Great plan! You could drive up the Pacific Coast, and hop across the northern border, too.  ;)

MB,


Great idea! I wish I could do a roadtrip but the horses can't feed themselves.


Now that the snow has melted the weather is CO. has turned pretty nice. It's supposed to be really nice for the next couple of weeks, not sure after that. But it is CO. if you don't like the weather wait an hour, it will change. I.E. the storm last week, we went from 70 degree weather one day to 16 inches of snow the next!

Wow that trip sounds fantastic! Why not? The open road is full of possibilities and somehow that is strengthening

On your way up from Tn, on 75 you could stop and visit me in Kentucky. I live right near the highway close to Lexington.  The Kentucky Horse Park is a neat place to visit!

That sounds like a pretty amazing trip to me, there is just something about driving out in the desert, during a warm summer night, while blasting some 70's rock, that's paradise right there for me.

The Grand Canyon...the pictures & movies do not do it justice.
Have you thought about going to Monument Valley, on the Arizona-Utah border.

How about making a stop at all the famous places movies have been made on your trip?
That would be so much!

If you make it down to TX, I would recommend NOT crossing the border at El Paso to go into Juarez...not a nice place to cross.

I went to Arizona with my best friend, her son and my daughter several years ago. We flew to Mesa and visited her brother. Then we rented a convertible mustang and drove it up to flagstaff and went to the Grand Canyon.  It was awesome! The funny thing was it was 80 degrees in Mesa and 70s in Flagstaff. We stayed in Flagstaff for 2 days. Later on the day we left, it snowed there.

Hmmmm, have you ever seen the movie "Gumball Rally"?

A few quotes:
Quote
Bannon: [Answering telephone] Hi, Sam.
Prof. Samuel Graves - Cobra Team: Bannon?
Bannon: It's on, we're go.
Prof. Samuel Graves - Cobra Team: [about the Gumball Rally] Look, I've been giving this matter a lot of thought, and... look, you don't have anything to lose. I mean, to you this thing is just a stunt! I've got a position at this university. I've got a shot at tenure... all I have to do is stay out of trouble a couple more years, I'll be set for life. I can't risk that!
Bannon: It's not a risk... it's a challenge.

and my absolute favorite quote probably from any movie:
Quote
Franco: And now my friend, the first-a rule of Italian driving.
[Franco rips off his rear-view mirror and throws it out of the car]
Franco: What's-a behind me is not important.

You know that your friend in Denver also has a very neat 2 seater convertible  ;D Perhaps different LBSers could meet you along the way and accompany you on various parts of this journey...oh dear I just saw another quote that made me giggle:

Quote
Jane - Porsche Team: If you can catch me, you can have me!

oh MY!

Remember that at altitude, your car doesn't go quite as fast.

Awesome plan MBIB!!!

The road trip plan sounds awesome. I'm sorry you are feeling gray. The memories are beautiful and special ones and I'm pretty sure she's thinking of the same ones. At least remembering the birth of her daughter and grand. Whether she likes it or not you will always be intimately linked to those memories.
