    I got fucked up one night and agreed to help my boy move back to ATL.

    Am I totally fucked or what? This is like 2500 miles and I've never driven that far and it's not even close.

    How fucked am I?

    Nothing worse than getting drunk and agreeing to help someone move.

    Oh wait, there are a million things worse than that.

    i dont wanna come off like i do oh so often on here as this wanna be bad ass kid who's done and seen it all, but i gotta say.... you need to do this right

    my most recent road trip i am planning, i am bringing ample amounts of mushrooms, LSD, and ecstacy... i am going to map out all the state parks, all the concerts that will be playing along the way, and some random towns that nobody has ever heard of, and i'm gonna make a go of it. i'm gonna do it right in bumfuck oklahoma, i'm gonna piss my pants in the tip of arizona, right where the snow begins to show, i'm gonna speed up the 1 with reckless abandon, i'm gonna do vegas all wrong, completely wrong, and i'm gonna end up in the mountains without snow tires trying to sneak through tioaga pass

    this is a blessing, do it right

    also: a real bit of advice, don't run the middle of the country, its boring as fuck, run it south, grand canyon, texas, oklahoma, maybe even meander into the bayou.... stay away from nebraksa'esqu places, they're useless... its just a whole patch of land that serves as nothing else other than to keep the east and west coast rappers apart

    I think we're just going to New Orleans for NFL on Sunday but other than that we're trying to get home ASAP.

    I've got Braves playoff tickets so I can't stretch the trip too long, we definately getting fucked up on the trip (no boozing obv), shrooms would be the shit but I doubt we have a hookup out here.

    I've done this in the opposition direction. I did it solo and I did Atl -> Little Rock, Little Rock -> Gallup, NM, Gallup, NM -> Vegas.

    The middle day was 14 hours of driving, it was not fun.

    Oh there's no need. You could walk around on the worst streets of ATL in the middle of the night and nobody would bother you.

    Most criminals are smart enough to understand that you can't scare away all the dopehead white boys by robbing them, it's bad for business.

    edit:

    oops meant to quote whatup here.

    I have done this exact drive twice by myself both times. There really isnt too much you can do to help pass the time except listen to CD's. But after like 5 hours each day you just get in a zone and can drive forever it seems like. I stopped in Amarrilo TX and Little Rock AR then to Atlanta when I made the drive.

    I drove from fort worth area in texas to north carolina on no sleep before (3 liters of diet coke +4 5hr energy shots) Never doing that again.

    Only advice if you get tired pull over somewhere to sleep

    When I moved from Kalamazoo to Tampa I drove down. And I've driven back up and back down since. The key is bring more music than you could possibly listen to. If you have an IPOD that's easy, I however didn't have one, burnt 5 CD's thinking that'd be fine for the trip, I was wrong.

    I travel for my job for 6 months plus at a time. In 2005 I drove a loaded 26' foot box truck over 18,000 miles in 6 months, including a Seattle to Albuquerque run straight through by myself. Driving isn't bad at all if you play the right music and put yourself on auto pilot and make the best use of your stops.

    With another person you just need to bang out 600 miles a day. Set the odometer and switch every 150 miles for fuel and an energy drink. You have to take at least a 30 minute nap on your off shift.

    The real key is to get your ass up and moving. Try to be on the road no later than 8am - any earlier you feel tired, any later you are wasting time.

    Obviously up it to 800 for an even faster trip but much longer days.

    Be happy you're at least doing it down south. I drove to Vegas this summer by myself from Ohio, then out to California then back to Vegas then all the way back to Ohio. It was quite the bore with shitholes like Iowa and Nebraska.. make sure you stop frequently and check out all the little touristy stuff like dinosaur footprints or w/e, it'll help keep you sane.

    No sir, I'm going to be happy that my buddy flew me out to Vegas to drive to ATL but now he's just going to fly me back to ATL because I talked him out of driving back.
