It's always sunny in philadelphia: 10 episodes where the gang actually bonded.

It's rare, but every now and then Mac, Frank, Dee, Dennis, and Charlie actually manage to treat one another like human beings in It's Always Sunny.

Charlie Kelly, Ronald "Mac" McDonald, Dennis, Dee, and Frank Reynolds will never change at the core. If they did, the entire point of  It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia   would be annihilated. But that doesn't mean they're incapable of showing affection, even if it is only in spurts.

From road trips and getting held hostage to establishing their dynamic and celebrating Mac day, the  It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia  gang have had their moments of camaraderie.

The Gang Gets Held Hostage - Season 3, Episode 4

In one of the most rewatchable  Always Sunny  episodes , the McPoyles come into Paddy's with a shotgun, bathrobes, and a list of demands.

Dennis, Dee, Mac, Charlie, and Frank will never stick together as a cohesive unit. They're incapable of it despite being a gang of supposed friends. But in "The Gang Gets Held Hostage," they're forced to be in close quarters under intense duress, and the viewer can pick up on some true bonding between Mac and Frank, even if they are just scheming for cash.

The Gang Solves The Gas Crisis - Season 4, Episode 2

It's Always Sunny  has changed over the years , but the gang's dynamic hasn't. Dennis is the looks, Mac is the brains, and Charlie's the wild card.  With the late addition of Frank as the muscle, to complete the dynamic.

Perhaps Mac and Frank haven't fully stuck to those roles, but Dennis is still the looks and Charlie is nothing if not a wild card. Their dynamic is explored further in "The Gang Gets Trapped," but "The Gang Solves the Gas Crisis" is the best example of them interacting with one another under the guise of a predetermined role. That, in and of itself, is finding one's place within a group dynamic, which is the first step towards bonding.

The Gang Hits The Road - Season 5, Episode 2

They may not travel far, but the gang does some good old-fashioned bonding on their road trip. From Charlie trying basically every piece of fruit for somehow the first time to Dee throwing a jar full of urine out the window and right into Mac's face, "The Gang Hits The Road" is a 101 episode for beginners looking to learn how the gang dysfunctions.

In the end, they stick to their favorite dimly lit locale, and the only thing that's changed is that Dee has lost another car.

Chardee MacDennis: The Game Of Games - Season 7, Episode 7

"Chardee MacDennis: The Game of Games" shows Frank ingratiating himself even further into the game. He'd later try to rename it to "Chardee MacDennis 2: Electric Boogaloo," but here he's just learning the ropes.

Dennis, Dee, Mac, and Charlie yell at him more than they make active attempts to help him learn the bizarre rules, but there's still some good gelling amongst the members of the gang. Furthermore, Dennis and Dee seem to be having the time of their lives smashing Charlie and Mac's game pieces...again.

The Gang Dines Out - Season 8, Episode 9

Charlie and Frank have one of the best relationships on  It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia , but "The Gang Dines Out" was just as much about Dennis and Mac's night.  Dee was also there.

While the four men aren't aware of her presence at Guigino's Italian Restaurant, she ends up making her presence known in a laugh-out-loud way. Charlie and Frank are slowly walking across the restaurant to Dennis and Mac, and the poor waiter asks what they're doing and starts to head over in a rush. Unfortunately, he immediately trips, and it's revealed that Dee tied his shoelaces together. With this, the members of the gang finally show Dee some respect, for once laughing at something she's done in a genuine way.

Mac Day - Season 9, Episode 5

"Mac Day" and Season 14's "Dee Day" are great opportunities for fans to learn more about two of their favorite characters. The bonding in "Mac Day," in particular, is of the tough-love variety.

RELATED: Pirate Door & 9 Other Hilarious Mistakes It's Always Sunny's Charlie Made

In the end, the gang has signed Mac up for a karate tournament so he can finally get beaten up and stop pretending he's tough. He gets beaten up but doesn't stop pretending he's tough. The gang calls him out on it to no avail, then decides to choose the visiting Country Mac. Unfortunately, he immediately falls off a motorcycle and dies, leaving Dennis, Dee, Charlie, and Frank to mutually come to an acceptance that Mac is forever theirs.

The Gang Gets Quarantined - Season 9, Episode 7

"The Gang Gets Quarantined" is a quotable classic with a particularly important moment. It's obvious that the five members of the gang are alcoholics, that's a given. But it's somehow not until the ninth season that they openly acknowledge that fact, or even come to the realization that they have a long-running chemical dependency issue.

In that recognition, there's mutual growth. The gang's all in the same boat, and apparently, they're just going to keep drinking their way through their problems.

The Gang Misses The Boat - Season 10, Episode 6

Season 10 has the gang failing to come to terms with reality. For instance, in "The Gang Group Dates, Dennis feels screaming that he's a "Five-star man" can make him one, even though he has a one-star rating on  Raters .

RELATED: 10 It's Always Sunny Quotes That Were Surprisingly Deep

But it's in "The Gang Misses the Boat" that they come close to actually changing. Dennis essentially attempts to move on from being a Range Rover man while Mac misguidedly tries to force his own sexuality in a direction that's not natural to him. There's also Frank, who attempts to leech onto a new gang. However, Dee and Charlie have never gotten closer than they do in "Misses the Boat," working together on a Def Jam routine until they reach the point of intimacy.

The Gang Goes To Hell: Part Two - Season 11, Episode 10

The Gang Goes to Hell  had some iconic moments for  It's Always Sunny 's bickering group of loud alcoholics, but it also had some introspective ones as well.

The gang faces their destiny in the two-parter, with Dee being labeled Wrath while Dennis is labeled Lust and so and so forth. They analyze their identities in  The Gang Goes to Hell and they realize that, while they can't stand one another, they also can't live without one another.

The Gang Carries A Corpse Up A Mountain - Season 15, Episode 8

Dennis, Frank, Mac, and Dee manage to be somewhat supportive throughout the 15th season's finale, "The Gang Carries a Corpse Up a Mountain," but the real moment of unity comes after they've abandoned him.

Charlie has screamed at them to leave him alone and allow him to carry his deceased father up the mountain himself, thereby carrying his father in a way his father never carried him. The rest of the gang bails initially, but they have a heartfelt moment together and realize that a gang of four is not the same as a gang of five. Season 15 is a mixed bag, but the finale displays poignancy in a way few other  Sunny  episodes ever have.

Synopsis [ ]

The Gang tries to expand their horizons by going on a road trip to the Grand Canyon.

11:00 A.M. on a Tuesday

Frank wants to see the Grand canyon before he dies. Originally the journey was supposed to be Dennis , Mac and Frank . Charlie was supposed to keep up the bar with Dee because of Charlie's fear of leaving Philly and Dee of course was left out of the trip. However Dee shows up at the bar earlier than usual, having purchased a new car after Mac and Charlie had destroyed her previous car in an attempt to fake their own deaths. The Gang allows Dee to come on their road trip & Charlie decides to come along in fear of being alone at Paddy's Pub.

The Gang piles into Dennis' Range Rover to begin their journey and they discover that Charlie has never eaten a pear. Mac decides they have to stop by the Italian Market to find him a pear to knock off more things to do off Charlie's bucket list. We also find out Charlie has never eaten blueberries.Charlie has not eaten almost any fruit. The gang encounters a bicyclist in front of them on the road and Mac decides to "fire a beer across his bow and ruffle his feathers". After knocking him off his bike, they run over his bike and ruin the Range Rover.

Then, they need a new vehicle for their journey so they steal Dee's new used car she had purchased that day, almost leaving her.

Dennis and Frank decide to spend some time of the journey in the U-Haul while Mac, Charlie and Dee stay in the car and fight over tapes and music.

After arriving at the Italian Market, Charlie tries his first pear and it tastes like sand, then proceeds to eat the entire pear with the sticker. He claimed to "eat stickers all the time!" Dennis and Frank haggle with the Gypsies over a french press.

