My current plan is to leave AT MIDNIGHT the Sunday night before BBB and be
in Havasu on Tuesday or Wednesday.
So, that means I should actually be out of here by some time late Monday
night and arrive there Thursday.
I'm going to drag the bus to the shop a little later today and start the
prep. Empty it out completely. Maybe pull the motor to look at that pilot
bearing if I can get a spotter later this week.
Already decided I'm towing even if I get the clutch fixed.
I have Eric covered for the rack transport.
I'm HORRIBLE to travel with. 50 - 60 mph and I drive until I can't see
straight then pull over at the next available open area and sleep until I
wake up. No alarm clock. No schedule. No hotels. No mid-trip camp setup.
I've been looking at the route and will probably travel 190 out to Fort
Stockton then I-10 toward Phoenix and I-8 around south of Phoenix and one
of the I-10/I-8 connector highways to get back up on the other side of
Phoenix.
If the weather is nice I may go north from Fort Stockton again and up
through the mountains through Carlsbad and Alomorgodo to avoid driving
through El Paso.
Afraid I'll end up in snow/ice if I try to go farther north around the top
of White Sands missile range and I'm definitely not set up to tow (or even
drive really) in those conditions.
I really do like the "no Interstate Freeway" long trips though. The drive
to/from Jerome this year was great.
