Look at Big Bend. Lots of desert. Real pretty, rugged. It will be way closer from Fredricksburg than the Roswell area. ----- Original Message ----- From: Brian Denning To: tcb@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Monday, November 17, 2008 2:55 PM Subject: [tcb] Re: ya'll have created a monster i would like to go for desert yes. any recommendations would be appreciated. i want to keep it under 2500 miles though because i'll only have 6 days and 2 of those would be used at texas classic ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ From: coocoo@xxxxxxx To: tcb@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [tcb] Re: ya'll have created a monster Date: Mon, 17 Nov 2008 14:51:45 -0600 What do people say it is? Carlsbad Caverns and Ruidoso are kinda near there, Las Cruces and White Sands are cool, but I have been to Roswell and it's not what I would call a destination. El Paso, either. You are going for desert? Dan and Kat have been all around there, I think. ----- Original Message ----- From: Brian Denning To: tcb@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Monday, November 17, 2008 2:32 PM Subject: [tcb] Re: ya'll have created a monster nope, just want to go see if it's all people say it is...worth the drive if i'm going 2k miles anyway ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: coocoo@xxxxxxx To: tcb@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [tcb] Re: ya'll have created a monster Date: Mon, 17 Nov 2008 14:28:35 -0600 Ever been to Roswell? ----- Original Message ----- From: Brian Denning To: tcb@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Monday, November 17, 2008 1:57 PM Subject: [tcb] Re: ya'll have created a monster man, looking at that, i'll definatley have to go there. i didn't realize roswell was so close to texas...i may have to go through there instead of albequrque (mainly so when i write my trip report i will be able to spell it correctly). -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: Mon, 17 Nov 2008 11:45:07 -0800 From: zane_13_13@xxxxxxxxx Subject: [tcb] Re: ya'll have created a monster To: tcb@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Stop in Lawton, OK. There is a little town called Cache and it is the entrance to the Wichita Mountains Wildlife Preserve. 62000 acres of grasslands and mountains. Free roaming buffalo and longhorn. It is a very nice place to camp and hike. Google it for pics and such. --- On Mon, 11/17/08, Brian Denning <i_am_cool_fred@xxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: From: Brian Denning <i_am_cool_fred@xxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: [tcb] ya'll have created a monster To: tcb@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Date: Monday, November 17, 2008, 1:11 PM I was cleaning out my "man room" the other day and came across some pictures of a road trip my friend jason and i took in his 83 aircooled vanagon. i looked through them and told diana, "i want to do that again." Her response was "when does your vacation pay start at work?" Well my first response was "yea right, you're so full of it" and she said i think you'd get bored by yourself. I told her she should come. she said no but what about jason (another dude named jason, not the one you guys know). so i called and he said hell yea. So here is the plan. I am going to revolve this trip around the Texas VW classic. my plan is to work half a day on friday and drive down to fredricksburg to kick off the next ultimate road trip. do the whole fredricksburg shin-dig and then on sunday go to El Paso, find a nice place to camp and then on monday go to albuquerque, New Mexico. camp somewhere nice and then head for either Amarillo or Oklahoma city. then back home. i have the horrible habit of planning everything out so these will be the destination points...everything else will be stricktly based on here's a campsite, let's go here. here is what the circle looks like on mapquest: http://i114.photobucket.com/albums/n256/i_am_cool_fred/Picture1-3.png does anyone else have any recommendations on where to start, stop or go to? i want it to be fun, and want to go across some open ranches and see some longhorns. looks like it will be about 2300 miles of driving :D ------------------------------------------------------------------ Stay up to date on your PC, the Web, and your mobile phone with Windows Live Click here -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Windows Live Hotmail now works up to 70% faster.
