     A  A All,
     A  A I just sent out emails to those I understand are headed East to
     the Fun
     A  A Rally.
     A  A I'm trying to herd cats (get it?) so we can travel together or
     at least
     A  A know who is out on the Interstate with us, which could come in
     handy in
     A  A case of "problems".
     A  A I've come up with this possible itinerary. Nothing yet in
     stone.
     A  A Starting point for this itinerary is the home of John and
     A  A Kathy Buckman, in Vista, California, a bit north of San Diego.
     A  A Monday, May 11 - Leave Vista early a.m.
     A  A Rendezvous with Judy and friend Rochelle in Yuma
     A  A continue to overnight stop at Tucson - 240 miles
     A  A total mileage - Judy, 400 ... Larry, John and Kathy, 450
     A  A Tuesday, May 12 Leave Tucson
     A  A overnight stop at Van Horn, Texas
     A  A mileage - 440
     A  A NOTE: Van Horn is in the middle of nowhere and while it only
     appears in
     A  A a very close Google view (I-10 at US-90), it seems to be a
     traveler's
     A  A overnight area. Hampton Inn, Red Roof, Quality Inn and several
     other
     A  A lodging options.
     A  A Wednesday, Leave Van Horn
     A  A overnight at Junction TX
     A  A mileage - 320
     A  A Thursday, Leave Junction
     A  A arrive Lake Torretta Resort in early afternoon
     A  A mileage - 290
     A  A The route is pretty obvious on I-10 all the way to Junction,
     TX.
     A  A Leaving Junction, there are two clear routes East around
     Austin, one on
     A  A the North and the other to the South. Mileage differences are
     nil, so
     A  A research/feedback on the two approaches might show one to be a
     A  A safer/more scenic/twisty turny route. Perhaps the Panteras take
     A  A the `fun' route and the rest a simpler route?
     A  A ------------------------------
     A  A If you are driving, please let me know. If you have feedback on
     this
     A  A itinerary as to things to avoid (radar traps) or places to stay
     or
     A  A whatever, please feel free to share.
     A  A Thanks,
     A  A Larry
