Leaving this weekend to start driving across the country! I'm very excited but also a bit nervous over the things that could go wrong between here and 3000 miles from here. But it will be unforgettable either way. Planned stops include: Chicago, Yellowstone, Badlands, Glacier, and a few other national parks. Going to be doing a lot of camping and also going to at least one brewery in every state I drive through.

I'm not expecting to be on Hubski much between this weekend and a week and a half-ish after that, so have a good end of the month everybody.

1) Set up one-off Instagram

2) Tell at least one of us what it is

3) Choose your selected tag

4) Give at least one of us permission to share your adventures

5) Take pictures two or three times a day.

Seriously. Probably the most popular I've ever been on facebook was when I was driving up from Los Angeles to Seattle the slow way for my wedding. All I did was take pictures two or three times a day and list the mileage.

Then when you get back, you will see the GIANT ONSLAUGHT of everyone who missed you.

That's a fantastic idea, I'll make a post about it (OH HEY I CAN MAKE IT AN EVENT!) sometime tomorrow with that information. Wouldn't have thought of that, thanks!

Nice. Highway 90 I assume? Be sure to take your time in Glacier. One of the prettiest parts of the U.S.

Ha, I live in Chicago! How long are you stopping by for? If you need any food recommendations, let me know.

And I'm jealous of all your other stops. I've been dying to go on a road trip recently, but it's kind of hard between work and not having a car.

ButterflyEffect  ·  3532 days ago  ·  link  ·  

We'll be in Chicago and the surrounding area for two days and two nights. I know we're doing Yolk one day and stopping by some of the breweries such as Mad Mouse and Hopothesis, any recommendations are very welcome!

It's a moving road trip whoooooooooo, all I'm hoping for is good weather and for my car to make the trip.

There's also Revolution Brewery, they just opened their tap room recently. There's also the Goose Island brewery/pub but it's kinda touristy. Once you're going west I recommend stopping off at Two Brothers either location shouldn't be too far out of the way and the food and beer are amazing. Just a warning though, they can get super crowded, especially around happy hour.

It's a toss up between Little Goat and Bacon n Eggs for my favorite brunch place in the city, but I know Yolk seems up keep opening up new locations, so they must be doing something right.

I wish you luck on your move and hope it's as enjoyable as possible!

A good roadtrip is salve for the soul. Safe travels!

Safe travels! I look forward to your trip report. If you go to Glacier, have a swim in Lake MacDonald for me. It's been years!

If you go to Missoula, have a shot of whiskey at the East Gate Lounge and put on Tom Pettys version of Something in the Air, on the jukebox.

Ah, no Missoula but we are stopping by Helena, do you know that town at all?

And will do with Lake MacDonald, we should be very close to it at one point while we're in Glacier.

No, I don't think I have ever been to Helena.
