We can take my car. It's an auto. Three people will be easy, 4 plus luggage might be tight. I didn't get tickets either. Not worried about that thought something will come up.

hey hey.....an auto might make things a bit more easy to rotate drivers in and out.


sucks that the rental cost is so damn much on teh van. friggen 2 grand for a half a dozen days :fp:

For about $350 a person we can fly out of Chicago to spokane and drive that far. Was just looking at different things. It's how I kill time.

Yeah plane ticket still $240's figured everyone throw in a hundy would cover 2 cars. Yeah I don't care how we get there as long as we get there.

looks like the, I'm Going to Missoula Thread, is killing this thread....

do they want a cookie?

it should kill this one, we are but a subset of that one.....our cool factor is higher too.

honestly, i'd prefer to push all the way to misoulla on friday, leaving us a free sat to be rested for a fuck around day (i wanna go to Idaho if only for a few minutes, bucket list and all). although, 120 mile drive from butte is pretty much nothing. on the flip side, stopping at mt rushmore (i really want to stop, and i believe truck does as well) friday AM will kill a little of the day time. i guess at the end of the day, i'm indifferent on pushing thru or stopping in butte, so long as we check out mt rushmore, if only for an hour.


currently sitting at 6 confirmed, which warrents a two vehicle caravan. last count, there are three more that may be intersted.

current rides include kw's fiesta, my access tacoma and andyz's mystery car.

kw's and i both have manual, so i woudl suggest either his car or my truck and andy's car as we only have three manual drivers at last count. (KW, truck and myself, i know cubee is a no go on manual, not sure about nature or andy)

long time to go, but any thoughts on supply needs?

i've got a tent, an awening (or whatever the hell it's called) some chairs, a gas lantern. if we have electricity up there, i have a halogen light that would work well. not sure if we need a grill, but i have both propane and charcoal that we can take.

beer and alcohol whip cream

The site has both electric and H2O. It says there are plenty of grills available throughout the grounds. And I defiantly wanna stop at Rushmore. If the second show is announced I don't think it would be a problem staying an extra day with it being a Monday and all? Where are we staying Friday? Butte? The Mountain? Off ramp?

I also have a SHIT TON of camping stuff. Pretty much everything we could possibly need.

where are we staying thrusday night for that matter assuming mt rushmore is our desitnation thrusday (900 miles there)

i'm open to camping, cramming into a hotel room, or sleeping on the side of the road.

all i know is the park opens at like 8am