After purchasing a French press, wicker chairs, an energy drink, a pear, a Piss Jar, and a Soul Asylum tape, they leave but switch up their arrangements first. Frank, Mac, and Dee play a drinking game of naming all 50 states, drink while you think. Dee decides to pick up a hitch-hiker to drive her car so she can drink and play the game. Charlie and Dennis think it is a good idea to burn the Wicker chairs to cook some hot dogs...in the back of the u-haul, with no ventilation.

Dee gets drunk and questions her mysterious drivers intentions, and finds out he is headed to Hollywood. She insists he will be doing gay porn with his tiny body. She plays him the song: Runaway Train while filling her piss jar and hitting on him. After finishing, she throws it out the open window and it lands in Mac's sleeping mouth. After nearly dying from burning the Wicker chairs and drunken piss breaks, The gang decided to all huddle into the U-haul while Charlie and the driving stranger sit up front. We find out that Mac sees himself as the sheriff of Paddy's Pub.

The next morning, the group wakes up in the trailer, thinking that they are half-way along the road trip. But when they get out, they see that Dee's car has been stolen, and they are back at the bar. When the gang goes into the bar, Charlie explains to them that he panicked about leaving Philadelphia, and told the hitchhiker to take the rest of the group to the Grand Canyon. The gang ends the scene with them drinking a beer at paddy's pub.

Guest Starring [ ]

  • Cha Cha Ciarcia as Fruit Vendor
  • Shannon McKain as Hitchhiker
  • It's revealed in this episode that Charlie has never left Philadelphia, eaten a pear, blueberries, or strawberries.
  • Technically, Charlie actually  has left Philadelphia before this episode: in " The Gang Gets Invincible ", he and Frank follow the rest of the Gang to the Eagles' tryout at a high school in Bucks County, PA, which is outside the city limits of Philadelphia.  But Bucks County is immediately adjacent to Philadelphia County, and is considered part of the Philadelphia metropolitan area, so Charlie probably doesn't consider that really leaving Philadelphia. Charlie will however, physically leave Philadelphia in the Season 6 episode " The Gang gets stranded in the woods " where the gang travels from Philadelphia to Atlantic City now Charlie was tied up, had a sack on his head and was put in the trunk, later the gang gets stranded in the woods as the title suggests but Dennis and Charlie hitch-hike to Atlantic City .
  • In this episode when Charlie and Mac are trying to hot wire Dee 's car, Charlie says: It's black to yellow! The colors Black and Yellow are It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia theme colors.
  • When Frank opens the back door of the U-Haul, after Charlie and Dennis light the chairs on fire, he opens the door with no resistance, even after Dennis held the door open with duct tape.
  • The first time Sweet Dee pulls up with her new car, it has a trailer hitch on it.  After the gang runs over the bicycle and return to the bar, Frank says, "I have an idea" and they pan to Sweet Dee's new car, it doesn't have the trailer hitch on it anymore.  They then show the gang taking off in the car without Dee.
  • If you use the location for Paddy's Pub shown in the episode " The Great Recession ", 3rd and Dickinson Streets, then the Italian Market is roughly 1.1 miles from Paddy's.  (Source:  http://goo.gl/maps/DOpYg )
  • Some places that Dee and Mac erroneously think are states include "South Virginia" (twice), "East Virginia", and Philadelphia, much to Frank's amusement. Mac and Charlie later guess Detroit and Milwaukee, further exasperating Frank.
  • Dee will get her piss on Mac again in The Gang Goes to a Water Park , and he will later get pissed on by Dennis, Charlie, and Frank in The Gang Texts .

50 Epic Ideas for What to Do on a Road Trip With Friends

Wondering what to do on a road trip to keep the boredom at bay? This list of 50 fun things to do on a road trip with friends should help! Check it out!

I hope these ideas on what to do on a road trip help out when you’re bored in the car!

I hope these ideas on what to do on a road trip help out when you’re bored in the car!

I love road trips.

Ordinary life gets left behind, and a sense of adventure takes its place.

But when the excitement fades, and you’re facing hours or days in the car, they can get a bit, well… boring .

Want to avoid that fate?

Check out this long list of ideas for what to do on a road trip ! With 50 fun things to do on road trips with friends, you should never be bored in the car again.

[Last updated: July 2023]

50 Best Things to Do On a Road Trip with Friends & Family!

Looking for fun things to do in the car on road trips? The following 50 fun things to do during a road trip should help!

1. Journal the journey

One of my top suggestions for things to do on a road trip with friends is to keep a journal as you go.

Write about where you’ve been, what you’ve been doing, and how you’re finding the experience.

It doesn’t have to be a hand-written thing either.

I mean, writing in a moving vehicle isn’t easy! You could save yourself the hassle (and mess) by typing notes on your phone or even dictating into it.

However you do it, journaling about your journey will help a) pass the time, and b) provide a lasting record of the trip.

You’ll be able to look back on it long after it’s over and reminisce over forgotten details.

Need some help getting started? Check out these travel journal prompts .

2. Track your route on a map

Another cool thing to do on road trips is to track your route on a map.

I did this on a recent trip to Australia. I was travelling around in a rickety old campervan for 6 months or so, covering more than 20,000km and stopping all around the country to take in the sights.

Wanting to remember where I’d been, I dropped a pin on Google maps at every new place I went.

The result? I’ve now got a lasting memory and a visual display of my route to look back on.

You could do the same, or take it one step further with an actual physical map. I’ve heard of people literally stitching their route (with a needle and thread) as they went from place to place.

You’d have a fun task to do along the way and an awesome memento of your road trip at the end!

3. Take videos and photos (fun things to do in the car on a road trip)

I’m sure I don’t have to tell you to take lots of photos and videos as you go!

Most people will have their phones/cameras out at every opportunity on a road trip. It’s the perfect way to record your trip and all the amazing things you see and do.

Have some fun with it as well though.

For example, why not challenge each other to take a maximum of 5 photos per day? Or do a photo competition to see who can snap the best image. And so on.

It might also be cool to take a Polaroid camera with you on the road.

You’d end up with piles of physical photos that captured the moment to moment of your trip in a way that digital cameras and phones couldn’t.

4. Post about your trip on social media

You don’t want to spend all of your time on your phone.

But there’s no denying that social media provides another option for entertainment on a road trip.

Try to avoid any mindless scrolling though! The last thing you want is to let the trip pass in a blur of cat videos and random TikTok clips.

Think about creating a new Instagram profile and Facebook page for your adventures.

Record your endeavours, post photos, and write little stories of your exploits. People back home, and even random strangers, can then check in on what you’re up to. You never know, you could end up garnering a significant following.

5. What to do on long road trips? Play road trip games!

Games are a classic way to stay entertained on long car journeys.

There’s no shortage of options, either. License plate bingo, cards against humanity, and eye-spy are just a few examples of popular road trip games to try.

Here’s a great list from BuzzFeed with more ideas.

Wondering what food to take on a road trip too? Check out this post !

Tracking your route on a map might not sound like one of the fun things to do on a road trip in the car. But, by the end of the trip, you’ll be glad you did it!

6. Find out more about each other

You might have days on the road with the same road trip travel companions.

That’s a lot of time to kill! Why not take the opportunity to find out more about each other?

It doesn’t matter whether you’ve known someone for your entire life. There might still be things to discover about them. Now’s the ideal time to change that.

Have a heart to heart. Get political. Ask about their childhood. Enquire about their job, dreams, and goals. Divulge long-held secrets, get their opinion on noteworthy topics, and so on.

Need some conversation starters? These road trip questions should help.

7. Reminisce over shared memories

I love nothing more than reminiscing with good friends about days of old!

