Specifically we are looking for:
- couches to crash on, if you know anyone in Kansas off of route 70/40 (at least as far west as Salina), Santa Fe, NM, or Flagstaff, AZ. (Hey, if you're lucky, we might even do our famous interpretive dance of the Lorax!)
- recommendations of delicious places to eat along our route (see below) - we do love to eat!
- suggestions for fun places to stop along the way - national parks, museums, quirky things, anything that will satisfy our not-so-inner nerds, etc.
Our route is (with routes/interstates in parentheses);
- New York-Columbus, OH (80 to 76 to 71)
- Columbus, OH-St. Louis, MO (70)
- St. Louis-Kansas (70)
- Kansas-Denver, CO (70)
- Denver-Santa Fe, NM (25)
- Santa Fe-Flagstaff, AZ (25 to 40)
- Flagstaff-Los Angeles (40 to 15)
We are also looking for help with our entertainment in the car! If you have a favorite radio station, let us know! And the most exciting and fun part...we're asking for musical sponsorship of parts of our drive! Make us a mix/playlist to get us through Kansas! Or a themed playlist to enter California! Our respective music collections are pretty heavy with Broadway and feminist folk, but we'd love to broaden that a little...
And if you'll be along our route between July 31 and August 7, let us know! We'd love to see you!
Feel free to share this and spread widely!!!!!!!
Love,
Miriam and Rachel
