So I'm heading back to Iowa from Alabama. I'm within 3 hours of home but after mistakenly putting all my faith in mapquest I took a long route. Besides music and caffeine, I want nothing more than alcohol and to shoot things. I finally have a phone that can access arfcom, I need entertained before I pull over buy a 12 pack and start shooting blades of grass

You should get a GPS.

Get a motel, hookers, and blow.
Plan on about 5 days.
It's about to snow heavily.

I wish I had one. I found out I have googlemaps on my phone, but trying to figure out how to use it I realized it didn't have a gps and I also missed my exit. Fuck me

If it was earlier, I would invite you by - that is if you're taking the best way to Iowa, I'm not far from Highway 61.

I like the idea, but backwoods iowa hookers are almost as bad as backwoods alabama. Basically the same but a few more teeth.

And not to sound inconsiderate...but I see your from Tennessee. I was 10 minutes into northern Alabama for Christmas and "y'all's" verson of heavy snow makes me chuckle :)

Which stretch of 61? I took 61 thru Hannibal and am going thru Mount Pleasant to 80. Rather than take 218 and hit 34 in Mt Pleasant it had me going through Fort Madison and picking up 34 in Burlington. Fuck

And to answer the question, ipod on shuffle. Crazy how you can start shuffle over 3 times and out of the 1500 songs I have it plays the same ones

I tried that today, it got me a half hour off course. Apparently my internal compass is fucked up. Or I'm drunk. But I'm not drunk. I wish

Near I-70.  I've driven the route to Mount Pleasant many times, way back before the road was improved and the bridge was a privately owned toll bridge.

Now you know why I don't use directions from the internet.  I've flown all over the US using a compass, clock, and a map.  Plus my brain and eyeballs.  I use maps on the road; I'll be the one that determines the route.  I use a compass at night or when the sun is too obscured to figure out which direction lies South.

Year before last I was going to a wedding just South of Chattanooga.  The internetz insisted the town where I was headed is located Northeast of Atlanta.  Not cool.
