    I will be in Butte on Friday for sure, if you guys are really all driving out, I will try my best to be in Missoula on Saturday (it's 2 hours between both cities). If you guys wanna stop for beers in Butte on Friday, hit me up.

    Chit, I haven't had my 4G phone out in Montana...they are a little slow on the cell service, I will be lucky if they have 3G now. Verizon is the carrier there, if you have Verizon, you're good.
    I think a stop in Butte is a great Idea? Maybe camp there one night?

    i've looked at full on RV's, but they are a little more expense....although there is sleeping for up to 7....and if you only go 7 that really drives up the price.


    This is my God's honest opinion. No bullshit for the most economical driving method for you guys. Toyota Corollas. I used to buy a shit load of them off rental...easily a 1000 or more in my time. They are hard to reserve and there's a reason for that. They are so fucking fuel efficeint and still have more than adequate power. You can very comfortably get 4 people in each car and you will average under full load easily 30mpgs. You can find them with Enterprise for about 40-50 per day or less with unlimited mileage. I know it's not as glamouress as having maybe a party van but it will be the most economical way for 10-12 of you fuckers to get to Montana.

    This is kind of why I suggested a caravan of cars. My Fiesta gets about 35 mph fully loaded, and it's quite comfortable with three people (four would get a bit cramped, but is doable). A multitude of miniparties in each vehicle, with semi-frequent stops for president sightseeing, brief parties in podunk towns during lunch, and switching places (y'know, when poeple get tired of my driving). It's not a bus party, but I would think it'd be loads of fun with plenty of partying in MT and the campgrounds.

    And, more importantly, more money for everyone to party with!

    Butte is cool, since I have family and friends there, going to the bars is fun. I can search out places to camp for you if you like.
    The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.

    i think that is how this whole thing started....if there isn't enough interest/real deisre for the bus, i'd be down with a caravan...

    i'd be happy to take my truck (assuming someone else can drive a manual). it sits two in comfort, can handle a thrid person in semi comfort, a 4th if you are midget. :lol: .....also a little bit of storage space in the bed.


    the nice thing about the bus, is you only need two, maybe three drivers, and the non drivers can party it up, plays xbox or watch a movie....be a bit more comfy and spread out, although those perks admittidly do cost a bit more.

    I can't believe I just read all friggen 10 pages of this. Now this sounds interesting. Considering I'll just be getting back from Atlanta on Sunday. I could rest up and work for 3 days and then hit the road again.

    Now I really have to think about this. :think: :think: :think:

    How about a poll on van/caravan?

    I vote van too... we can still do a caravan with the bus on point! I'm guessing we're gonna get more than 9 people by the time this thing get rolling. Make a stop in Minn and wherever else to pick up some more travelers. I don't think Montana is ready for this.
