The plan is to stop in Asheville, NC and Birmingham, AL. From there, we swing up through Memphis, TN and Little Rock, AR to get to Interstate 40 and take that all the rest of the way west through Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona and into California. If I had more time and money, I'd be zigzagging all over the country.

Any ideas of good shit to see along the way?

Anyone know if this is doable in one week?

 

Here is the route...

how many people are you doing that with? thats a serious drive but should be a good time with lots of laughs.

 

Just my wifey and I. She's a great travel partner.

 

you'll see CLASSIC cities like:

 

OKLAHOMA CITY

 

ALBUQUERQUE

 

LITTLE ROCK

 

 

flagstaff I hear is alright tho.

 

Do I sense a hint of sarcasm or are they actually worth checking out?

well i've never been to Oklahoma or Arkansas, but Albuquerque fucking sucks. If you have the time, it's totally worth it to head up to Santa Fe. Some really great restaurants and art galleries if you're into that sort of thing!

The desert baked under the summer sun. Red jumped off the freight as it slowed just outside the railroad yard. He took a shit behind some tall rocks to the north, wiped his ass with some leaves. Then he walked fifty yards, sat behind another rock out of the sun and rolled a cigarette. He saw the hippies walking toward him. Two guys and a girl. They had jumped off the train in the yard and were walking back.

One of the guys carried a Viet Cong flag. The guys looked soft and harmless. The girl had a nice wide ass -- it almost split her bluejeans. She was blond and had a bad case of acne. Red waited until they almost reached him.

"Heil Hitler!" he said. The hippies laughed. "Where you going?" Red asked. "We're trying to get to Denver. I guess we'll make it." "Well," said Red, "you're going to have to wait a while. I'm going to have to use

your girl." "What do you mean?" "You heard me." Red grabbed the girl. With one hand grabbing her hair and the other her ass, he

kissed her. The taller of the guys reached for Red's shoulder. "Now wait a minute . . ." Red turned and put the guy on the ground with a short left. A stomach punch. They

guy stayed down, breathing heavily. Red looked at the guy with the Viet Cong flag. "If you don't want to get hurt, leave me alone."

"Come on," he said to the girl, "get over behind those rocks." "No, I won't do it," said the girl, "I won't do it." Red pulled his switchblade and hit the button. The blade was flat across her nose,

pressed it down. "How do you think you'd look without a nose?" She didn't answer. "I'll slice it off." He grinned. "Listen," said the guy with the flag, "you can't get away with this." "Come on, girly," said Red, pushing her toward the rocks. Red and the girl disappeared behind the rocks. The guy with the flag helped his

friend up. They stood there. They stood there some minutes. "He's fucking Sally. What can we do? He's fucking her right now." "What can we do? He's a madman." "We should do something." "Sally must think we're real shits." "We are. There are two of us. We could have handled him." "He has a knife." "It doesn't matter. We could have taken him." "I feel god damned miserable." "How do you think Sally feels? He's fucking her."

They stood and waited. The tall one who had taken the punch was called Leo. The other was Dale. It was hot in the sun as they waited. "We've got two cigarettes left," said Dale, "should we smoke?"

"How the hell can we smoke when that's going on behind the rocks?" "You're right. My god, what's taking so long." "God, I don't know. You think he's killed her?" "I'm getting worried."

"Maybe I'd better have a look." "O.k. but be careful." Leo walked toward the rocks. There was a small hill with some brush. He crawled

up the hill behind the brush and looked down. Red was fucking Sally. Leo watched. It seemed endless. Red went on and on. Leo crawled down the hill and walked over and stood next to Dale.

"I guess she's all right," he said. They waited. Finally Red and Sally came out from behind the rocks. They walked toward them. "Thank you brothers," said Red, "she was a very fine piece." "May you rot in hell!" said Leo. Red laughed. "Peace! Peace! ... He flashed the sign with his fingers. "Well, I think

I'll be going . . ." Red rolled a quick cigarette, smiling as he wet it. Then he lit up, inhaled, and walked

off toward the north, keeping in the shade. "Let's hitchhike the rest of the way," said Dale. "Freights aren't any good." "The highway's to the west," said Leo, "let's go." They began moving toward the west. "Christ,' said Sally, "I can hardly walk! He's an animal!" Leo and Dale didn't say anything. "I hope I don't get pregnant," said Sally. "Sally," said Leo, "I'm sorry . . ." "Oh, shut up!" They walked. It was getting along toward evening and the desert heat was dropping

off. "I hate men!" said Sally. A jackrabbit leaped out from behind a bush and Leo and Dale jumped as it ran off. "A rabbit," said Leo, "a rabbit." "That rabbit scared you guys, didn't it?" "Well, after what happened, we're jumpy." "You're jumpy? What about me? Listen let's sit down a minute. I'm tired." There was a patch of shade and Sally sat between them. "You know, though ..." she said. "What?" "It wasn't so bad. On a strictly sexual basis, I mean. He really put it to me. On a

strictly sexual basis it was quite something." "What?" said Dale.

48

"I mean, morally, I hate him. The son of a bitch should be shot. He's a dog. A pig. But on a strictly sexual basis it was something . . ."

They sat there a while not saying anything. Then they got out the two cigarettes and smoked them, passing them around.

"I wish we had some dope," said Leo.

"God, I knew it was coming, said Sally. "You guys almost don't exist." "Maybe you'd feel better if we raped you?" asked Leo. "Don't be stupid." "You think I can't rape you?" "I should have gone with him. You guys are nothing." "So now you like him?" asked Dale. "Forget it!" said Sally. "Let's get down to the highway and stick our thumbs out."

"I can slam it to you," said Leo, "I can make you cry." "Can I watch?" asked Dale, laughing. "There won't be anything to watch," said Sally. "Come on. Let's go."

They stood up and walked toward the highway. It was a ten minute walk. When they got there Sally stood in the highway with her thumb out. Leo and Dale stood back out of view. They had forgotten the Viet Cong flag. They had left it back at the freight yard. It was in the dirt near the railroad tracks. The war went on. Seven red ants, the big kind, crawled across the flag.

i drove across the country in a beat up old car. I broke down about 5 times. Got marooned in Barstow for 2 weeks. Hitched a ride with a trucker at night in the Mojave. Pussys with nice cars can't complain

arkansas is the ugliest and flattest state i've ever driven through. oklahoma isn't any better except for the world's largest mcdonald's which is somewhere outside of tulsa i believe... the highway feeds through the middle of it. definitely worth a gander! and would you pass by the 900 ft jesus in the middle of nowhere?

i second this. was just in santa fe for a week, lots of nice grub and shops. wanted to get out to see some scenery, but never made it. it was freakin cold though, didn't realize it would be that cold there. i also didn't know it was so high up, something like 7000 odd feet elevation?
