Ep. 21: Domestic Travel

Americans generally travel domestically in four ways: road trips, air travel, train travel, and boat travel. The boys start by sharing anecdotes about their experiences with each type of domestic travel; Joseph says that he traveled for free on military aircraft as a child and Nathan shares how he grew up in a house with a boat in the backyard along the Chicago river. They then question if Americans prioritize cost, convenience, or culture when making decisions on how to travel both domestically and abroad. Amongst other things they discuss Joseph’s recent bachelor party road trip, national parks attendance, the Indiana Dunes, the South Shore Line, the Catskills, and RVs.   Links: Top 10 Places to Build High Speed Rail In the U.S. by CityNerd Run Lola Run why would i fly it's only a 14 hour drive Notorious Gridlock of Colorado's I-70 (Upzoned Episode) Colorado’s I-70 Has America’s Most Notorious Ski Traffic.
