Where does the speed limit jump to 80 out there... I drove it not too long ago, but can't remember where that was, or do you have a pretty good idea what the drive time is from San Antonio and/or Dallas...
Yahoo Maps distance: San Antonio to El Paso 552. mi Time: 7 hrs 21 mins
Dallas to El Paso 636. mi Time: 9 hrs 3 mins This is from downtown Dallas... and San Antonio. i think we can figure 30 minutes shorted actual drive time. but then we figure in the stops and a lunch break... so,
Sa to EP... 8.5 hours
Dallas to EP...10 hours...
Houston to SA... 2.5 to 3 hours... So 11 hours to El Paso, with stops and lunch figured in...
That being the case... If the Houston folks left there meet up at 6:00 am, they could meet up with the San Antonio folks by 8:30 or so... 30 minutes to gas and break, say hellos' etc... SA and houston folks are on the road to El Paso by 9:00...This puts us in El Paso around 5:30...6:00...
Dallas folks leave their meet spot around 7:30 to 8:00, and arrive in El Paso around 5:30 ... 6:00
I am open to suggestions and assistance on this... and feel free to refine this...
Las Cruces is 45 minutes or so further up the road after getting through El Paso, and we will be getting there around rush hour, but I do not know how intense that is compared to Dallas, San Antonio, or the Bay Town Parking Lot...
I think the Dallas gang will have some folks from as far as Virginia joinging them to eventually meet up with all of us for the trip to Chandler... BlackHawk6, and maybe others...
I am trying to be considerate of all with this, and at the same time allow for us to get to Las Cruces, check in and maybe have some time to go over to De La Vegas... Where Pat is trying to set up a nice meet and eat deal...
We can sleep in a little Thursday morning, as it is only another 5.5 hours or so the rest of the way...
comments, suggestions...
