Uh, what kind of trouble do you expect me to be getting into here? Mimi and CC - Yes, I happen to be a member of AAA for many, many years... I'm also having the Jeep serviced before I go, I have all my maps and plans laid out, I have all of the hotel reservations that are practical to have right now all taken care of, I am making time to say good bye to everyone I care about (and trying to not break down and cry every time), I've arranged to move my shift around at work on some of the last days so I can pack my truck for the journey and still keep going to work, and I'm managing to do this all by myself and still keep a sliver of sanity. I do have to admit though that I am still packing. Taking time to do all of the above things has gotten me behind considerably so I'm up late at night and up early in the morning to get it all done. I've survived on 4-5 hours of sleep for years as a student, so I guess I can do it now for something this important.

But, yes, absolutely YES, I am gonna let loose and have fun on my journey because I feel I earned it, baby. It took me a long time to get here in my life and I'm going to enjoy every moment of my roadtrip and my new life to the "fullest extent of the law". (yes, Kit, no further than that ) But if we do get crazy, we'll take pics, ok?

Y'all have a wonderful day and be safe.

Point well taken. *digs around for fake i.d. and alternate tags for the Jeep* Yup, I'm covered...

[kelownagirl]

So when are you two hitting the road? How long will you be travelling? Do you have a laptop or do you plan to stop in to internet cafes to give us updates? And when is the Cinderella? And finally, X - are you officially moving now? If so, how are you moving all your stuff - ie furniture etc? Is that coming along for the ride as well?

I need to know this stuff.

B...b...buh...b... but you said we'd <mumble, mumble> and <mumble, murmble>!!!
*huff*
Oh, and...
If we do get crazy, *no* pictures- c'mon, you know better than to incriminate yourself that way!!! (welllll at least not pics that'll go up here... )
If you do it right, the law allows quite a bit...
just bear in mind all the little weird things-
a group of 4 or more in Eugene who are not wearing socks may be dispersed by the police as an "orgy". It's illegal to own certain things in certain states except as a 'novelty' like a... uh... cake topper or something...
In California it's illegal to peel onions in hotel rooms, and No unoccupied vehicle may exceed 60 miles per hour.
In Texas, it's *specifically* illegal to graffiti someone else's cow.

We could have some really interesting adventures outside the confines of the law without really doing anything bad...

..y'know...
if the urge struck...

[chickwhorips]

No unoccupied vehicle may exceed 60 miles per hour.

i do wonder where that came from.

[KnottedYet]

Towing laws.

Can't tow an unoccupied vehicle with another vehicle, because the in-tow won't have braking or steering and at higher speeds that could be a very bad problem.

Most folks call a tow truck these days, so that law is probably getting out of date. (us old folks remember the days of towing a friend's car with a rope. Man, talk about dangerous for everyone in the vicinity!)

Edit to add that tow bars (the kind pulling cars behind RV's) are a different kettle of fish as they control the in-tow.
