ROADTRIP. \m/

[caithream]

Alright, SO, I didn't want say anything until it was a sure thing, but!! idril_telrunya, flusteredspeech and myself are going on a 8 day roadtrip next month to Missoula, Montana, Seattle, Washington, VANCOUVER, BC, and Glacier National Park. LIKE, !!!!!!!!! HOLY SHIT, OKAY. ROADTRIP. I'VE BEEN WANTING TO DO ONE FOR SO LONG. IN MOUNTAINS AND BEAUTIFUL PLACES. Basically, our tentative plan is this:

- I fly into Salt Lake City (where idril_telrunya lives) on the July 23rd.
- We leave bright and early on the 24th to drive up to Missoula, Montana where flusteredspeech lives. Spend the day there, do amazing Montana things!
- Leave again bright and early the next morning for a 7-10 hour drive to Seattle, Washington. The easiest route would be to take I-90 and get there quicker, but we're gonna take I-2 instead, going the more scenic route. There's this town on the way called Leavenworth that's Bavarian and is apparently AMAZING, so we're gonna stop there too.
- Sometime that night arrive in Bellevue, where the amazing spazzbot lives, and crash at her place for a little.
- Go see Seattle and PIKE'S PLACE and the first STARBUCKS and EVERYTHING on the 26th and die everywhere because OMG.
- Leave for VANCOUVER on the morning of the 27th, TO SEE WHAT WE CAN SEE. So, okay, this is where I need you guys' help. I KNOW there is a community somewhere on LJ where people update with filming locations and where the SPN crew was last spotted. Does anyone remember what it's called? Also, if anyone has any info (or another community) of places where they've filmed past episodes (like the church in Houses of the Holy, or the bridge that Constance Welch haunted in the Pilot) that would be AWESOME. I suppose it wouldn't hurt to check out Burnaby, even though it's a closed studio and they don't let anyone in, heh. ANY and ALL information you could could help us with would be awesome!
- I THINK we'll leave on the night of the 28th, or maybe reeeeaaally early on the 29th. Drive and drive and DRIVE back east to Glacier National Park (half in Montana and half in Alberta) and sight see for a bit. Drive all the way back down south to drop flusteredspeech off, and then back to Salt Lake. I fly out on the 31st.

BUT, there is a slight problem.

Comic Con, and the Supernatural panel, is definitely on July 27th, the day we get into Vancouver. SIIIIIGH. Now, there's no official word yet that they boys are gonna be there, but isn't it just HILARIOUS that it happens to be that exact same day. So if we DO get offical word that they'll both be there, we're gonna have to step it up. Probably leave Missoula after a seven hour drive from Salt Lake a couple hours after we get there instead of hanging around the whole day and getting some rest. Another seven hour drive on that same day (well into night) to arrive in Bellevue, and then do Seattle on the 25th, leave that night to Vancouver. That way we'll have the 26th, 27th, and 28th to hang around Vancouver, and if both boys DO go, I would think they'd want to get in as much filming before they left and they'd be doing something on the 26th. I HOPE. I mean, our whole trip is NOT centered around stalking Jared and Jensen (OR IS IT??), it would just be the icing on the cake. So yeah. That'll most likely be our best bet.

BUT YES, if anyone could spare some helpful info about Vancouver, filming, or just things that we CANNOT miss (or should DEFINITELY miss) along I-2, Seattle, Vancouver, or Glacier, that would be awesome! I'm taking my hardcore huge camera, so there will be a LOT of pictures. And Chrissy is definitely thinking about buying a camcorder to film our lame asses, which might be HILARIOUS. Oh God I'm so excited. SO EXCITED. :D


In other news, if you have not tried Sabra hummus (Supremely Spicey, THANK YOU VERY MUCH) and triscuits, you have not yet reached enlightenment. So good flajsldjasd.

I'm not much of a 'nature' person per se but it sounds like you'll have a wonderful time and I'm excited for you! :-)

Are just a small handful of starting points.

Eh, Dina beat me on the comms for stalking the set, lol. But I just gotta say, WHY THE HELL COULDN'T I HAVE MET YOU A YEAR AGO?!?! Seriously, you are me, just a year later. I was supposed to go to Vancouver, same damn weekend as ComicCon last year as well, and because the person I went w/ was a bit less rational than you, I ended up NOT going to Vancouver (she didn't want to go anymore cause the boys were supposedly not going to be there at all that weekend, except they TOTALLY WERE) and kinda wasting a trip to ComicCon since Jared didn't even show up (I love Jensen and all, but that panel wasn't that interesting). I actually wanted to see the CITY, not JUST try to stalk the boys. But noooooo. I so need to travel w/ you next time.

