The 5,000 mile, 15 state, family field trip

A run to Walmart is always fun for people watching. Is it wrong I Toyota watch?

 

yes i copied and pasted this for questions......someone who has seen this sign or been to these places... please explain or elaborate.... is Kit Kat Ranch what i think it is? because if so i know where my next road trip direction is going to be...... by the way looks like a fantastic road trip!!!

 

Leave your wives and daughters at home. Bring money. Visit chicken ranch, that is the best of the ranches.

 

Cool thread. I can't wait to travel like this someday.

 

that is real nice. I sure hope I can figure out comfort in my new truck because id like to take off for about a 1800 mile trip or so too. nice pics

 

Mound House ,Nevada.

And yes these are legal brothers about 10 minutes from Carson city.

This one “Moonlite “ was featured on HBO’s cat houses .. or something like t
I heard they have a gift shop of stuff from the show from the people that live In The area. It’s funny they have road signs like caution bunnies at play... or dangerous curves with a woman’s silhouette.

Just over 1/3 of the trip in the books. Still in Carson/Reno/Lake Tahoe area. 13 days left if the family rd trip thru California to Crater Lake National Park in Oregon, Portland and my must stop TACOMA, Washington..oh yeah pictures of my Tacoma in TACOMA!! Then Seattle . A whale tour, safe co field, Spokane wa. Cut across Idaho to Missoula, Montana. A stop at Theodore Roosevelt National Park in North Dakota, target field/mall of America in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Finally the stretch across the land of cheese back to Milwaukee.
It’s been one hell of a ride in Bob 2.0 (too bad ass to have a chicks name)


Bob was my 2015 Tacoma prerunner sr5 (no 4wd) that my daughter named and my 2017 Trd became BOB 2.0

A shout out to the retired Bob!


Stay tuned for the rest of the tour

 

Here’s my last trips in Yellowstone and another in South Dakota black hills

Nice trip. I've done similar trips over the years but never been to a single place you went. I've been to Yellowstone twice when my kids were young, but coming from GA we usually take a more southern loop. We spent some time in SW Utah 2 years ago and found it to be a pleasant surprise. My kids are grown and out of the house. My wife and I are planning a trip to Colorado in Oct. It will be a combo sight seeing and hunting trip. I plan to get there at least a week early and see some sights before hunting a week.

I'm actually ready to do something like that with my grand kids. The 2 oldest are 8 and 10. I'd like to take them in the next year or 2. The youngest is 4 and another is due in August. Probably wait about 5 years before taking the 2 younger ones. Not willing to do that with 4 kids at the same time.

 

Yep ! I plan on a National Park every year. Lucky enough to already go to Pearl Harbor. Hard to drive there. My next will be south West Arizona,New Mexico. . My dream is to drive from our house to Denali National Park in Alaska. That may be a trip I do without family.

 

7,000 miles rd trip.

 

hey man your trip is awesome already and will continue to be more awesome, if you get the chance while you're in seattle find the Pier where they through the fish ( won't be disappointed) and find the Troll under the bridge, both in my book are well worth the photo op...love road trips enjoy the ride and stay safe on your journey

 

Pike place market. It's worth a stop, he won't be too far from there when he's there to check out Safeco.

Parking somewhere near the light rail and taking it around is quite a bit more convenient so you dont have to pay to park or find a spot. Not sure how long you'll be there. Good luck on your trip!

 

so glad someone knew the exact name lol... i was stationed in Washington for 2 years and had went there and couldn't remember...also OP if you can swing it drive through the Redwood trees...the list is forever long of the things you can see

 

Just be sure and pack a can of freak repellent when you go to Pikes Place Market, or anywhere in Seattle for that matter.

 

It's not that bad. Amazon has basically taken over. They've got 40 percent of all office space in downtown Seattle. It happened almost overnight. If anything ever changed with them, Seattle could be the next Detroit unfortunately. It's too much.

 

Anyone recommend a parking lot near the rail line. I’m staying in Bellevue and driving in everyday. Wanted to hit all the downtown stuff in one day and use the light rail to get er done

 

We fly in for Seahawks games on Sundays. So I'm always taking the light rail from the airport. I'm not exactly sure where the best place to park would be from Bellevue, but you're definitely staying in a good spot. Hopefully someone else will chime in, if not, I'm sure the front desk of your hotel will recommend a good place.

 

Bellevue is 8 1/2 Miles from downtown. I guess I’ll try parking on southwest side of Seattle since it’s a angels Vs mariners games when I’m there. I also heard gas is $4.28-4.79 per gallon. Pffff . Lake Tahoe California was $4.11-$4.20 a gallon. Wish I had Jerry cans. I was paying $2.98 in Dayton,Nevada
