ......soooooooo.....i need a date.

I'm in Canada.
Will you be cutting through Ontario at all?

That would be great if you could swing by our get together next summer....like Mel said, there will be many of us there.

ummm...I'm not sure where Ontario is....lemme look

Christina is close to the border with Michigan and i am further north on Georgian Bay, right at the bottom of the bay.

nope, we most likely won't get into Canada until Alberta.....we're going west to Montana and then cutting up.

Thats too bad!!

ya...but I will try to talk Stephen into us going to the summer camp thing.

That would be so nice if you both could make it, and meet before you head up north....way up north!
Where are you moving to up there again?

Jen, I believe the date for summer camp is July 14th. Someone correct me if this is wrong.

Nope....i think thats the date too, we were waiting for the kids to be finished school.

Penny, we're moving to Kenai, Alaska. ....and I can't wait!

Ok....July 14th. I'll see what he says about that.....although I'm not sure if he'll want to stay around that late.

What'd he say???

Montana????
I really think you should stop at Cedar Hill before turning north!!

I WISH!!!! I'd absoluetly LOVE to come visit you. I'll keep that in mind the next time Stephen gets something really neat-o. ....like the nice pretty new truck we just got!!! '...but honey....you got the Avalanche, so now we have to go to Bill's on the way to alaska....' yeah, that MIGHT work.

...not looking too good on going to summer camp tho.

Well let me know if you will be going through Minnesota. I have not met anyone from on here yet, so that would be fun!

I agree with Bill. you have to come through Cedar Hill before going North. I will drive up to meet you as well!!!
