[Bru]

Guess we'll just have to do our own TCG multi-day car cruise. Would that interest anyone?

Boooo! That stinks

 

[SirMarco]

Those are far away.

 

[Lead Pipe]

They've done the upper midwest forever. I'm not surprised. I just wish I would have done a couple more stops.

 

[Eagle]

Why done with the upper midwest forever?

 

[Lead Pipe]

No, they've had at least part of the tour go through the upper midwest as far as I can remember.

 

[Frank Dukes]

chicago to st louis to memphis for the rest of the tour would be feasable if it really enticed people.. its not all that far. 600 miles or so iirc.

 

[SinisterSHO]

memphis isn't that far.

 

[C.Evans]

Memphis cruise? One stop of the power tour is good for me. I just wanna drive.

 

[Yaj Yak]

No, they've had at least part of the tour go through the upper midwest as far as I can remember.

I don't think so.

2006 was east coast...

They've had east and west coast power tours. The past few years have stopped in the Midwest pretty regularly though.

 

[SinisterSHO]

Charolette is about 14-15 hours and you could drive the tail of the dragon on the way home.

I didn't say my memory went too far back. Fucking bath salts.

 

[Mook]

id still be enticed.

 

[Eagle]

Memphis isn't bad (distance wise) at all. It's a blast down there too. I'd probably go down there the night before, party it up on Beale St, then hit the show the next day. Possibly drive through to Birmingham and Chattanooga then head home. At least that would be a good "short" piece of HRPT to be involved in IMO.

 

[EmersonHart13]

That is still do-able. I would almost rather do that as it goes places I have never been.

 

[b00ya]

W00t it starts in my neck of the woods, im going to be doing the full thing next year. Either in my own car if I buy another one or riding shotgun in my buddies vette.

 

[SRT41320]

i would still do it - i did nopi down to atlanta in 06 - that was cool
