Teddy kgb Posted August 29, 2020 Report Share Posted August 29, 2020 The wife and I want to drive cross country.....neither of us have travels much, she wants to see mt Rushmore which is fine I guess, I figure I’ll get Triple A to plot our drive but don’t want to spend 7-10-14 days away from home to say I looked at a mountain for 10min Leaving from California.....don’t want to run across any BLM or Antifia....don’t want to get hassled by redneck cops neither. Safe fun trip....casino stops would be nice.... Throw some ideas at me please and I’ll follow up on my end with more research.....100% going Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
