So I'm taking a ginormous road trip with my wife and kid that will include some discing between national parks. Sometimes they'll join me on the course but often I'll be solo, especially for the monster courses. Our route starts in NorCal, heads to Charlotte, then north to the Poconos (PA) and back home through Chicago and Yellowstone. We'll be camping as much as possible along the way.
Questions: Often I'm looking for playing partners since it's often tough to navigate a course the first time alone. I'm also looking for course suggestions along the way. And comments too, b/c it's too big of a task to search reviews of all the courses along the way, etc.
Southern Utah -Base Camp Adventure Lodge - I'm not driving the rental minivan out on that road, right? Water taxi? Is it doable as a day trip from Moab? Anyone want to join me? Approx 6/28
Colorado (from 4 corners to Denver through Great Sand Dunes NP)
Phantom Falls/Beaver Ranch double -- Would like to meet up at one or the other and get a ride between courses. Looks like a big day to play both but looks totally doable! Approx 7/3
Oklahoma -Pawhuska- It happens to be on our way, close to a cool park, and looks like great hucking! Approx 7/6.
From Pawhuska, we're heading to Buffalo River National Park, AR by way of Heavener, OK. Suggestions here for sweet camping or discing?
Memphis -Bud Hill? -- how far out of one's way is it worth it to play this course? Must get BBQ in Memphis.
Muscle Shoals area -- perhaps a couple of days here with family. 7/10
Flyboy (7/11?) to IDGC -- I still have to email kelly, but ideally, one night in the hanger and then off to the disc golf HoF!
Augusta to Savannah to Charlotte -- no plans to throw on this leg yet. Suggestions?
Charlotte Area --I'll be staying with my sister and with worlds it'll be a challenge to play the best courses. But since I played the worlds courses ahead of the 2011 worlds, I feel like I owe it to myself to play the best of Charlotte worlds. Which 3 courses would be can't miss for worlds?
Blue Ridge Parkway, VA to Shenandoah, NP (7/20) -- no plans to huck here. Suggestions to camp/b&b/huck?
D.C. to the Poconos, PA -- Tyler State Park is so right along the way and it's in the top 10. Approx 7/23.
West from the Poconos to Rock 'n Roll HoF and Bowling Green, OH. -- not sure what to do here. Northern PA camping/scenic drives vs. I-80 flythrough. We have a place to stay in BG, but this leg is wiiide open. Suggestions for camping or discing or sightseeing?
Chicago! -- no time for anything here other than Italian Beef!
Big Choice here -- backtrack to MI and head up through Flip City to the UP or continue north to Milwaukee and into WI? Thoughts??? Flip 8/1?
The plan is to hit Highbridge and Blue Ribbon Pines on the way to the Dakotas and Yellowstone, up to Glacier NP then directly home.
Half of the top 10 in one road trip? Not too shabby. Your input is valued, thanks for taking the time to read an already too long post.