Whether you’re talking about old childhood stories, shared memories from college, or past adventures, it’s always fun to reflect, laugh, and feel the warm tinge of nostalgia on a best friend road trip.

8. Crack your favourite jokes

Is the atmosphere in the car getting a little grey?

Tell some travel jokes to brighten the mood! They’re a perfect antidote to lifting peoples’ spirits and putting a smile back on everyone’s face.

They don’t have to be good jokes either.

For more joke-related fun things to do in the car on a road trip, you could spice things up a bit and have a competition to see who can tell the worst one. Vote on the best/worst, and the winner/loser has to buy the beers at your next destination.

9. Play some music (essential stuff to do on a road trip!)

No road trip is complete without music blaring in the background!

Make sure your car has a good set of speakers, Bluetooth (or an aux cord), and something from which to play music. I recommend having multiple playlists of top tunes available to ensure you’re never short of a song.

Here’s an awesome road trip playlist from TimeOut if you’re looking for inspiration.

Want to mix things up a bit? Think about reverting to the good old days of CDs. Get everybody to bring an album and take it in turns to play them from start to finish.

Looking for more music ideas? Check out these awesome adventure songs .

10. Play movie soundtracks!

On the subject of music, why not play your favourite soundtracks as well?

There’s nothing better than driving along open roads with an epic movie soundtrack playing. Everything takes on a new sense of drama.

Whether it’s Batman, Braveheart, Lord of the Rings, or Harry Potter, they’re a perfect addition to any road trip playlist!

Heads up, you might also like this post about the best gifts for road trippers .

11. listen to podcasts and audiobooks (perfect road trip entertainment).

I often get tired of both the radio and my own music after a while.

That’s why I like having podcasts and audiobooks downloaded to my phone as well.

They’re ideal for quiet moments in the car and long stints behind the wheel. You can turn them on, tune in, and let the miles drift past.

12. Read each other stories (fun activities to do on a road trip)

Why not take it in turns to read to each other as well?

It might have been years since anybody read you a story! But, trust me, it’s bloody lovely. You feel like a little kid again.

It’s nice for the driver as well.

They can focus on the road without being distracted by loud music or boisterous conversation.

13. Read a book (entertainment for road trips is essential!)

Quiet moments in the car provide a perfect opportunity to read a book .

With a good novel or non-fiction in your hands, you can escape into the pages and easily kill hours of the drive!

That’s good news when boredom has started to settle in and time has began to drag.

14. Watch a movie/series

The same goes for watching a movie or series!

With TVs in the back of the car, or Netflix on your phone, you can get engrossed in your favourite series/film and see time pass by in a flash.

It’s even better if you can watch the same film/show with friends. The experience becomes less antisocial.

Spare a thought for the driver though! They’re having to concentrate on the road while you escape into the screen. Make sure they’re happy with the silence and take regular breaks to keep them company too.

15. Eat some road trip snacks

I think having a car full of snacks is a prerequisite for a successful road trip.

There’s nothing worse than being hungry on the road. Having an ample supply of tasty treats will prevent that eventuality and lift peoples’ moods.

Don’t overindulge in the unhealthy stuff though.

You’ll end up feeling sick, which is the last thing you want when you’re spending hours in the car. Pack a mixture of healthy and unhealthy snacks to keep you satiated and satisfied in equal measure.

Wondering what else to bring along on the road trip? Check out this post full of things to take travelling.

With so much road to cover, you’ll definitely need some road trip food to keep the munchies at bay!

16. Sing karaoke songs (Awesome road trip fun!)

If you’re going to be listening to music, then you might as well sing along! Break out some classic songs and get your karaoke on in the back of the car.

You could even do one of those lip sync videos, like this epic one from a few years back:

Watch our lates video! https://youtu.be/T56op4xxLgs BECOME A SKETCHETEER: http://bit.ly/29hWPMG LIKE our Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/sketchshe https:/…

17. Take breaks

Don’t forget to take regular breaks from the car as well!

I mean, too much of anything is bad for you, right?

And that cliché seems particularly apt when you’re travelling at high speeds for hours at a time in a metal tin can with wheels.

Stop the car every couple of hours, stretch your legs, see the sights, and give yourself a rest.

18. Take turns driving

Got a few of you in the car? Divide the driving up between you as well.

For one thing, it gives everyone a turn behind the wheel, which means you’re getting natural breaks. That should stop people from getting too tired on the road, keeping everyone safe in the process.

An added bonus is that everybody gets to experience the joy of being a passenger!

I mean, driving’s great, but you have to be focused on the road all the time. Everything from looking out at the sights to engaging in the backseat banter becomes far harder.

19. Have a snooze (passengers only)

Things gone quiet in the car? Feeling tired and not your turn to drive anytime soon?

Well, I’d have a nap.

Road trips, like all travelling, can tire you out! You’re literally on the move all the time, fluctuating between excitement and boredom, stopping and seeing new things every few hours.

Having a periodic snooze can keep your energy levels up and ensure you keep enjoying yourself.

20. Turn off the GPS

I literally don’t know where I’d be without a GPS.

My sense of direction is notoriously bad and my memory isn’t much better. Take my GPS away when I’m driving and all hell breaks loose.

I don’t know where I’m going and can’t remember where I came from!

I can’t lie, though, it’s kinda fun. That’s how adventure happens! Give it a go if you aren’t in a hurry to get anywhere.

Turn off your GPS and see where you end up. You’ll be able to find your way back if you get lost (just turn the GPS back on!) and you might end up stumbling on some awesome and unexpected sights/places in the process.

Want an extra challenge? Don’t take a GPS in the first place and use an old-school map instead. It’s sure to make things more interesting…

Looking for things to do in the car on long journeys? Share the driving!

21. Take detours & see the sights

I’ve travelled a reasonable amount at this point and done my fair share of road trips too.

And I can honestly say that, for me, at least, the best kind of travel is slow travel.

I don’t like rushing anywhere, skipping things out, or being in a hurry to reach my final destination. Remember, the joy of travel really is in the journey itself.

You won’t look back on this road trip and remember much about where you ended up.

But you will recall, in vivid detail, how you got there and the adventures you went on along the way.

With that in mind, make sure you stop at every opportunity (where it’s practical and feasible) to explore, do fun things, and take in the sights. Take random detours (especially when you don’t know where they go) and embrace the adventures that come as a result.

22. Make profiles for each other on dating apps & go wild

Looking for fun things to do on road trips and fancy having a giggle?

Swap phones, set up a profile for each other on Tinder (or another dating app), and start swiping left and right. See who you can set your mates up with at your next destination!

23. Drive a classic route

It doesn’t matter where you are in the world, every country has certain roads and routes that are steeped in road-tripping prestige.

Think about the old Route 66 in America, the Skeleton Coast in Namibia, or the Grimsel Pass in Switzerland. All of them are epic road trips.

See which classic routes might be along the way on your chosen path and consider taking a detour to travel a section of them!

24. Goof around (AKA the most fun thing to do on a road trip)

Road trips should never be serious affairs.

They should be fun-filled, laughter-fuelled, joke-ridden rides that leave everybody in a good mood.

Take every opportunity on your trip to goof around. Plan some practical jokes, partake in plenty of (friendly) banter, and play silly games that everybody in the car likes.

25. Keep in touch with people back home

Don’t forget to let your loved ones at home know how you’re getting on.

There are all sorts of things that can go wrong on the road.

And, if your mum’s anything like mine, then they want constant reassurance that you’re a) still alive, and b) having fun.

…But mainly that you’re still alive.

Dropping them the odd message and giving them an occasional call will keep everybody happy! It’s also something to do when things are getting a bit dull in the car.

You could even download one of those apps that lets people back home check your whereabouts.

They’ll be able to track your progress without having to call/message all the time.

Fun road trips don’t always include much planning. Still, it’s worth stopping every now and again for a break and to check where you’re going next!

