Chiefs Who's making the drive for the game tomorrow? - Page 3

Simplicity · 01-11-2019, 10:18 PM

Some buddies and I have spontaneously bought 4 tickets for section 310 due to the prices being more affordable for us college students (the weather does have its perks)... We are making the trip down from Cedar Falls, IA and I'm a little bit curious if anyone else on here is making a 4-5 hour trip to the game. If so what time ya'll departing and where from? I am nervous about the drive down due to the weather KC is and will be experiencing but this will be my 2nd trip like this as I was in attendance for the Chiefs/Steelers divisional game when there was worry about ice and road conditions. So just curious who else in braving the drive down (or up)!!

Not really. The whole drive is flat which gets a lot of snow blowing across the roads and creates the slick spots.

I'm shocked that people know that Correctionville exists. 007 and I stopped there on our Iowa barnstorming tour this summer.

Well, I do live here. So, like, looking at barns?

After consulting a map I see it is pretty close to Sioux City. We got there via LeMars and Cherokee so it seemed like a long way away.

Not so much looking at barns but I'm sure we saw a few. Mostly hitting up bike trails and chasing down Freedom Rocks, and whatever we found in between.

Got ya. Had a barn story if that was your thing.

Le Mars, did you hit up Bob's for hot dogs?

Not sure what a freedom rock is, but if it is in memoriam, check out brunsville sometime. On memorial day if possible.

Edit - didn't really need to see your crotch

Hey my junk stayed put! You live in Iowa and you don't know what a Freedom Rock is? Nearly every county has one somewhere.

**Bugeater** · 01-11-2019, 11:57 PM

Oh, and we had ice cream at the Blue Bunny museum in LeMars. Didn't have lunch until we got to Cherokee.

I'm bored so regale me with your barn story.

**ptlyon** · 01-12-2019, 12:07 AM

OK, yes I do know what they are. Yes, that's cool and cool you guys did it!

Not really much of a story, but a gal we knew in Wynot, NE made a calendar of pictures of barns around the northeast Nebraska area. Extremely cool. Pictures were outstanding. Unfortunately she passed away like a year later. She was young too.

If you ever make it up this way again, drop a line!

Simply Red · 01-12-2019, 12:11 AM

Ughh - I hate hearing it's that bad.

We drove through NE Nebraska after we left Yankton and I was blown away with how nice that area was so I imagine she had some impressive pictures. We're planning on moving to Wyoming sometime this year but I do still want to get up that way before I leave. I'll definitely holler if I do.

Be careful.

Very sweet of you. (At this moment) you seem nice.

Damn.

Hopefully to retire! Hell, we've been somewhat close to getting together before, maybe we can do it before you go.

Northeast Nebraska is a beautiful area. About as hometown as hometown you can get. Made some GREAT friends over there through the years.
