Yeah, yeah . . .  we've all seen this and discussed it.  But it has me thinking!

Witness the Pantera Urban Legends:

**    Traversing NM at average speeds well over 100mph [1],
**    The wholesale closing of  southbound I15 to intercept a convoy,
**    The infamous Cruise to Mt. Charleston interception,
**    Traversing a sparsly populated western state at speed which precluded the county law enforcement aircraft from keeping up,
**    the first use among law enforcement of the term "shoot on sight speeds"
(all of which sound very much like something old Bill Fries would sing about:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C._W._McCall  )

which all causes one to wonder if such behavior without adult supervision is a good idea.

If the Mid America Pantera Squadron Road Trip to Phoenix will meet me in Albuquerque, perhaps together we can enjoy the Cruise to Lordsburg via the Backdoor. (116 miles) 

"Backdoor into Lordsburg" (sounds like a C&W song, donut?)  OK, all together now (to the tune of Last Train to Clarksville) "Its the Backdoor to Lordsburg, they'll meet me in T or C . . . ."
