Something i want to do for my gf...

---

ok yea ive been wanting to walk to my gfs house sounds original but wait... and well she lives about 20 miles away...and i would have to walk on the highway about 80% of the time...i was just wondering...is this possible like..well i get in sum shit with the cops and how long would it take to walk that far? for an idea heres a mapmap deleted Why the hell would you post your street address here on the internet? -sdp

You could drive 19 miles and walk the last one. And if your girlfriend takes you home, then you could get a friend to drive you to your car the next day.

Is this an act of devotion? Usually, the police will pull over to assist you if you're walking along the hiway. You're generally not allowed to just walk along it.

PRESIDENT GEORGE BUSH TURNPIKE...they have two presidents covered now, so they won't have to waste money building another highway.You don't own a bicycle? In either case, you will surely be arrested if you try to walk the better part of 20 miles on an interstate highway. That's if you're lucky. If you're not, you will be run over.Are you saying that, around Dallas, there's no way to get from point A to point B without using an interstate? If you can't force the auto-routing thing not to use interstates, then get yourself a map and figure it out yourself.

yea i dont have a bike...and i dont have a car. so yea its pure devotion i really love her and ive been wanting to really do this. but i mean i dont want to get arrested and i sure as hell dont want to get run over. i just wanted to know if its possible to walk on the highway??...if thers a chance the cops arrest me...

If you look, you'll likely see a sign that says passenger vehicle traffic only, and a notice about what qualifies (motorcycles under 120cc are not allowed, for example).You'd be better off taking a cab.Is there a bus?As it's been asked before: Are there side-streets you can take that follow the same path?

ummm i doubt it and if there was im pretty sure theyd end at the point where i have to cross that big river map but even then i thought i would just cross it by walking on the rail road tracks.i just wanna show my girl that id do anything for her...i just wanna know if its worth it cuz i dont want to get in to neshit and make it all a BIG waste. and yea i dont even see her that often...we obviously have a long distance relationship and i only get to see her on avg. 1 every 4 months.

I understand your point and it would be an act of devotion. You realise it's going to basically take an entire day and you're going to be pretty done in when you finally arive.If you follow the highway, there is a high probability that you will get a citation and a ride in a cop car. Maybe you need to start working on plan B.

alright yea...i really dont have time for messin with cops i got to much going for me but owell...its a reall bummer but thanks for all the help though!

you're welcome.We're here to help (and hi-jack threads to bla-bla about our own stuff )

Yeah...getting hit by a train would also suck. I know public tranportation isn't a big thing in suburban Dallas, but there's gotta be a better way.

This might sound too obvious but if walking along the tracks get's him there, how about takinf said train.
TOTALLY thinking outside the boxcar here!

If there are local trains in Dallas, I'm surprised. It wasn't one of Governor Bush's priorities, which leaves folks like ballenlatino03 in the lurch.

I guess if you can't get where you're going by personally burning oil, you're screwed

Welcome to the U.S. Don't forget your credit cards.

Last time I went to texas, the security guy at Austin arport asked me if I had any guns. I said no. He said "well shit, you'd better take mine"

Even if you did walk it, you'd probably need something like a camel pak or a backpack with water in it. Then it would probably be safe to wear some sunscreen. By the time you'd get there, you'd be really tired, sweaty, and smelly.

Would you ever ask your parents to drive you there? I never asked for a ride from parents to a girl's house, but that's because I'm stubborn.

yea i could but like the thing is i wanted to like show her that id do nething for her...cuz i mean it would mean alot if i walked 20 miles across a freakin highway just to go see her.but i mean... stupid cops, i just want to do something nice without having to get into any shit

It would probably take the whole morning to get there, if you walk fast and don't stop much. It would take the whole afternoon to walk back. Unless you were planning to spend the night, you wouldn't have much time to see her. When do you normally get to see her?

like once every 4 months....and yea if i saw her id only be with her for like...30 minutes at the most ...but yea like my whole deal was that i wanted to do something really nice for her...show her that id do nething...but at the same time i dont want to get into any shit weve been going out for 2 yrs and 2 months...if that means nething to yall
