48 Staes in 48 days

[Paul Varrasso]

Bowling in the USA

Hello all,

I don't know if this is completely appropriate for this site, but I, with some friends are looking to embark on ten pin bowl in 48 states in 48 days. A mammoth task, I know... But it's a challenge that'll mix our passion for bowling and a good old fashioned road trip. We might try and do it for charity...
Below I've a rough list of the places in each state at which we're looking to bowl. The selections are based on places we want to go to, and more realistically the easiest possible route from one state to another. The hitch of course is the town has to have an alley. What I'm looking for is advice from people as to whether you think it's doable. Or perhaps better ways to do it. I'd also like websites for hiring a cadillac and a campervan. Also the places that I have * are ones that don't have an alley. If anyone knows of an alternate places nearby that do, we'd love to know about it.

Please don't take the piss ok. This is a serious project, so helpful advice would be much appreciated. Oooooh and if anyone knows of any great bowling alleys (I mean ma and pa types, weird and wonderful types) in any of the places listed then please let us know.

Typical negative bullshit attitude, what have you ever done in your life that's different, most likely nothing,

Sounds like something they'll remember and talk about the rest of their lives, they should do it and enjoy it.

Don't pay any attention to the negative down people of which there's plenty of out there. There the ones that don't have a life, on their death bed there look back and see nothing, what a waste of life most of them have.

To be negative and un eventfull is to be a looser.

You should join them too Jackie since you have a nothing life. Nice to tell your grandchildren one day. I toured the country for bowling alleys. Wait for the laugh or the remark. Why, grandpa?

I guess your that close minded type of person that believes only you know what's right, only you know what's not a waste of time, only you know what's worth while.

Give it up, everyone has the right to their own likes and dislikes, yours only count and are good for you, or is that to hard to understand.

What's with all the negativity?? Bowling 48 states in 48 days may seem pretty rediculous to some people. But it's not all about bowling either. Most of the stories that will last long after the fact may have little-to-no bearing on bowling. It's all about good people and good times. It doesn't matter if it's bowling, golf, swimming, or bird grooming.

Now if you had sex in every state that would be an achievement.
