We did a 2,000+ mile trip to Portland and back to pick up a friend's grail pin. (A flipper less game called Sporty) We turned it in to a fun road trip, met tons of pinsiders that opened up their homes and collections to us and, in the end, even came home with a couple of new to us EMs for ourselves.
We've also driven to Idaho, Utah, Arizona and most of California to pick up pins. Usually in my '58 Chevy pickup. But Portland was the longest. Oh, and we'll be taking a southwest road trip at the end of this month. No pin pickups scheduled for this trip. Yet...
