Once again, the Finkenstadt caravan is about to start its holiday journey. It’ll be a repeat of the 2005 trip. Gotta get from New Jersey to Arizona in 4 days. Who’s riding along
Finkenstadt caravan to Phoenix!
- Thread starter RuRahRah2010
- Start date
A caravan should do it in 2. No need for sleepovers!!! Averaging 70 it’s 34-hours. Add in gas/food stops 40 hours MAX with multiple drivers per car.
Maybe if you're in your 20's. Any road trips at this point in life, my ass is getting a full night's sleep in a bed, extra day or two be damned lol.
I’m FAR from my 20’s and if I was in a car with 2 other drivers were plowing through no question lol!!
Anyone claiming to be Finkenstadt organizing a cross-country road trip is an imposter. Due to his horribly unfortunate behavior north of the border before, during and after the International Bowl, he wasn't ever allowed back into the US. He's a postman in Canada, has three kids and a parrot, and is a past president of the Jerome Messam fan club.
BOYZZZ
I’m here. I’m back. It’s cold but I’m warm. Let’s do this. 💕

AreYouNUTS can I stay at your place for the next 2-3 weeks like I did last year ?
This is some legendary shit
We got going on here
Ok - let’s get some specifics
37 hour Drive
I have a bus that seats 32.
The problem is I am not allowed to drive until 2028. It’s reliable and ready to go. Also - we can’t get pulled over and if we do you have to refer to me as Ronald Finstart and I forgot my ID. I have cash for gas - approximately $21,000 in cash. I cannot use any credit cards or cell phone. Im hoping I can build some relationships to keep me going until I can rejoin society in March of 2028… until then I don’t exist. As far as big brother knows I am living in the Mount Assiniboine range. We need to steer clear of any identification. I need 2-3 drivers.

****ing EPIC right here!!!
Can’t believe the Caravan is back.
The route might have to be a certain distance from a school zone for Fink.

We take the RV, stick to backroads, and head up to the game. One night. One game. Then we’re back in the mountains.
Beware. Even if it is him and he got back into the country (illegally I can assure you) it’s a trap. Finkenstadt absolutely can drive, he just doesn’t want to so that someone else can sit on his lap. The bus actually seats 31…and when 32 show up, take guess where someone sits.
Not liking this Second Mile kind of situation, Shelby got off the International Bowl - bound bus in Scranton and opted to hitchhike from there to Toronto instead.

It’s going to be a story. I need to make notes. The ending is “By the time they reached their destination, they weren’t strangers anymore.”
Plowing through the snow in the Rockies ? Not making it in 2 days.
Nobody is going through The Rockies! 2 ways to get 2 Phoenix: The beautiful route (Rockies) and the incredibly boring “southern” route. You can take the southern route make a left turn in Illinois going down through St. Louis, then across Oklahoma the top of Texas, New Mexico, and right to Phoenix. Pretty simple.

Better to take I-81 to I-40 in Tennessee, then take that to Flagstaff them down to Phoenix.
Either way there's NO need to go anywhere near The Rockies.
2 days …no way. Unless you’re one of the LeMans 24 Hour circuit drivers. lol
Not even a question it can be done in under 48-hours with multiple drivers only stopping for food/gas/etc. NONE. 2400 miles @ 70 MPH average (which is low) is ONLY 34 hours of ACTUAL driving time.
The Fink does. He loves going over bumpy roads especially when someone is sitting on his lap.
“I’m standing on a corner in Winslow, Arizona……”
I'm 62 and at least once a year I drive from CNJ to Vero Beach non-stop, except for a 2-3 hour stop to play a round of disc golf. Typically 18-19 hours depending on traffic and how big of a detour my round is. Bummed the Rate Bowl had such bad timing for me - would've been a fun drive.
I would have liked to have driven with you again, like we did to Orlando in 2012
As fast and easy as that drive down was, including snow from Metuchen to DC, the ride back was equally as long and freaking awful! Was talking to Eric about it at the basketball game last week how we managed to stop for fast food twice - Wendy’s in Arby’s IIRC - between Orlando and Jacksonville It took us so long lol!!!
