March 2, 200422 yr along I-80 in Iowa is a good route if parts might be needed.... I have a few in Des Moines.
March 2, 200422 yr Author sorry we wont be going that particular way, but i appreciate the offer, so i may take you up on any parts as i plan to come to Midwest II
March 2, 200422 yr Author kentucky is south, we will be heading west toward chicago. but kentucky is close enough we can come down for a weekend, work on your soobs!
March 4, 200422 yr whats the main mission on this trip? if you stop by my house, better give yourself at least an hour =]
March 4, 200422 yr Main mission is to retrieve Trashwagon 5 from Montana. I'm shooting a DV documentary about it. -Tim Hansen
March 6, 200422 yr of course. what year rx you guys driving? i could use a good pic of the mpfi engine installed by the factory. as your lawyer, i advise you to hide all contraban well. minneapolis is nice, you dont have to worry bout getting pulled over ever!
March 8, 200422 yr Hold tight, everyone. We're T-minus TEN DAYS and counting. If you want in on this grand adventure, speak up now! I'm rounding up last-minute supplies. If anyone on the trip itinerary has junky camcorders they wish to contribute to the cause, or lapel/lavalier microphones, Soob parts, road food, gasoline cards, or general karmic goodwill, please make it known to us. How excited am I about this? I'm not sleeping well. Other demands in my life are being neglected. Yet I remain cool and confident, secure in the knowledge that this will just absolutely totally ROCK, no matter what lurks in wait for us in the mysterious and bewildering unknown! -Tim Hansen [the filmmaker]
March 8, 200422 yr Author i am kind of thinking that on the way back, since we will be stopping in minnesota and south dakota, that we may deviate the ame route back, but through iowa, illinois, depending on how we stretch our money, we have a full week and a weekend to do all this
March 9, 200422 yr there is an outside chance I'll be in Missoula around 3/21-3/26, if that happens I'll leave word on the board. Break a leg boys and keep it below 80mph in ol' montucky (interstate speed limit: 75)
March 9, 200422 yr Author cool, if you are in that area., get ahold of mt smiths and MSSLGECKO, so we can all meet at once, be more convenient, and you will get a chance to peep the ol' TRASHWAGON pm or email me with the specifics as they come i predict i will be there sunday morning, no lter than sunday eve/mon morning, depending on our stops along the way, and if we decide our stops to be met on the way back instead, we may be there saturday evening well, anyway, that is my estimation of when to be there. we can make a stop in missoula, call everyone, and go from there.....
March 10, 200422 yr Good Luck boys, I got to see your car during the last wc show so I understand that it's TOTALLY worth rescuing! Good luck and DON'T SPEED! :-p

March 11, 200422 yr Also, due to the recent chicanes in public discourse around here, this thread will probably become the central discussion of the upcoming Miles Fox road trip and documentary on the USMB. One week from tomorrow, ladies and gentlemen, one week from tomorrow! -Tim Hansen
March 11, 200422 yr Author we can still access the thread from here http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=11396&highlight=road+trip+ii we can use this thread to post replies, or post replies to the link if it will let you. i will be posting updates on the original thread, as long as we can still get to it from here..
March 16, 200422 yr Author run and hide, lock your doors we will be stopping off in the minneapolis area. we plan to be there 12hrs from when we depart. we plan to leave early in the morning as possible. from there we will sake some side routes back to the highway, closer to soux falls SD. our longest hauls are going to be South Dakota and Wyoming. we will make a flat out run, rotating drivers and sleep. i figure it will be a full day's driving from soux falls to montana. if this all plays out right, we will be ready to meet my car on sunday morning The NORTHERN rout we will dismiss, we will backtrack to wyoming, and cut south to i 80 thru NEBRASKA, IOWA. we will be making some stops along the way in iowa. from what it looks western nebraska is pretty much desolate.
March 16, 200422 yr if you need anything around the missoula area lemme know, i'm 40 mins south. good luck and enjoy!
March 16, 200422 yr I wish you had been around in September when I broke down about 30 miles south of Missoula, heh. Originally posted by suba if you need anything around the missoula area lemme know, i'm 40 mins south. good luck and enjoy!