Yes, I am still bitter, lol.

[caithream.livejournal.com]

You are so awesome. SO AWESOME. Thank you so much! :D

[caithream.livejournal.com]

HAHA AWW BABE. What's funny is I know exactly who you're talking about AHAHA. Yeah, I dunno, I'm a little wary about the Comic Con thing, since I think it still says "tentative" where the info is about any guests coming. I'm crossing my fingers! And dude, I plan on moving to Salt Lake sometime within the next year or two, so if ever you want to come visit we'll TOTALLY do a roadtrip together to Vancouver! :D

[lfg1986.livejournal.com]

Lol, yeah I figured you knew who I was talking about, so I wasn't gonna name anyone. But yeah...

Yeah, the timing does suck as far as Comic Con goes, but really, they just fly in, do their thing, and fly back. It's not like Creation or EyeCon where they stick around for the weekend, so hopefully you'll get a chance to stalk them at least a LITTLE, lol. ;)

And ooooh, we so totally should!! Wheeee! :D

I haven't been to Vancouver in years. The only thing I remember is Victoria (the island) is worth visiting if you have extra time. If it's still there, the salmon hatchery is fascinating. Richmond is lots of fun, from personal experience. Never been there but the museum of anthropology looks good too.

For places to avoid, east Vancouver especially along Hastings. I think a lot of people know this but I'm telling just in case.

[caithream.livejournal.com]

Ooh, museum of anthropology! Awesome! If we have time we might have to check that out.

East Vancouver, got it. Thanks much!

I mean, our whole trip is NOT centered around stalking Jared and Jensen (OR IS IT??)
FALSE! YOU LYING LIAR WHO LIES!!!!!!!!!! jk! ...or am I?

Mannnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn! Why can't I live in awesome parts of the US of A so I can meet awesome people like yourself? UGH! Stupid East Coast. And things. BUT OMG HAVE SO MUCH FUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! \o/

[unperfectwolf.livejournal.com]

You are coming to see me. And I will take you around BC if you want. Or, like, point you to all the spots they have filmed that I know. And I know alot, since I live 20 miles south of canada.

[caithream.livejournal.com]

OKAY SO MAYBE IT'S A LITTLE BIT TRUE. TELL NO ONE OMG.

DUDE, I live in FLORIDA. East coast reprezennnt. I just like to fly a lot, heee.

[caithream.livejournal.com]

Omg yes! That would be amazing! YAY! So, UH, what's the weather like in your neck of the woods during the end of July? Somehow I have a feeling I'll be taking a jacket or two with me anyway, HAHA.

[unperfectwolf.livejournal.com]

Um, jeans and a teeshirt? :P I wear flipflops or barefeet from april til october.....

[caithream.livejournal.com]

Hee, for me, cold is anything below 70. Florida makes you wimpy!

[quidditchkiss.livejournal.com]

I PROMISE, BB. I PROMISE.

So I'm going to be in Flordia(Pensacola, to be exact) in October for a friends birthday. I should totally swing by and like... stalk you, right? *whistles*

[unperfectwolf.livejournal.com]

It will probably be warmer than that. But that is whimpy. I go barefoot at 50 sometimes. its nice.

[caithream.livejournal.com]

DO IT! Pensacola's about, um, six hours away from here, but I enjoy a good roadtrip like anyone, AS YOU CAN SEE.

[idril-telrunya.livejournal.com]

YAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAY!!! And POO on ComicCon. I'm over it. They are lame and NO ONE SHALL GO! *nods* I decided therefor it is true. I am that magical. Heee!

Haha well then TEXT ME if you do!

PS, you'll never guess what me and my Photoshop are molesting right now, HA HA HAAAAAA.

[marishna.livejournal.com]

The pilot was filmed in LA so you won't see the bridge there, but I remember there being someone who did a break down of the sets from season 1, I think, and how parts that were in the show were actually NOT from what city.

Um, I'm not making sense in the least. Maybe the super wiki would have links?

[flusteredspeech.livejournal.com]

I'm a fan of this post because I'm all "Oh, hi, THAT'S what we're doing!" I love how planny you guys are, it makes it so much easier for me to just, like, show up in Florida and have you tell me what we're doing! Or, like, sit around at home waiting for you guys to show, and then having you tell me what we're doing! I'M SCATTERBRAINED, it's a good thing I have you around. <333

(p.s. HOMG.)

[flusteredspeech.livejournal.com]
