Where is the closest place to go from Louisiana to play in the snow December-February?|185243

We want to take our kids to see and play in snow for Christmas, but may need to wait until February before we can get away. Time constraints only allow us 4-5 days to work with, and we don_t want to use it all travelling. We live in Louisiana. Any help is appreciated! Tell me of your trip, or maybe you live somewhere and know some secret places that are great. It doesn_t have to be a tourist town. Thanks!

i would have to say up near hotsprings arkansas, maybe branson missouri.

Maybe the Virginias?

How about North Carolina? Or perhaps the northern parts of Mississippi and Alabama?

probably arkasas or maybe indiana

What is the cheapest and fastest source of transportation to get from West Covina to San Pedro, CA?|184762

And back. It_s about an hour drive. I have no car and everyone I know is too busy to take me there.

yes there is route you can take first take the foothill sliver streak
bus to El Monte station (get a transfer)
then board a metro 577 express bus to Long beach then take
the 577 bus to its last stop at the Long beach transit mall
then board a LADOT 147 bus to San Perdo
you can get ez pass which will be good on all buses for about $80.00
(although you will still have pay a zone fare on the silver street and the 577)

Go to
http://www.metro.net/default.asp,
or call their 800 number and see what they can tell you.

You_re going from one end of the county to the other and it_s a bit of a stretch, but I bet it won_t be as bad as you think.

Best of luck !!

I really don_t think there is any fast way that_s cheap, or cheap way that_s fast.

Take a cab or go on line and check out the metro

www.metro.net

Cheap and fast are contradictions.

Try hitchhiking or use your bike if you have some spare time.

What is the easiest way to drive from Victoria Texas to scottsbluff Nebraska?|195274

I have never driven out of the state of texas.
I have to get to scottsbluff soon. Daughter is pregnant and homeless. She needs my help.
I don_t even know how much gas it will cost to get there just guessing. Thank you for any help you can give me.

The fastest way according to various mapping programs is to take US-87 north to US-183 north to I-35, and then take I-35 north until you reach I-80 in Nebraska, then go west to Scottsbluff. The total mileage is about 1,250 miles each direction -- you can see a more detailed route by going to the link below and then typing in _Victoria, TX to Scottsbluff, NE_ as your search.

Note that the route given to you in another answer suggesting you go through Wyoming and Colorado is actually two hundred or so miles longer than the route listed above -- it_s closer to 1400 miles each way, not 1100.

Lemme do one thing at a time here
I_m gonna try to keep you in civilization for as much of this as possible
Enter this into mapquest and except for the Amarillo _ Lamar CO ,I_ve actually driven this route and in winter
Victoria TX[ i used the one by Waco ] _ Amarillo TX _ Amarillo TX_ Lamar CO _ Pueblo CO _ Cheyenne WY _ Scottsbluff NE 1100 miles Realistically speaking :Stop and sleep for a couple of hours in a motel between pueblo _ colorado springs
Gas stuff
1200 miles / 25 mpg = 48 gallons x $ 3.00 per gal=$ 144.00
motel $ 50.00
Warning ! Dress warm and carry xtra food and bblankets in your car
Safe trip
need more info just ask
Edit :
It turns that there are two _Victorias _ in the State of Texas
I chose the one by waco not the one by corpus
If I had selected the one by corpus and routed it
Victoria_Amarillo _Lamar CO _ Cheyenne WY _ Scottsbluff NW the mileage would be 1250
However there_s an advantage to this routing in terms of speed :
Only one major city to deal with -Denver and not 3-5 and if you hit Dallas or Kansas City at the wrong tme of day it will realy slow you down