Fun road trips don’t always include much planning. Still, it’s worth stopping every now and again for a break and to check where you’re going next!

26. Research your next stop

I’m never a massive fan of planning.

I try to ‘go with the flow’ where possible, and see what happens. Sometimes, though, that tack backfires and I end up missing out on incredible opportunities that I simply had no idea existed.

Strike a happy balance: plan a little as you go, googling the next destination before you get there, checking what there is to do.

It’s a good way to pass the time when you’ve got nothing better to do and ensures you see the best bits of wherever you’re headed.

27. Come up with 3 must-do activities for each stop

This point leads on from the last.

Basically, while researching the next stop on your road trip, you could challenge each other to come up with 3 things to do there.

It could be activities to do, sights to see, places to eat, or points of interest to check out.

In any case, with multiple people coming up with multiple options, you’ll never be short of something to do when you arrive at each stop.

28. Check roadtrippers.com for ideas and inspiration

Roadtrippers.com is a gem of a website for anybody on (or planning) a road trip.

Plan your trip, decide your itinerary, get more travel tips, and so on. Check it out if you’re at a loss for what to do or how to get somewhere.

29. Wondering what to do on road trips? Make no plans whatsoever!

Plans sh-mans.

You could throw caution to the wind and ditch the lot of ‘em. Pile into the car with nothing but a physical map and your final destination in mind.

Figure it out as you go, with a general attitude of openness and adventure.

Find yourself planning in the car? Stop it! Take the next turn-off and see what you find.

30. Take/buy an air freshener

I suppose this is more of a practical suggestion for road trips than an idea for what to do on them.

Basically, there’s nothing like spending hours at a time in an enclosed space with your friends to make things a little ‘stuffy’. You’re eating food, sharing space, and sweating away in a hot vehicle!

Having an air freshener in the car will make an almighty difference.

…Oh, and crack a window while you’re at it!

Be sure to take your time, take detours, and stop to enjoy the scenery. These are often the most fun things to do on a long road trip.

Be sure to take your time, take detours, and stop to enjoy the scenery. These are often the most fun things to do on a long road trip.

31. Keep your electronics charged (use a multi-way charger)

Phone going flat? Camera battery running low? Laptop powering down?

Stick it all on charge!

First, though, you’ll need a multi-way adapter to plug into the cigarette lighter (or a power bank). They’re an absolute life-saver when you’re on the road with no access to mains power.

32. Remember the beers (and a bottle opener)

No, this isn’t me advocating or endorsing drunk driving!

But there’s no denying the benefits of having a case of cold beers in the back (preferable in a cooler). An ice-cold beer goes down a treat when evening rolls around and you’ve been driving all day.

Just wait until the driving’s done before you break them out.

Drunk driving causes countless accidents every year. Be safe, responsible, and only enjoy your beers when you’ve got nowhere else to go that day.

33. Camp out along the way (essential road trip things to do!)

Remember when I suggested making detours, stopping along the way, seeing the sights, and taking your time to have an adventure?

Well, camping out is a way of combining it all.

It’s also a really cool way to spend the night when you’re out on an extended road trip. Stick your camping gear in the back and keep an eye out for the perfect spot to free-camp.

Heads up, this is the perfect time to break out those beers I just mentioned…

34. Stargaze!

Driving at night? Or camping out along the way?

Look up at the stars! Use an app on your phone to highlight the constellations (assuming you don’t know them already) and take in the magic of the night sky.

35. Eat at local establishments

Stepping into local bars, cafes, and restaurants can be daunting sometimes- particularly in smaller, rural communities that don’t get too many travellers.

They can feel a little hostile. The locals don’t know you; you don’t understand the way they do things. It’s tempting to go to the big chains, the fast-food restaurants, or to cook for yourself/get take-out.

But I like (and recommend) doing it for two reasons:

First, it’s a way to support the local communities through which you’re driving. The result?

Well, it’s just good, ethical practice. But it has the added benefit of endearing the locals to travellers that come through after you.

Second, you end up challenging your stereotypes, meeting some lovely people, and learning more about where you actually are in the country.

Camping out along the way is an awesome thing to do on a car road trip with friends.

36. Speak to the locals

This point leads on from the last!

Get into the habit of talking to locals whenever you can. It’s the best way to get recommendations for things to do, discover a place’s history, and have a quality conversation all at once.

37. Turn your phones off!

Mobile phones are always useful on road trips.

They act as a communications device, cameras, video recorders, GPS, entertainment, and encyclopedia all at once.

However, they can also be very distracting.

You’re there to have fun, escape the mundanity or real life, and spend time with your nearest and dearest. But you end up on your phone the whole time, just doing what you always do!

Get everybody to put the phone away every now and again to stop that happening.

38. Take customized stickers to leave as reminders

Want to leave you mark along the way?

Why not bring along some custom stickers (e.g. ‘Pete and Dave’s US road trip 2020’- or something slightly more original…) and leave them in places along the way?

Obviously, respect the places you visit. Only stick them in locations where it’s vaguely acceptable. The bathrooms of dive-bars or nightclubs are often a good place to do it, for example!

If you ever go back there, you’ll be able to look for your ‘mark’ and reminisce about the trip you took way back when.

39. Buy a tiny souvenir at each stop

Stop and buy souvenirs along the way too! It’s an awesome way to remember the road trip when it’s over. Take the mementos with you in the car and then back home when you’re done.

You’ll have a tangible reminder of all the cool things you did to go with the photos and journal entries.

40. Watch the world go by (one of the best things to do on long road trips)

Sometimes the best thing to do on a road trip is simply to sit and watch the world go by.

I know, it’s hardly revolutionary!

But you’d be surprised how easy it is to just let the time slip by without taking in what you’re doing.

Whenever you’re not driving, try to sit back, relax, and observe the new places you travel through.

Watch the landscapes change, see what the weather’s doing, and acknowledge the way you’re feeling in each place. You’ll be present and far more appreciative of your road trip as a result.

Fun things to do in the car on road trips are great. Sometimes, though, it’s worth just stopping to watch the world go by, stay present, and enjoy the moment to moment experience of the trip!

41. Make TikTok Videos

TikTok’s all the rave, so this idea might be at the top of your list of things to do on a road trip already.

In any case, making TikTok videos would be a fun way to pass the time, record the trip, and let your friends back home know how much fun you’re having!

42. Vlog about the trip

On the subject of making videos on your road trip, why not vlog about it?

You could start a YouTube channel and record your adventures for the whole world to see (not to mention your friends and family)!

Now, this might be overkill for short road trips, but it’d awesome if you’re going on extended journeys in the car. You never know, with enough interest you could even turn it into a living online .

43. Blog about the trip

If you don’t enjoy being in front of a camera but like the idea of recording your travels, then blogging about the road trip might be a better bet.

This could kill a few birds with one stone.

First, assuming someone else is driving, you’d be able to kill some time by writing articles as you go.

Second, you’d end up with a cool account of the journey for other people to read. And third, you’d create what’s essentially a diary of the road trip to look back on down the line!

44. Play the quiet game

Ahhh the quiet game…

My favourite game to play when everything’s getting a bit too loud and overwhelming in the car.

The rules are simple: whoever stays quiet for the longest wins!

This could be particularly useful if you’re on a road trip with siblings, or have young kids with you.

45. Get Some Exercise

Last but not least, try to stop along the way to move your limbs, stretch your muscles, and get the blood flowing around your body.

Don’t, and sitting in the car all day is a recipe for restless legs in the evening (my nemesis).

You could go for a walk or a hike, do some jumping jacks or push-ups, do some yoga, or run around the block. Anything you can do to get some exercise is sure to make a difference! Feel free to check out this list of travel workouts for more ideas.

Still looking for things to do on a road trip? Here are 5 more ideas to finish.

