Never been to a desert or west of the Rocky Mountains. Gods I don't want to roll there from NW Florida, but I've never seen it.

Work, because I can't afford a road trip.
The bathroom. Better to go before you go!
Also the servo. Won't getting far without fuel.
God damn it you beat me to it
Gas station for fuel and snacks.
toronto and then never come back.
Computer history museum. – the archive of our age and what shaped it thus far.
I'd like to go to the La Brea tar pits because that holds massive meaning for Earth's living history.
I'd like to spend a full day at Barber Motorsports Park again if I was ever in Birmingham again.
I love the age when people cast engines and machined parts in their middle class neighborhood back yards and alleys; when all motorcycles still had bicycle pedals and were just modified bicycle frames. The way the motorcycle started as nothing more than a velodrome pace bike to replace the 4+ man tandems for leading out certain track events is on clear display in their museum. I wish I lived in an age like that, where people could be far more creative without space and shitty people constraints. I have no place to do metal casting even if I could somehow handle the physical stress of it. I would love to do green sand casting.
The tar pits are worth a visit! Lots of cool history and I like the smell lol
A hot springs! It's been too long since I've been to one and I just want to re-fucking-lax
That sounds awesome, good call!
Buc-ee’s for some sweet sweet road trip snacks
Buccee's is incredibly awful to their employees.
My wife scored a job there and I got her to quit before she started. The HR staff was rocking the phones, non stop, trying to get people to come back in. Not a good sign.
I've worked some nasty jobs, ain't afraid of much. I could go on and on, but the rules at Buc-ee's are fucking appalling. Yeah, they pay better than average, but you are a slave. However bad you think your job is? Not hearing it if you don't work at Buc-ee's. I'll never stop there again as long as I live.
The top speed of my vehicle, for at least a few minutes. It's been too long..
Ohhh you wanted a location... booooring.
The RV rental place.
No financial or resource limits? I want to go everywhere within driveability and see & do absolutely everything.
Including Hiking all the waterfalls in Oregon.
All the breathtaking lesser-known beach gems up & down the California coast line.
Disneyland 😊 I wouldn't recommend it for everyone, but I want to go because I haven't been since childhood/teenager and it would be cute nostalgia.
Can we get some breakfast tacos for the road, please?
Coffee to begin? Gas station coffee and cigs would be perfect
