IF YOU KNOW OF SOMETHING WE SHOULD CHECK OUT IN ANY OF THESE PLACES, DO TELL!
You go, girls!
A certain copyeditor/DJ you both know just moved to Pittsburgh a week or so ago. Maybe hang w/ him while you’re in town?
Have fun and be careful!
Love seeing this come to fruition! Have an amazing time.
You should open cook campfire in Yellowstone and take plenty of pictures. Keep your campfire under control. The rangers are quite strict about their park. My cousin Paul and I were kicked out of Yellowstone in June 1972 for having an out of control campfire. Ask Paul about that incident when you arrive Portland OR USA. Have a great trip!
Great idea. It will be fun to follow your trip. When you stop for lunch in Lawrence, you’ve got to eat at WheatFields Bakery Cafe http://www.wheatfieldsbakery.com Their food is fantastic.
If you stop in Indy we could meet for lunch at Three Sisters, which has lots of good vegetarian (http://www.3sisterscafe.wp.net/) and then go for a walk on the Monon (http://www.indianatrails.org/Monon_Indy.htm).
Hi guys……. Good luck with the 5K on Sunday ! When you get to Park City, Utah – if you have the time drive down to Moab and Canyonland… Also – Sun Valley, Idaho is a great town !!
Thank you for reminding me about the site! I’m so glad you actually did this! I wish I’d known you were going to be in Chicago . . . I see you are headed to Colorado. What towns will you be in?
I’ve been in Hailey, ID all week and fell in love with the Powerhouse Pub and Bike Shop–their food is amazing! Also, a great bike/run trail from Hailey to Ketchum. Can’t wait to see you in Boise.

Hi, Beth & Lindsey:

We record our segments for the program during the week, and we’d need you for only about ten minutes. Please drop me a line at your earliest convenience.
