If you end up in Cleveland, can you have a look at my old house? I heard they made some changes, and I'm curious about them.

The first time I drove to Cali. from NH I drove 10 thru the south and then up the coast it was a bit more interesting then my last time when I drove 70.
If going on 80 stop at the Big 80. It's right when you enter Iowa, it's a massive truck stop. Just check it out if your in that area. I live in Boston also, once you get into ohio and then until you hit the rockies. The flatlanders are horrible drivers, just wait I drove through the midwest doing 90 mph the whole way.
The place he is referring to is the Iowa 80 Truck stop, it IS the worlds largest truck stop. pretty impressive. If you want to get some chrome for yer' rig, this is the place.Quote:

i'd like to resurrect this thread, and scrounge for more information. i'm heading west tomorrow, but my destination is a bit more north... kalispell, mt. anybody know anything about kalispell? i'm sure that there will be a very interesting TR in a week or two, but tips or advice would be much appreciated. cheers.
Jackson hole.
It is a little out of the way maybe, if your going to Montana but well worth it. We stayed at The Erma Hotel in Cody, Wy. It was owned by Buffalo Bill, and they do a gun fight show on the main drag outside the hotel in the evenings. Then do the Buffalo Bill museum in Cody in the morning, a quick drive up and into the park after that to watch a gyser, maybe see a moose, bear or elk, then drive south out of the park to get down to Jenny lake just before sunset, to watch a sunset over The Grands. Spend the night in Jackson Hole, do the tourist thing, then take a tram ride up Jackson Hole resort to watch the crazy parasailers (?) glide off the mountain and float down to the valley floor. They give tandem rides for about $100 after your sign away all liability.
You could consider all this a scouting expedition for a ski trip to Jackson next winter. You know, scoping out the good hotels, etc in advance.

They are also a couple of towns with names like "Hühnergeschrei" (chicken noise) ...
