Oct 2020 Trip to Texas

Post by Sir Henry » Wed Sep 23, 2020 1:42 pm

I leave for Texas on October 3rd for a quick dash down and back. I’ll only be gone seven days.

I usually put together half-size notebooks with all the information I might need. This trip I will use a previous book.

I’ve driven this route so many times I don’t need a map so this multi-state map is there so I can track my progress.

You can see some days I didn’t have to drive very far in this 29 day trip in 2019.

I’ve been there three times and love it. It’s one of my favorite tourist traps. This trip requires 16 hours of drinking then 10 hours rest and 16 more hours of driving. No stops except for pee breaks and gas. I will take enough food and drinks so I never have to go inside for anything. I have no problem stopping at a remote exit to pee alongside the road.

Sad the Roy Rogers Museum closed a couple years ago. Same with the Buddy Holly Museum in Lubbock.

No. I’m lucky to get 20 mpg towing it. I’m sleeping in the back of the Outback and will do the trip down in 48 hours. Last time I took three weeks.

Traffic is backed up from Arches National Park to Moab so I’m going to take a nap in the parking lot.