46. Stop For a Picnic

Like the sound of stopping somewhere beautiful en route for lunch?

Well, plan ahead and pack a picnic to eat.

It’s a perfect excuse to take a break from driving, stretch your legs, refuel with some delicious food, and actually take in your surroundings properly.

In other words, it’s an ideal activity for anybody wondering what to do on a road trip!

47. See Who Can Get the “Trucker Salute” First

You know when you make a first and pump your arm to truckers to try and make them honk their horn?

Well, that’s called the “trucker salute.”

Another fun thing to do on road trips is to see who can make trucker do it first!

Do the salute whenever you see one drive past. The first person to get a response wins the universal adoration of everyone else in the car – or an actual prize (like a snack at the next service station…).

48. Take Photos of Your Friends While They’re Asleep

With all that gravity working against your jaw, it’s hard to look your best when you’re fast asleep in a car.

…Which is why it’s so funny to take photos of your friends when they take a nap.

You can have a good laugh about it later and compare pics to see whose is worst. Of course, it’s also fantastic blackmail material…

49. Meditate

This idea for what to do on a road trip can be easier said than done – especially when you’re travelling with kids in the car.

However, if you have chance, why not kill some time in the passenger seat by doing a meditation practice?

Even if it’s just for 10 minutes, you could stop, close your eyes, focus on your breathing, and try to stay as present as possible.

50. Have a Debate

Passionate about a certain topic? Why not have a debate about it?

For instance, let’s say your friend things Lord of the Rings is better than Game of Thrones. If you disagree, take turns justifying your position!

Other people in the car can then vote on who made the most compelling arguments.

Lay some ground rules beforehand, though, or ask someone else to mediate the discussion. After all, you don’t want the debate to derail your road trip.

Keep things light and respect each other’s views.

Exactly What to Do on a Road Trip With Friends

Road trips are always special. I mean, the very thought of going on a road trip is usually enough to get me dribbling with excitement!

They’re full of promise from the get-go. They’re exciting, liberating, fun-filled adventures that you share with awesome people in amazing places.

But they can definitely end up being a bit boring at times too. That’s why it’s so important to know what to do on a road trip! You’ll never feel bored or let down if you know the best things to do on a road trip.

Hopefully, this post will help in that regard! Want to read more articles like this one?

It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia : "The Gang Hits the Road"

Last week’s episode of Sunny was one of those episodes where they all get drunk and do things, and everything kind of, but not really, relates to a topical issue at hand. This week’s episode was one of those episodes where they just all get drunk.

And what better excuse than a ROAD TRIP! Road trip, you guys. Even though it was plainly obvious the gang would never make it outside of city lines on their trip to the Grand Canyon when the episode began, I have to admit I was as perturbed as Charlie about the show leaving Philly. It’s a city I don’t know well so I’ve always felt comfortable with these strange, strange people living in that weird fantasy city. I’m less comfortable with them invading the real world.

The gang plans the road trip because Frank’s always wanted to see the Grand Canyon before he dies, apparently. And since Danny DeVito, with his weird greasy hair and darting eyes, kinda always seems like he might be on his last legs, they hire a trailer and hitch it to the van and are just about to leave Paddy’s when Dee shows up early to work, having bought a new car. The audacity!

I love the boys’ reaction every time Dee messes up their plans by getting involved, that sort of practiced “aaaah,” malaise-y noise they make. I also admire their old school road trip plan, with Dennis pooh-poohing GPS systems, saying they’ll rely on maps. I love maps! Unfortunately, things quickly head south: first Mac beer-bottles a cyclist, Charlie buys unripe fruit at the Italian market, Dee throws a jar of pee all over Mac, and Dennis and Charlie almost die of smoke inhalation by burning wicker chairs in their trailer.

But the plot of this episode was pretty light, even for Sunny . There were no dovetailing stories, or even meta acknowledgements of two stories that refuse to dovetail, like last week. It was just a funny little 22-minute caper, filled up with some great nonsense dialogue.

“I’ve never eaten a pear,” Charlie confesses. “They weird me out, dude! Where do you start, the top, the bottom?” He later adds blueberry and strawberry to his list of foods uneaten – not surprising if you remember the fiberglass and woodchips (or whatever it was) found in his stomach last season. And, of course, the Grilled Charlie.

My favorite caper in the episode was the gang’s visit to the Italian market – Rocky ran through it! – to broaden Charlie’s culinary horizons, although the best thing Charlie ate this episode was a sticker. "I eat stickers all the time!" Mac and Dennis’ insistence that the stall owners were “gypsies” who “wanted to barter” was funny, but one of the stalls having a French press for sale, balanced atop wicker furniture, was somehow funnier, especially since the French press excited Dennis, who is always so haute couture .

After driving about 20 minutes away from Paddy’s (which heightened Charlie’s worry that people outside of the city would be “jerks”), the gang, basically hammered at this point, gets bored of driving and, in a classic road-trip trope, lassos a runaway into doing their driving for ‘em. They didn’t get to do much with the hitchhiker, who was kind of boring and nerdy rather than a real character, but Dee did get super drunk and talk about his tight body and all the gay porn he’d end up doing in Hollywood. I love it when Dee’s drunk. She does this weird crone voice and scary, staring eyes. She’s probably the best drunk of the bunch, except for maybe Frank, but he always seems drunk.

Anyway, the episode ends as it only could end –everyone but Charlie piles into the trailer, Charlie gets spooked and tells the hitchhiker to drop him off and take the trailer to the Grand Canyon, and the hitchhiker promptly steals Dee’s new car and leaves everyone else outside Paddy’s. But Mac is shocked, because he had done an “ocular assessment” of the hitchhiker, and cleared him! “I thought he was clear! I thought Mac cleared him!” says Charlie.

A baffled Dennis asks, “How exactly do you view yourself within the context of our group?” Mac replies, “The Sheriff of Paddy’s!” Aw, Mac. It’s a great little window-on-the-soul moment, made even better by everyone’s disbelief. Will Mac ever get recognition as a badass? By someone other than Charlie? Doubtful.

Stray observations:

Hi guys! I’m David Sims, I’m picking up this show for the TV Club from now on. Hope I don’t suck too much and get eviscerated in the comments.

Poor Dee loses her second car. Why’d she buy a new car? “Because you guys ran my last one into a wall, that’s why!” Good episode.

I liked Mac’s stark acknowledgement of human frailty when Charlie said he didn’t have a bucket list cause he wasn’t dying. “Everybody’s dyin’, bitch!”

Also great: Mac “calling a lot of people bozo now, it’s like my new thing.”

“North Virginia, East Virginia, South Virginia…”

I kind of agree with Charlie that a bad pear can taste “like sand.”

Wicker chairs are more forgiving on Dennis’ bottom.

The Gang Goes Abroad In It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia Season 15 Teaser

Mac looking serious

There have been many comedy shows that have had long, notable runs on television. However, there's perhaps no sitcom show that's more noteworthy than "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia," the adult-themed comedy series that focuses on a group of friends with very loose morals, to put it mildly. The FX show's upcoming Season 15 premiere will make it the longest-running live-action comedy series in television history (per Deadline ), which is an incredible feat for a show that doesn't air on basic network television.

Still, fans have waited a long time for the premiere of the 15th season of "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia." Season 14 concluded all the way back in November 2019, just a few months before the COVID-19 pandemic hit the United States. Season 15 will contain eight episodes, unlike previous seasons, which typically ran for 10 episodes. 

Either way, fans are likely just as excited to have more "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" in their lives. Luckily for them, a new trailer for the upcoming season has arrived, and it teases a journey abroad for the gang of maladjusted characters.

