"if you want to be included in the road trip, give us a GPS coordinate" and we'll push pin them on on google earth to make a route.

I'm really diggin' this idea... I do have some ideas...

1) We use TWFix members areas as destination points. Some peolple might not be able to go for the long haul, but we could stop by their area and get a tour of the good local roads, then break off.

2) We'll have to get volunteers WELL in advance to give us the grand tour of local roads - that way we can plan the best route to and fro, so we aren't backtracking at any point.

3) It could be like a relay sort of thing. People jump on, and jump off at various points depending on how long they want to go for. So for example, I may jump on when the ride hits FL, go all the way to Mass, then bail off to head home while the ride continues. The people who start the ride, aren't necessarily the people who finish the ride.

I might be down with that. I met a guy that did the Nova Scotia trip and said it was awesome. I've also always wanted to see northern CA. But hey, I'm in the fricken middle so I can pretty much head any direction.

Token run. For all you old IBM network programmers you know what I mean. (token ring)
In short you have circuit, (ring,route) If you want to go you jump on the token as it comes by. Why wait so long to get it ready. plan one for Fall or something like that.

Gotta love being in the middle of the country. Next summer (maybe this summer too), I will probably be in colorado on a mining intership though. If there is anyway I can do it, i will be there.

Here's another idea, although everybody may not be up for it. When possible, stop locations are a TWFixers home, rather than a hotel or campground. People can camp out on couches and floors, then head out the next day with the new person joining the group. But again, not everyone would be up for letting people they don't know stay at their house. I would, but I'm a trusting guy. :lol:

I wish I had the leave to do something like a 2 week long roadtrip. I am going to be married next year and doubt I will be allowed that much vacation time to burn without her.

Sound fucking perfect! I think a day at each "spot" would be good... so a day of traveling, next day at the spot riding, next day traveling, ect...:dthumb:

EXACTLY that's kinda what I was envisioning... though if this idea is a hit... 5 or 6 people can be hard to put up for one person...
