What’s the farthest out of your way you’ve gone to mark something off a list

I rented a U-Haul pickup in Fairbanks, AK., to spend a day on the infamous Dalton Highway and get inside the Arctic Circle. Few companies that rent vehicles will let you drive it on the Dalton. So I had a car rental (out of Anchorage) and truck rental at the same time.

I drove 25-30% of the highway. Would love to do the whole thing one day.

Drove with a buddy from Houston to Chicago in a big moving van. Only went along for the ride because we stopped in Memphis for 2 days. Flew back home.

I remember that thread. Looked like it was worth it. By the way, I’ll be in Boston for a bit next week. Staying in the back bay. Might be able to grab a beer wed or Thursday if you are around. Plans a little in flux. Client dinners but also trying to get to Fenway. Will probably be back in October.

To the poster above, I think I would enjoy the game. Not so much the driving or the extra day sleeping in a hotel (particularly that I’m paying for). But game would be fun. And I do get some satisfaction out of marking it off the list. I know others might find that odd but to each their own I guess.

I’m doing the whole baseball stadium thing too. Kaufman stadium is worth it. Very underrated stadium. I flew to Pittsburgh to catch 3 games in April. I have flown to Chicago for 2 cub games, a white Sox game and to see Chicago. When I went to New York for 11 days, I went to a Mets and a Yankees game. Boston will be next to see a Red Sox game

Nice. Hit me up on my email for sure.

Rented a car in Cabo San Lucas to drive up to La Paz, in order to get a photo at the sign that said "Tropico de Cancer".

And you MLB stadium/game chasers.... to each their own. That bullshite was fun in my late teens and early 20s, but screw that noise. If you were talking CFB.. then yea, I could get behind that.

Yes (busted alter). Great views, sense of accomplishment, made good friends with my group, and it’s one of those countries I developed a great relationship with.

Not really out of the way to see anything in particular, but a few years ago the wife and I drove back to Birmingham from Asheville NC using only back roads, no interstates. Saw some interesting sights and towns along the way.