The gang will road trip to Ireland on It's Always Sunny Season 15

The new trailer for Season 15 of "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" further teases the gang's trip to Ireland, which doesn't do anything to dull their off-putting and questionable antics. In a recent interview with Entertainment Weekly , star Kaitlin Olson teased that the extra time to write the season resulted in some of their funniest material yet. The newest trailer certainly tries to show some of that off, with the gang's typical brand of comedy transplanted to a totally different country.

It'll be interesting to see how "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" tackles the pandemic as well, as the show has never really shied away from touching on issues that are occurring in the real world. As if a tease to this plot point, the first episode of the new season is titled "2020: A Year in Review" (via IMDb ). Fans will be able to see for themselves just how funny Season 15 is when it premieres on FXX on December 1, 2021.

Driving the farwell canyon / gang ranch circle tour.

Monday (May 2nd) had already been a fabulous day by noon, but there was a circle tour recommended by Destination BC that I wanted to see. It was supposed to take 6 hours, but having the Gang Ranch in the description was enough to get me going.

The route turned out to be 247 km long (about 170 km of that is gravel), and I’d say that 6 hours is about right, but add some time to that to get out and walk a bit and enjoy the country.

Map of the Farwell Canyon / Gang Ranch Circle Tour

I left “home” just after 12:30. I wanted a photo or two of a logging truck on the Farwell Canyon Bridge, then I spaced myself between a couple of them to stay out of their way and avoid as much dust as possible.

Climbing the hill, I had lots of time as the logging truck crawled its way slowly up. Another cow babysitter was at work – this morning it had been a brown one 🙂

I made a couple of quick stops in Williams Lake for some fuel for both me (an A&W burger from the drive-thru) and the Tracker (there are no services along most of the route). The first hour out of Williams Lake isn’t particularly interesting as the road climbs and climbs and climbs, but once you reach the high country at Springhouse it gets better in a hurry. This was shot at 2:40.

The Alkali Lake Ranch is among the legendary ones for people interested in BC’s cowboy culture/literature, which I very much was 30-40 years ago. The huge home (just left of centre in the photo) looks very grand.

I didn’t know that BC had pelicans, but on a lake at Alkali Lake Ranch, there they were. These are American White Pelicans according to the lengthy species list on a sign at a pulloff at the lake.

Tucker has suddenly turned into a real Adventure Dude the last few days. It’s like a switch got turned on, or he’s now mature enough to realize what a life he’s going to have. As I’m writing this at 06:00 Saturday, he’s been curled up on the chair beside me, sleeping, for the past hour or so. He’s turned into the most wonderful little dog I could have hoped for.

This is magnificent country. Not spectacular generally, but powerful, and it amazes me what has been accomplished here by ranchers large and small.

A scene along the Farwell Canyon / Gang Ranch Circle Tour

Treeline works backwards to what most of us are used to. In most places, the trees quit growing when you climb to a certain elevation. Here, the trees start growing once you climb out of the dry valleys – my guess is at about 4,500 feet or so. At the edge of the forest zone, these flowers grow, carpeting some slopes.

And now the mighty Faser River can be seen far below, with the water flowing south, the same direction we were travelling.

The Fraser River near Dog Creek, BC

Nearing Dog Creek, this massive basalt towers over the road for half a mile.

At Dog Creek, you make a right turn onto the smallest road yet on the journey. It was now 3:40 pm.

The very impressive descent to the Fraser River. The road on the other side of the river can be seen at the right of the photo. I need to keep my altimeter/GPS in the motorhome – I really would have liked that information on a couple of roads already on this trip.

Turn left to get to Highway 97 on the Meadow Lake Road, or right to go 8 km to the Gang Ranch on the Gang Ranch Road.

The Churn Creek Bridge over the Fraser River is below, and the road does a hairpin turn just ahead to get to it.

The junction of Gang Ranch Road and Empire Valley Road – surely two of the most iconic names in BC cattle-country history.

A mineral spring along the road climbing up from the river was quite an oasis for plants, animals, and birds.

Made it! The Gang Ranch, at 4:15.

Now that looks like a successful ranch. It’s amazing what a little water can do. Okay, a lot of water.

The Gang Ranch, BC

The Gang Ranch. The tour description says that there’s “an old cook house and store with a post office”, but I saw no store, and no indication that there was anything that visitors were welcome at.

The Gang Ranch, BC

This spot just north of the ranch headquarters caused me a lot of frustration. The tour description says: “Keep driving and you soon come to a fork in the road. Stay on the 2700 Road heading north. Be prepared, this is a very rough gravel road and you may come across some logging trucks. Stay on the 2700 Road until you arrive at Farwell Canyon.” Whoever wrote that has never been here. No road is marked as the 2700, and going straight ahead on a very rough dirt road (not gravel) for a few minutes got me to a sign stating that the publicly maintained roads ends at that point. Backtracking to the junction and flagging down a local woman got me the information that the left turn is the one I wanted – the one straight ahead would get me to Farwell Canyon but is very rough. The photo shows the correct road, which a tiny, faded sign identifies as the Gang Ranch Reservoir Road, but a map just a head calls the 3100 Road. Anyway, back on the road – and the dogs got another long walk while I tried to figure it out.

Looking back to the reservoir.

Just after 5:00 pm, I reached the end of what was basically a really good ranch road, where it met the 2800 Road, the Gaspard – Churn Creek Forest Service Road (FSR), which is a major logging route that leads north, the direction I wanted to go. This photo was shot 20 minutes later.

2800 Road, the Gaspard - Churn Creek Forest Service Road

A couple more obvious turns onto other FSRs got me to this grouping of signs which could only mean that Farwell Canyon was ahead 🙂

Warning signs on the Farwell Canyon Road

Yes, those warning signs are accurate – that is quite a drop! Especially in a loaded logging truck. The grades, though, aren’t actually as steep as the visuals make it seems – I doubt that any exceed 12%.

Farwell Canyon Road

And there’s Farwell Canyon, with our home just to the left of centre.

Farwell Canyon Road

We spent 5½ hours on the circle tour, but rushed a bit because of the late start. I’m definitely glad that I made the trip – as you can see, it got us into some incredible country that very few people ever see, and brought back some good memories.

The next morning, we’d be off to Bella Coola for a couple of nights – another place I’d been wanting to get back to for decades.

US-50 The Loneliest Road: Butch Cassidy and the Hole-in-the-Wall Gang

Butch Cassidy and the Hole-in-the-Wall Gang

Posted June 7, 2018 in Blog Posts

Long before Paul Newman played him alongside Robert Redford’s Sundance Kid, Butch Cassidy was one of the great outlaw legends of the Wild West. Thanks to his habit of sharing the proceeds from his crimes with the widows and children of men killed or ruined by bankers and cattle barons, Butch Cassidy earned a reputation as the Robin Hood of the Wild West. That, plus the fact that he never killed anyone while committing his crimes, gained him popularity and admiration from the cowboys, miners, and homesteading pioneers among whom he worked his trade.

From 1894 to 1896 he was imprisoned in Wyoming for cattle theft, and following this he joined up with Harry Longabaugh (a.k.a. The Sundance Kid) and the rest of the gang. Together they robbed over a dozen banks, trains, and stagecoaches throughout the West, netting an estimated $350,000 in five years.

One of their many daring heists was the daylight robbery of a coal-mining company in Castle Gate , Utah, in April 1897; while the payroll was being taken from a train, Butch simply grabbed the satchel and rode off in a cloud of dust, $9,000 richer.

The American West is brimming with sights related to Butch Cassidy and the Hole-in-the-Wall Gang. Here are a few you might want to mark on your map.

Utah’s National Parks

If you’re a fan of the 1969 film, Zion National Park served as its stunning backdrop. Just south of Zion, the nearby ghost town of Grafton was another key filming location and has several well-preserved buildings still standing today. Zion is a significant detour from a road trip along the Loneliest Road, so if you want to stick to the route, stop by Arches National Parks and consider a hike to the Cassidy Arch.

