Early April cross country jaunt - Page 4

Ok, here it is for anybody that wants to watch. I'll be on the road today at noon and Spot will be live then.

I expect to stop somewhere in Louisiana tonight, Mobile, AL tomorrow, and Jacksonville after.

I plan on leaving Jacksonville on Wednesday morning early, arriving in San Diego Thursday night approximately 46 hours later, goofing off in SD for a day or two, and makin' way back to OKC Saturday sometime.

cool, have fun sticky side down!

i'm lost, its fri morn, are you talking next week you'll start the long trip?

G-Rex · 03-30-2012, 08:21 AM

I'm heading to Jacksonville today/this weekend. Spend a few days out that way goofing off.

Next Wednesday, around 5am, I'll be kickstands up with the 50 hour clock starting, heading to San Diego. I'll stop Wednesday night in Kerrville, TX, back up around 5am and I'll wrap up the day in San Diego.

Spend another day or two goofing off in SD, then I'll start making way back to OKC next weekend sometime.

BTW Ed, if you have any tips for getting through Houston..er..expeditiously, let me know. I'll be coming through around 4pm-4:30pm, unless I leave Jax super early.

I know there's HOV, I assume it's clearly marked so I don't miss it. From looking at the system maps on the website, it looks like going westbound, I pick up the HOV just west of downtown. Does that sound right?

yup thats the quickest way west.

when on I-10w heading west nearing 610 loop stay on the far left, thats where the HOV entrance starts

LMK and i can meet up, that exchange is very near my office, and i can take that route home. and i usually get off at 4:30ish

Good luck and be careful! As a former truck-driver I can say no destination is worth pushing past too tired! I hope you make your goal but, if you pull over because you are too tired there's no shame in that!
