I took the greyhound from Oregon to Minnesota once - long trip. I got some interesting experiences out of it - weird bowling alley stop w/blacklights - no real food for the _entire trip_ (we just stopped at poorly stocked gas stations the whole way - the _best_ food stop was in S.Dakota wefinally stopped at a Dairy Queen.Yup.the best of the 3 day trip -gah.
I was in no rush - yet the constant, every 10 minutes it seemed, stops in tiny towns to maybe pick up someone,but usually not.. kinda drove me nuts. What was a 24 hour drive (1.5 days) doubled. And you can't pick where to stop. And some lady sprayed an entire bottle (exageration) on herself of nastyperfum. right before she got off the bus. The rest of us breathed her perfum for 2hours. & a nasty onboard toilet. and.. er.
If you couldn't drive, I'd take the train,honestly.
