So for those of you who are interested in going on the WA Convoy trip this July, I've gone through another revision of the itinerary, this time carefully mapping out the times involved, and it's looking like this:
Tues 7/15
7am: Leave Todd's place, drive 1.5 hours to Merramac Caverns
9-12pm: Caverns tour, should be back on the road by noon at the latest
12-7pm: Long, 7 hour drive to campsite
7pm: Camp at El Reno, OK (just west of OK city)
Wed 7/16
7am: Leave campsite, drive 3.5 hours to Amarillo, TX
10:30-2pm: Visit Cadillac Ranch & lunch @ Big Texan Steak Ranch
(BTW, I spoke with a lady who works there who told me we don't need reservations.
Also, they have a special "Steak Cam" that live streams anyone trying the steak challenge on their website!

I thought that one way to save some money is to take AdrianHD up on his generous offer and crash at his apartment the night of Wed 7/16. EDIT: Adrian got back to me and said it was fine to crash at his place, for free (maybe we can order some of that Breaking Bad pizza for dinner!). Also, he can take us on the BB Tour Thursday morning no problem. then, it's on to Roswell, NM:
2pm-5:30: Travel to Roswell
5:30-7:30: Buy alien shit in Roswell, etc.
7:30-10:30: Travel to Albuquerque, crash at Adrian's for the night
Thur 7/17
