The final days of McDonald's?

Does that mean staying at least a night in all 50 states or just driving through?

 

Has to include a stop and get out and walk around. Driving through doesn't count and neither do the state's I went to as a kid and don't or barely remember.

My cutoff point is 16 or when I got my license and it doesn't include an overnight stay but I do like to buy something. Usually the local paper.

I'm 45 and have 13 states left. So my clock is ticking.

Alaska and Hawaii remain alongh with most of the upper Midwest Big Sky country. Then some scattered states here and there.

It is doable.

 

A cruise to Alaska doesn't count, Jay. An Alaska trip must include:

1. Drinking with locals
2. Hundreds of mosquito bites, and
3. Use of an outhouse

 

Almost knocked Alaska out earlier this year. She had a work trip there that was cancelled or it would have included glorious mosquito bites.

She's been quite a bit. Tells tales of the Mosquitos there.

 

You will get it done, Jay. I'm some older than you, but have notched 48 of 50. Only Alaska and North Dakota to go!

 

North Dakota's gonna be the hard one. I think Alice would be up for visiting Alaska, but North Dakota?

 

I'm at 40, but my travel is limited these days, so I'm not optimistic.

 

You have to go out to Yellowstone or Glacier and do it as a quick side trip. That's the only reason I've been to North Dakota.

 

For North Dakota, go see a hockey game at the Ralph. It's worth it.

 

I'm older than you, but missing the same three.

I tried keeping a list of all the states I had whacked it in, but got distracted somewhere along the way.

 

'McPick 2': McDonald's new deal to replace Dollar Menu

McDonald's hopes it has a catchy, new deal that will be as hugely popular as its Dollar Menu. Early next year, the fast-food chain will launch the "McPick 2" menu, which will let customers pick two of the following items for $2: a McDouble, a McChicken, small fries and mozzarella sticks.

Since McDoubles cost $1.39 in my part of the world, this sounds good to me.