Castle Gate, Utah – Western Mining & Railroad Museum

If you’re traveling the Loneliest Road through Utah, stop in at the excellent Western Mining & Railroad Museum in Castle Gate . In addition to the history of the region’s railroading, coal mining, and immigrant cultures, the museum is home to a display recounting the Hole-in-the-Wall Gang’s exploits. They rustled cattle throughout the area and hid out in the surrounding hills.

Cody, Wyoming – Old Trail Town

Old Trail Town in Cody is a collection of historic old buildings moved from elsewhere in Wyoming and Montana. It includes one of the log cabins from Hole-in-the-Wall country that Butch and the gang made use of. If you’d rather head outdoors and follow Butch’s trail to the remote pass known as Hole-in-the-Wall, look towards northern Wyoming’s Johnson County where the Bureau of Land Management maintains a foot trail .

Edit locked.

"We're gonna do this old school, baby. Maps, fresh cigarettes, fresh coffee. Cooking out on the grill, sleeping in sleeping bags..." — Dennis

This episode provides examples of the following tropes:

  • Alcohol-Induced Idiocy : Charlie and Dennis decide to burn wicker chairs inside a trailer to cook hotdogs after drinking several beers. Dee decides throwing pee out the window of a moving car is a good idea while she's drunk.
  • Catchphrase : Lampshaded when Mac claims that calling people "bozo" is his new thing.
  • Dee finally gets a new car after Mac and Charlie destroyed her old one .
  • Mac attempts to hotwire Dee's car, a skill he learned in "Dennis Looks Like a Registered Sex Offender" .
  • Cutting Corners : Dee doesn't get a car with a CD player because the dealer knocked a measly $50 off the price.
  • Designated Driver : The gang pick up a hitchhiker so that he can drive, allowing them all to drink.
  • Do You Want to Haggle? : The gang insist on haggling with the vendors at the Italian Market they visit, despite the fact that they're all terrible at it (to the point that they keep mistakenly calling it bartering).
  • Duct Tape for Everything : Dennis uses duct tape to hold the furniture in place inside the trailer. He runs out before he can secure the grill though.
  • Epic Fail : Dennis and Charlie attempt to burn some wicker chairs inside the trailer so that they can cook hotdogs over an open fire, only to end up knocking themselves out with the toxic fumes that result.
  • Extreme Omnivore : Charlie eats an entire pear, including the inedible parts. Mac: Did you eat the stickers that are all over it?! Charlie: Yeah, it was gross! Mac: Of course it's gross, it's a sticker, bro! Charlie: I EAT STICKERS ALL THE TIME, DUDE!!
  • The Friend Nobody Likes : The guys initially plan to leave Dee behind by setting off before she arrives at the bar. When she foils that plan, they still attempt to drive off without her on more than one occasion.
  • Foreshadowing : Charlie states that he's never left Philadelphia and doesn't feel comfortable doing so, and sure enough, when he's the only one inside Dee's new car with the hitchhiker driving it with the rest of the gang passed out inside the trailer, he gets cold feet and asks the hitchhiker to drop him off at Paddy's Pub, which he does along with the rest of the gang, followed by him stealing Dee's new car.
  • Global Ignorance : Mac, Dee and Frank try to play "50 states", but Mac and Dee get stuck after about the first three and start naming "states" such as Philadelphia and South Virginia, much to Frank's amusement.
  • Grievous Bottley Harm : Mac throws a beer bottle out the car window at a cyclist who was rude to Dennis, causing him to drive off the road and crash.
  • Horrible Judge of Character : Both Mac and Dee decide the hitchhiker is harmless and allow said hitchhiker to drive. He steals Dee's car after dropping everyone back off at Paddy's.
  • Jar Potty : Frank buys Dee a jar to pee into so that they don't have to keep stopping for her to use the restroom. She later throws it out the window once it's full, causing it to drench Mac - who's sleeping in the backseat with his window down - in her urine.
  • No, You : Mac: The antenna is probably broken on this PIECE OF SHIT CAR! Dee: You're a piece of shit... car.
  • Not Where They Thought : After a daylong struggle to get on the road to the Grand Canyon, the Gang allows a young hitchhiker to drive Dee's car so they can get drunk and pass out in the U-Haul. The next morning they realize they've stopped, and get out at what they think is the canyon... and realize the hitchhiker stole the car and stranded them right in front of Paddy's Pub where they started.
  • Politically Incorrect Villain : The gang continually refer to the vendors at the Italian market as "gypsies".
  • Road Trip Plot : The episode revolves around the gang's attempts to go on a road trip to the Grand Canyon — though predictably, they never make it more than twenty minutes away from Paddy's.
  • The Runaway : Dee realizes that the hitchhiker she picked up is a young runaway heading for Hollywood. She then starts drunkenly singing Soul Asylum's "Runaway Train" to him.
  • Running Gag : For the second time in as many seasons, Dee's car is lost or destroyed thanks to the antics of the gang.
  • "Shaggy Dog" Story : The episode ends with Dennis, Dee, Mac and Frank stepping out of the trailer they've been sleeping in only to find themselves back at the bar after Charlie got scared about leaving Philadelphia and the hitchhiker stole Dee's car.
  • Small Name, Big Ego : Lampshaded when Mac starts going on about his nonexistent self-defense skills. Dennis: How exactly do you view yourself, within the context of our group? Mac: ...The Sheriff of Paddy's?
  • They Look Just Like Everyone Else! : Discussed when Dennis warns Dee about picking up random hitchhikers; she says that the kid looked too sweet and innocent to be dangerous, to which Dennis argues that the ones who look unsuspecting are usually the most dangerous of all. Of course, the fact that it's Dennis saying all this only adds to the irony.
  • This Is for Emphasis, Bitch! : Charlie: I don't have a bucket list, dude, 'cause I'm not dying. Mac: Everybody's dyin', bitch. Let's get you some fruit.
  • You Keep Using That Word : The entire gang refers to haggling as "bartering". Bartering is the exchanging of goods for other goods.

gang road trip

Gang Ranch is located 45 kilometres north of Clinton, on the west bank of the Fraser River opposite Dog/Canoe Creek. For many years it was the largest ranch in North America, but now is the second-largest ranch in Canada, after the Douglas Lake Ranch.

Started by two American brothers (Thaddeus and Jerome Harper), after striking out on the Gold Rush Trail they settled on the west bank of the Fraser River in 1863 and began to drive cattle from the Northern United States to feed hungry gold miners in the area.

Visit Gang Ranch and the nearby Churn Creek Protected Area for a glimpse of ranching history in BC and to enjoy the stunning plateau scenery.

Day 3 , head south and stop in Jefferson City. The Missouri State Capitol offers free guided tours year-round, just make sure to make a reservation at least 24 hours in advance.

The Runge Nature Center in Jeff City is also a solid destination for any time of the year. This wildlife-filled outpost offers indoor exhibits and an aquarium for cold days, as well as nature trails and bird watching to enjoy on nice days. There’s a wide variety of hotels, specialty homes for rent on VRBO , and camping found in “America’s Most Beautiful Small Town.”

If you’d like a luxurious night of sleep without the 5-star price tag, book a night at Old Kinderhook Resort. The charming facilities of this resort include activities such as golf and ice skating. You can read reviews on TripAdvisor or find best prices at Hotels.com or Booking.com .

Missouri Fall Colors Road Trip

Total Miles: 541 miles | Contributed by Linda of Midwest Explored

If you’re searching for one of the best road trips in Missouri then you cannot beat a fall foliage-inspired trip to some of the best parks in the state. 

So, this incredible 541-mile journey will start in Weston Bend State Park and end in Table Rock State Park.

And while this drive can be done in just over 9 hours, definitely plan to spend between 4 and 7 days doing this iconic trip. 

