| And a highway shall be there; and a road, And it shall be called the Highway of Holiness. The unclean shall not pass over it, But it shall be for others. Whoever walks the road, although a fool, Shall not go astray. (Isaiah 35:8) |

| On The Road of Life there are drivers.............................. |
| And there are Road trippers. It takes a special person to be a road tripper. You have to have stamina behind the wheel, be able to manage your funds, and be able to handle any adversity that may come your way. Here are some road trips that have been done by our members. Andy and Miguel-Myrtle Beach 1999. 10 hours. how did they get there in 10 hours? Fast! CRX reached 131 on this trip. They slept in the car and played frisbee on the beach. A real male bonding experieince. Andy and Miguel-Philly-Atlantic City-NYC. "Dude, I didnt know Atlantic city had the world trade center?"-Andy. These 2 were so involved in racing Miguel's new 2000 civic si, they missed their 2nd stop(atlantic city). I think andy told his dad he was staying at a friends house. Not exactly a lie when you consider how much time Miguel spends in the Civic. Andy, Alex, Miguel-Vermont- This was in the summer. Andy set the current record for mooning at high speeds (115mph). ANdy and Miguel got a little too close to some Bulls and they became matadors of the green mountains. John, Alex, Andy-Vermont #2-This was a ski trip. Miguel, Andy-Sevilla Spain-This is not exactly a Road Trip but it was hard core. Alex, BO, Miguel Key West- Alex, Bo and Miguel saw many fine lookin southern ladies on this trip. They collectively were awarded "Punce of the Year" honors when they refused an invitation to go into a club with some girls. Miguel apparently talked about Jes alot on this trip, and that is ok. They saw a diablo, a viper, 3-911 turbos, a ferrari 360 Moderna, and 2 NSX's. Miguel hit a curb so they had to ride a donut down to SC. They also raced a white minivan on the highway. They wouldn't let Miguel or alex or Bo stay at the hotel because they don't like Jews, Puerto Ricans or BO's. As a challenge to Andy, they became the closest to CUBA of any DDCB member, Key west is only 90 miles away. Bo bummed an old lady. And they all got hit on by gay men at Key West. Karl and DJ-NYC - In the wee hours of an august night, Karl and DJ departed Rochester in the yellow CRX. They drove all night and got to NYC in 5 hours and 20 minutes. The CRX reached 125. When Karl fell asleep at the wheel, DJ responded by hitting him in the head. Karl was like "Why you hittin me B?" They did not get their fake ID's but DJ did take a knee inside CRX on 5th ave. into a bottle. They visited the manhattan salvation army and ate some good NY style pizza. Round trip took 18 hours. The lechners to Florida- The whole Lechner clan went on this trip down to the beaches of the Florida coast. Mr. Lechner is the man. |

| "Well, you win some and....then.....there are some you don't win" Road Trips don't always work out well. Andy and Miguel were going to NJ to see a Z that was for sale there. Andy was driving because Miguel had to eat. Miguel was late so they had to make up time. Miguel took advantage of Andy's strong tendency to "follow the crowd" and told him to drive faster. They were pulled over while Andy was at a speed of 111mph. Andy was proud of the ticket and says he was driving the civic the way a sports car should be driven. When they got to NJ the car they were looking at didn't work when they got there. They still had some good times on the way, Fo sheezay! |

| The Great Canadian Road Trip |
|
| The trip had been months in the making. Ideas started to sprout in the cold winter months as the young DDCB members dreamed of sunshine. They thought of such destinations as California, Mexico, New Orleans, and Myrtle Beach. As the young lads returned from college a whole year wiser, they convened on the lawn chairs and decided on a 6 day, 5 city excursion around the Great lake of Ontario. The Venture was packed with supplies such as lawnchairs, sleeping bags, food, and a camcorder. The four young men (Alex, Miguel, Karl and DJ) all had different expectations about what the trip would bring but they all had one common thought...........19 year old drinking age! With the car packed they headed off west. After about 1.5 hours they stopped in Buffalo at the World famous "Anchor Bar" The birthplace of Buffalo Wings. They took a knee and headed for Niagra falls and its great casino. When they reached the city, they paid 12 canadian dollars to park the van in a garage. They headed into the Casino where inside the lobby they were vigorously ID'd and molested by guards. The young men played the odds with alex turning $5 dollars into $20 and with Miguel leaving empty handed. Miguel was heard saying, "It is always the whiteman". With smiling faces they headed off to find the nearest liquor store. The LCBO proved to be the "pot of gold at the end of the rainbow" for them. Karl and DJ shared a mini-keg of a German brew while Miguel and Alex chose more exotic drinks. The 4 retired inside the van at around 1am. They got their 12 dollars worth out of the parking spot. The next morning they headed off towards Toronto. The sight of the CN tower was sweet. They spent the day in search of fake ID's along Yonge St. After about 5 hours all hope seemed lost. Miguel sat down and peered into the sky for help. A smile as wide as the island of Perto Rico stretched across his face as he glimpsed at his salvation. They all got fake Connecticut IDs for 30 American dollars. (yes, they do work at Foodmart.) The day was a success and Miguel also found a Marche. Alex got sick from excesively smoking a Cuban cigar and we all took showers at a YMCA type place. That night they went to the King St. Area and looked for a hotel. They did not find one. They spent a 2nd night in another garage, in the van. Next stop, OTTOWA!, What the hell is Ottowa? It is the Nation's capital city. There was a very disturbing opera type concert going on while the men were in the city so they only stayed about 4 hours. They took several knees and moons were all around. Karl had fun with Pigeons. They left for Montreal that day. In Montreal they drove on Sherbrooke st. all the way thru the city. When they finally found their hotel it was booked. Karl was visibly upset and the rest were ready to start drinking. As DJ pulled te car over on St. Denis and pulled out the map a sudden rush of energy came over the van. IT"S GO TIME! The van busted a U and sped off down Sherbrooke st. The Le Marquis was their home for the next 3 nights. DJ pre-gamed with Kilkenny and Miguel with wine. They took a bus to st. Denis to cruise the bar scene. Karl and Miguel were chillin with some Coronas as Miguel spotted some mysterious blonde streaks. They walked home 7k that night. The next day they went to the Casino during the day and the market to get some eats. Miguel picked out another fine bottle of wine. Karl found his beloved Labatt Wildcat which he and DJ shared and enjoyed while Miguel drank himself silly with a litre of wine. The boys then drove to St. Catherines and enjoyed an evening at the local gentleman's club. The next night DJ was DD. Karl felt bad so he offered to buy DJ a drink at the bar that night.....wait.....does that make sense.....? It was a quiet night but they still enjoyed a nice night and drank some more wine. They found a 99c pizza place where they would also eat breakfast before departing the following morning. There was only one tense moment as they passed through customs with Cuban Cigars and fireworks hidden in the van. It took about 5 hours to get back to Rochester. The trip ended back at Miguel's house where DJ took a knee behind Miguel's bushes and Karl bummed the civic. |
