Today was our day to depart but we have rain all the way down 67 and 30 through Arkansas and into Tx. It will be kinda cool tomorrow. Looks like we might have 3 good days of travel Wed-Friday. The evening temps should be in the 40's, and lots of sunshine during the daylight hours. Our plan is to get off I-30 and cut across north Tx. on 82. We have not seen this area before and the 2 lanes look much better to me than the interstates. Our hope is to angle down and hit I-20 at Sweetwater. I have the tracker running in the GMC. We enjoy our family and friends "riding" along with us via the tracking system. You may access it at:

I also have the link at the top of our blog that can be accessed at:
http://danandteri.blogspot.com/
My amateur radio license is WD0AFQ should you need to poke it in the slot on the map. That is a ZERO after D and before A.
Should you see us on the road, Silver and Black coach with a black Bra on front, pulling a Black Ponitac Vibe, honk and wave. Maybe run us down and invite us over for supper. Very Happy Don't tell Teri I said that. She says I embarrass her sometimes.
We also run the netbook online so email us along the way if you want. I am pretty good with internet while driving the GMC as there is a great secretary emplyed in our coach. She takes dictation very well.
Hope to see some of you out on the road.
Dan

Dan,

It's supposed to get up to 71 in Duncan by Friday. Cold in Tucson (high of 50 [we're spoiled]) today and heading your way. You'll be driving into nicer weather as you head west.

If you [any of you] ever come across I-40 or US 60 or up or down I-25, I
have a place 1/2 mile east of the semi-warm Rio Grande with elec, fresh
ground coffee and choices of food/dinner for all RVer's that are members
here --We'd love to see more than the two rigs We've been in.

Adiós. . .

Dan,

We've traveled across Texas west of I-35 on both US 180 and US 380. Both better than the Interstate if you're not in a hurry. Unless you are visiting in Sweetwater I'd stay north.

Thanks Bob and Hal. I may have been close to your place in times past, on 60. We don't want to do the run down from Carlsbad to El Paso this time Hal, that is why I am hitting the interstate at Sweetwater/Roscoe. We just hope to take our leisurely time until we hit the interstate again. May take us 3 days this time but that is fine as long as the weather is good. Last Christmas Day, 09, it was a mad dash. I left here in snow and had to park it in Dallas as 20 was closed west of Weatherford out to the west.
I better get busy. Teri thinks I am not pulling my weight here loading up.

Hey Dan
My new Streets 2010 says there are few miles of construction on I10 just into New MX.

I'm making the run down I10 to Phoenix a few weeks after you. Streets also suggested cutting out I10 from Midland to ElPaso by taking 158 out of Midland then 302, 295, 652 and then a little of 180 across the North side of El Paso. Maybe a 6 of 1 or a half a doz thing, but I have never been that way in 40 years of going down 10 so I'm going to try something different than the wide open space through Van Horn. Although, there should be some 80 MPH on that stretch of 10!

Thanks Don, mine shows the same route, 09 version. But, I do not like the 6500 ft pass on 180 or the mountain pass on north side of El Paso. So, I will probably ride 20/10 and laugh at the agent that caught Willie yesterday in Sierra Blanca check station.

That might work Chris, I am not sure. We will stop by Rob's in Queen Creek on our way. I hope to be in Q. around the 15th.

With the Barrett Jackson starting that week, it's probably the biggest exposure the GMC community could get among old car fans.

Ok, I will make sure the black bra on front of the coach is really shiny. How much do they charge for us to walk in and see stuff the week before the autcion?

Willie Nelson got popped for smoking pot on his bus Sunday morning as they went thru the check station there on I-10.

No, I think it start Jan 17th or so. We're trying to get some guys to help represent the GMC community at a cruise night on Jan 15th 4pm-8pm closest to the Barrett Jackson. I hope I can make it.

Well, we had the grandkids for the last time tonight, until we get home in the Spring. Teri and I are rolling south and west in the morning. Hope to make it to Paris, Tx. about dark. Honk and wave if you see us out there in our silver and black GMC.

Dan,


You said

"My amateur radio license is WD0AFQ should you need to poke it in the slot on the map. That is a ZERO after D and before A."

Not sure what that means. Is there a way to 'call' you via
your tracker web site?


By the way, just got my radio license (with BIG help from
Desmond on Treasure Island).

My call is WQMP883.

Richard, all you need to do is click the link:
http://aprs.fi/?call=WD0AFQ&mt=m&z=11&timerange=21600
Several hams on here use this for their tracking systems. Anyone can look at us but one must be a ham radio operator to use it.
You can play around with the times and call signs over on the right of the page.