This way you can go on hikes, kayak through rivers, and enjoy some of the most incredible fall colors that Missouri has to offer. 

Day 1 you’ll start your fall in Missouri trip at Weston Bend State Park. While here, conquer the West Ridge Trail for it’s great fall colors.

From Weston Bend State Park, take the scenic drive to Hermann, which is situated in the heart of Missouri’s wine country. One of the most scenic routes to take is to head south on Highway 45 towards Weston, then take Highway 273 towards Missouri 94.

This route will take you through beautiful countryside dotted with vibrant fall foliage. As you drive, you’ll pass through small towns and farmland, and enjoy stunning views of the Missouri River.

Augusta and Defiance are two small towns along Highway 94 known for their beautiful fall colors and scenic views and worth a stop.

Day 2 take a drive to Hermann wine country and it’s famous wine trail. 

In total, this incredible trail takes you to seven different wineries in the Missouri wine region of Hermann. Just be sure to stop at Adam Puchta Winery, which has been producing delicious wine since 1855 and the most famous of the all, Stone Hill Winery .

We recommend staying at the Inn At Hermannhof for nights one and two. This will allow you to explore town and wine taste to your hearts desire on day two without having to drive.

Day 3 drive to the Ozarks to visit Elephant Rocks State Park to see the giant boulders this area is known. If you visit in fall, the leaves should be a site to behold.

You can easily also visit Taum Sauk Mountain or Johnson’s Shut-Ins in the same day. This peak is home to the tallest point in the state and is overflowing with stunning fall foliage. 

We recommend the nearby Shepherd Mountain Inn for lodging on this day.

Day 4 make your way towards the Table Rock State Park in the Ozarks. This stunning park offers visitors a wide range of outdoor activities, including hiking, fishing, and camping. The park is also known for its breathtaking fall foliage, with vibrant shades of red, orange, and yellow covering the trees.

One of the best ways to experience the colors of autumn in this area is by taking a kayak trip down the White River.

Begin your adventure at the Table Rock State Park Marina, where you can rent kayaks and get instructions on how to paddle and maneuver through the river. As you paddle downstream, you’ll be surrounded by trees painted in rich shades of red, orange, and yellow.

Along the way, take in the scenic views of the surrounding hills and bluffs, and keep an eye out for local wildlife like bald eagles, ospreys, and herons. You may also spot some trout swimming in the river, as this area is known for its excellent fishing.

Missouri Covered Bridges Road Trip

Total Miles: 438 | Time Without Stops: 7.5 Hours

Recommend Time For Trip: 2 Days

Missouri has several historic covered bridges that are worth exploring, and a covered bridges road trip is a great way to see them all.

If you start in Kansas City, it’s possible to see all four of Missouri’s covered bridges in one day. Another option is to make it a two day road trip and stay the night in either St. Louis for a big city experience or Augusta if you enjoy wine tasting.

Day 1 starting from Kansas City, drive approximately 100 miles northeast to reach the Locust Creek Covered Bridge in Linn County. This bridge was built in 1868 and spans 151 feet across Locust Creek. It is the longest of the four covered bridges in Missouri and has been beautifully restored.

From there, drive approximately 85 miles southwest to reach the Union Covered Bridge in Monroe County. This bridge was built in 1871 and spans 81 feet across Indian Creek. It is the shortest of the four covered bridges in Missouri but is still a great sight to see.

  • If you plan to stop in St. Louis for the night I recommend the historic St. Louis Union Station Hotel .
  • If you plan an overnight in Augusta I recommend the H.S. Clay House Bed & Breakfast .

Day 2 drive approximately 1 hour from Augusta or 40 minutes from St. Louis to reach the Sandy Creek Covered Bridge in Jefferson County. This bridge was built in 1872 and spans 74 feet across Sandy Creek. It is the only covered bridge in Missouri that still carries vehicle traffic, so you can drive across it and experience what it would have been like to cross a covered bridge in the past.

Finally, drive approximately 86 miles northwest to reach the Burfordville Covered Bridge, located in Cape Girardeau County. This bridge was built in 1858 and spans 140 feet across the Whitewater River. The bridge is open to pedestrians and provides a great opportunity for photos.

We have a detailed Missouri Covered Bridge itinerary with full details of each stop and hotel suggestions.

Islanders completely fall apart against sabres in disastrous end to road trip.

BUFFALO — A road trip that started on a high ended with a giant splat.

The six-game win streak that saw the Islanders vault themselves back into playoff contention moved well out of sight in the rearview mirror on Thursday with a second straight defeat in disastrous fashion, 4-0 to the Sabres, as the visitors turned in a dilapidated and tired performance at KeyBank Center.

“For some reason, I thought we were flat tonight,” coach Patrick Roy said. “We didn’t play a good game.”

Instead of taking momentum back home with them, the Islanders are trudging back to New York needing very much to refind the game they so recently unlocked with just a solitary day off before a matinee back-to-back against Ottawa and the Rangers.

Kyle Palmieri #21 and Sebastian Aho #25 of the New York Islanders react following a second-period goal by Dylan Cozens #24 of the Buffalo Sabres during an NHL game at KeyBank Center on March 14, 2024 in Buffalo, New York.

This was a night where pretty much everything that could go wrong did, with the Islanders struggling to put together basic fundamental parts of their game, passing and receiving the puck poorly while looking out of sync all night.

“[Ilya Sorokin] was unbelievable tonight. It could’ve been a lot worse,” Bo Horvat said. “We gotta be a lot better than that if we want to win hockey games.”

The Islanders’ first shot on goal didn’t come until 10:15 into the game. Then after recording one 30 seconds into the second period, it took until the 7:20 mark to get their second of the frame. Shortly after, the train flew right off the tracks.

It looked for a while as though Sorokin could bail the Islanders out, with the goaltender playing at the top of his game, particularly in a first period that included an excellent glove save on Peyton Krebs.

But just 19 seconds after Anders Lee went off for interference early in the second period, Victor Olofsson found a way past the netminder, beating him with a sharp-angled look from below the right circle.

Just 5:19 later, the rout was on.

Dylan Cozens doubled Buffalo’s lead after Sorokin left Connor Clifton’s rebound free in the middle of the ice. Then Henri Jokiharju’s shot through traffic deflected off the stick of Zach Benson and in, with Roy losing a subsequent challenge for goaltender interference at the 9:41 mark.

“We weren’t executing very well and I think when you’re not executing very well in a game like that it’s best to fire as many pucks on net, get pucks deep,” Matt Martin said after returning to the lineup following a one-game absence with an upper-body injury. “We’re trying to make, probably one too many plays and we weren’t that sharp so they weren’t connecting like they have over the last couple weeks.”

Zach Benson (L) #9 of the Buffalo Sabres falls over Ilya Sorokin #30 of the New York Islanders while following the play during an NHL game at KeyBank Center on March 14, 2024.

All the while, the Islanders never looked remotely threatening until the game was beyond their reach, with the power play turning in an 0-for-4 night, in which the most eventful moments were Horvat hitting the post and Lee whaling on Clifton after the Buffalo defender took down Pierre Engvall.

Both those, however, came with the Islanders already down 3-0, with the latter resulting in the Islanders negating their own power play for the 19th time this season after Lee was given a roughing penalty in addition to a fighting major.

A resilient performance, this was not, as Benson added an empty-netter after Roy went six-on-five early.

This was instead the sort of performance the Islanders couldn’t afford, for reasons relating to their own confidence as much as the playoff race. All season, they have struggled to retain a high level of play over a long period of time and now, after accounting for 13 goals in the first two games of this trip, the Islanders have scored zero in their last 120:00 of play.

The only good news was that despite Tampa beating the Rangers, the Flyers and Red Wings both lost, allowing the Islanders to stay in the second wild-card spot.

Still, that won’t be for long if they can’t bounce back quickly.
