Ok, I'm driving from Sacramento California to Ames Iowa, and was wondering if some poor soul would want to take pity on this one and let me (and possibly one other) surf on your couch for at least one night (intending to leave on august 10th using Hwy 50 east).

 

Also suggestions and advice for said road trip would be appriciated.

If you're settling for sleeping on a couch just sleep in your car man.

meh, couches have things called air conditioning and you can spread out.

It happened while you were sleeping on your bed. Didn't you notice something strange about your couch when you woke?

I'd say the answer to that question is kind of like the answer to "who's the sucker in this poker game?"*

I was too busy noticing the heating system that the recliner just installed.

 

 

BACK ON TOPIC SOMEONE FIND CALAX A COUCH TO SLEEP ON! internet friends unite!

Unfortunately there aren't a lot of forum members in that area between Sactown and Iowa. You'd have to go out of your way considerably.

 

On a side note, Wal-mart has a policy that allows you to spend the night in their parking lots legally.

Washington seems like it would be a bit off course for your trip.

Hey now, my mother is huge and don't you forget it. The drunk can't even get off the couch to make herself a vodka drenched sandwich. Octopus suck.

I've had a think and don't know anyone who could help (who isn't on this forum). Sorry, mate. But I'm sure you'll sort something!

tarna's dead; processing... complete. Disappointed by Universe. RIP Hades/Sand/etc. Here's hoping your next alt has a harp.

No cheap motels on the way? And again, sleeping in your car can't be *that* bad.

I'm going to to get my engineers to invent a combustible lemon that burns your house down!"

Well, Cheap motels are a given, but I'd prefer to save money as much as I can...

 

And understand, this is the trip that's taking all my stuff to college, my clothes, books, computer, luggage, bedding etc, all are gonna be packed in the back of my vehicle (which will be pretty small) so I won't exactly be able to stretch out in the back on the seat with that many boxes around.

It's only a 27 hour drive, get some Red Bull and man up, sleep is for wussies.

I don't know if you have done this before but 27 hours is a long time to drive. I mean I only did 22 and I was beat.

I did 24 once. It was pretty exhausting.

I say straight shot it - or invest in a very small u-haul, so you can transport your stuff back their and have plenty of room for sleeping in the car

I don't wanna do the "man up". I'm kinda thinking I'd do a few days of heavy driving, but I'd also have a few days where I look around and have fun at locations (denver for example)

taks and Aristes were on that general area, but I haven't heard from them in awhile. It's a shame, since they were my online drinking buddies.
