HoarfrostHubb Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 Yeah I've driven for over a year. I've done 1-2 hour drives and its NBD. The only reason I don't do longer drives to places is my parents get too nervous lol. I have a car that I get to use until I go to college next year and then it's my brothers except when I come home on breaks. I would like to go to the conference at some point...maybe next year after one year of college if I find someone who will want to go. The only thing I don't like about longer drives (2 hours+) is what it does to my back. Just kills it the last few years. When we head north to NH or down to RI I bring one of those back heaters. If I drop 60 lbs like Blizz did that might help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N.

Clinch Leatherwood Posted April 26, 2012 Author Share Posted April 26, 2012 lol @ complaining about a 100 mile drive. If the issue is legitimately $ for gas...that's one thing. If you have to be home for your kids game at night....that's one thing. But if someone is complaining about it just because they don't want to drive 2 hours, that's dumb. 2 hour drives are nothing. I think it's more the having a few drinks and taking a 100 mile drive that is understandable. It's stupid actually to do. JMHO. We've got one of the greatest cities in the country in Boston, a great party spot like Newport and a great place like Plymouth with one of the better waterfronts in the region...... or we can do the summer hotspot of worcester again. Foxwoods/Mohegan...fine by me too. Plymouth center isn't that close to me, it's about 21/22 miles. Quincy would be about 40-45, Boston another 5-10. I'd do any of those spots.

mattb65 Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 I like the idea of Plymouth or Marina Bay but June and May are both real hit or miss so it'll depend on the weekend everyone chooses. I think either location would be a good time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baroclinic Zone Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 Moat. Haven't climbed that yet. It's on my list to do the traverse from one end to the other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NECT Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 Haven't climbed that yet. It's on my list to do the traverse from one end to the other. Moat Mt. Brew Pub. No climbing necessary. Good food, good beer. Someday, I have to make one of these. I just have to convince my bride that after 16+ years of marriage, it's necessary for me to go to a bar to hang out with guys who talk about weather on the internet. It's a bit of a tough sell.

Yeah when I was a freshman we went up August 27 and started school August 29. However we get a full week break for Columbus day and a full week for thanksgiving. Then after going back January 23ish get a full week in late February and early April. Our classes end next week. Overall I love our break schedule and I know you'll absolutely love getting out wayyyyy earlier than in high school. You can go visit friends younger than you and just laugh hahah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't wait for high school to be over. 3 more weeks of classes and then finals (although I only have 1 final since you can avoid them if you get at least a B+).

ski MRG Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 I've heard the ocean smells bad during the summer months. We should keep it in the mountains where the air is clean and fresh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
