Chasing Eris

[Placid Dingo]

I'm in, but I hear my work doesn't travel well.   

Damn yuooo!

But seriously, thank you, that would be great. There seem to be a number of spags in Texas so I'll be down the south for at least part of the journey, as current plans go.

Be warned:  It's a long, long way from Texas.  You have to cross New Mexico and half of Southern Arizona to get here, and that's not counting the Texas part of the drive.

Call it a thousand miles...Which is about 50 liters in metric.

I've done that drive, and I kind of love it.

Oh wait, I got confused. I meant I felt like I might die at any moment.

East Texas to central Texas is a fairly interesting drive, once you get past the refinery-stench towns near the Louisiana border. Just be careful of the cops, especially in Fayette county. I guess they still miss the extra income from the Chicken Ranch ("A-haw haw haw haw" - Billy Gibbons) and they've been pulling people with out-of-town plates over for decades and finding excuses to lock them up. Too bad, it's beautiful rolling hills, historic battlegrounds and Victorian houses...but go around it if you can. After San Antonio, everything dies but an occasional mesquite tree. They call it a desert, but it used to be a shortgrass prairie. A bunch of cattlemen ran their cows over it after the Comanches were starved into moving to the rez in OK (mass slaughter of buffalo), so no more topsoil. It looks post-nuclear, with an occasional community of mutant teabaggers hanging in crappy bars.

New Mexico isn't a lot different, but it does have bigass rock formations, tourist kitsch and an occasional lake.

I leave AZ to the residents to describe. There are hints scattered all over this board, but it has to be experienced.

Harassed a travel agent and they suggested sticking to rail and planes.

Good call. They might even know about Fayette county. 

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

Honestly, I did kind of enjoy the drive. AND I felt like I might die at any moment, which might be part of why I enjoyed it.

Seriously, you haven't almost died  lived until you've driven from Austin to Phoenix in a 1968 VW bug.

Unless you've also driven through Wyoming in that same bug and had the wind rip the hood open at 75mph on the freeway.


I can't remember what it was, now, but something also happened in Carlsbad. Oh, I think that the muffler fell off.

You know what's in Carlsbad?

FUCKING NOTHING.

[Anna Mae Bollocks]

Yeah, I think their main attraction is a cave.

[Juana]

Yeah, I think their main attraction is a cave.

And the cave's not really worth the boring ass drive through some of the ugliest places in the entire Southwest.

[Placid Dingo]

Wow thanks Nyx. Thats a hell of a list. I'll have a look though.

I went to it, too... I thought it was pretty neat, and I loved how the lobby area was stuck in 1976.
