“If you don't know where you are going, any road will get you there.” Lewis Carroll
What started as a typical throwaway idea has to all of our amazement turned into reality. As with most ideas in Milwaukee this one started with copious amounts of drinks during a late night gathering. The discussion turned to the groups shared enjoyment of the open road and quirky destinations each has visited on the way. Who first posited the idea of taking a road trip with no set destination - just random stops found by the travelers on the road - is unfortunately lost to history, but thankful the idea actually took root.
A few weeks later the group got back together to lay out some much need ground rules for this trip. The basic rules are as follows:
The date was set for Friday, April 23 and the five travelers - Kate, Chris, Lish, Beets and Ben - hope you follow us as we update you on our unplanned travels throughout the Midwest!
A few weeks later the group got back together to lay out some much need ground rules for this trip. The basic rules are as follows:
- Destinations must be within two hours driving time (according to Google Maps) from the previous destination.
- While going to one person’s destination, the next person will be told the zip code of the upcoming destination.
- Said person will then research the next location, but will not tell any other travelers the next destination.
- This cycle will repeat itself as many times as possible throughout the weekend until we have to turn back for home.
- Every destination must have something to do, lasting between 30 to 90 minutes.
- You cannot go down the same road twice, if at all possible.
