[DeTomaso] Part I: Road to Phoenix---Oklahoma City to Roswell

[Charles Engles]

Dear John,

 

 

                         I am partial to that route from experience.   I am
sure that it is probably not a good fit for DFW or Houston.   I think
coordinating a tri-city caravan may be a challenge.    I think that OKC
contingent will have a handful of Panteras.    How big is Space City's
contingent?   DFW's?

 

 

                        Looking at the map, Roswell is a bit north for a DFW
start and is out of the way for Houston.    Maybe three smaller caravans?

 

 

 

                                                Warmest regards,  Chuck
Engles

I like the use of secondary highways on your route.  Unfortunately, that
particular route is a bit out of the way for the Houston drivers, and I
suspect, the Texas Metroplex contingent.

 

Would you consider an alternative path out of Fort Worth which is
equidistant between us?

 

Perhaps, I am putting to much effort into the caravan together thinking.
Although, I realize that we will have at least one truck with trailer to
haul spare wheel tire combos, parts and additional luggage which would
enhance safety, timely arrival and comfort.

Part I

Proposed Trip from OKC to Chandler, Arizona.  This is part one for day one
from OKC to Roswell, New Mexico.  There is a link for the map at the end of
this email.    Part two for day two from Roswell, New Mexico to Chandler,
Arizona is in the next separate email.

Part One: contains a small  amount of superslab and mostly
Oklahoma-Texas-New Mexican backroads.  I took this route from San Diego to
OKC in 2007.  I thought it was much, much better than I-40 superslab.  

I would be happy to hear suggestions from my New Mexican Pantera brothers
about the planned route.

 

                  Warmest regards, Chuck Engles
