Heading on a trip

[bigrank916 72]

Well Im heading on a road trip this coming Tuesday to Conway, Arkansas. Im riding with my stepfather to sell his truck to a friend and then we will fly back. Plan on heading out CA99 to Bakersfield then 40 all the way over for a straight shot. So that route will take us through Flagstaff, Arizona; Albuquerque, New Mexico; Amarillo, Texas; Oklahoma City, Oklahoma; just short of Little Rock, Arkansas. About 2000 miles give or take a few. Probably take about 2.5 to 3 days to get there. Cant wait to "get on the road again". Just lookin for some points of interest that you southerners might know of. Stuff like good truck stops, diners, hotels, wierd gas stations, or the worlds largest ball of twine! You know, shit like that. Ive never been east on the road like this. Only a plane trip out to Fort Benning, Georgia to watch my bro graduate from basic training. Which I will say was one of the best trips of my life. I have to say I love the people and their really cool attitudes which is nothing like us Cali aholes. I just love to see the world and the different people in it. So if you guys have spots we should check out, feel free to share.

You decide to take the I-10 coming back and go through southern Arizona let me know. I am on the way back west but east of Tucson. Close to Tombstone, and some other fun shit. Its not GREAT but it beats some other shit.

Well that would be nice but ole paps doesn't want to drive back and we have already bought our plane tickets as well. I would like to but it would probably cost more money and we are being paid to

drive there. Thanks for the offer though, I always like to rub elbows with fellow car audio enthusiast.

I just made that trip... well a similiar one...

from LA to flagstaff az, through NM, TX, OK (got pulled over in OK for doing 42 in a 40, then had the dogs called to search my car----looking for large quantities of cocaine) through KS, MO, IA, and finally home in IL

Flagstaff has a TON of stuff around it. you could spend a week there. Other than that I did a straight drive so I dunno

I'm sure I missed tons of stuff.. (after my drug search, I was more than ready to be home)

Hardly saw any state troopers at all. Matbe 5-10 through all the states. Never got a whiff from a cop except about 50 miles from Conway. We passed by him on a turn about and he waited about 30 seconds to pull out to follow us. Probably saw that Cali plate and wondered what the hell these boys doin out here. Followed about 2-3 min then turned off again. Just enough time to run the plates I guess. I wish I had seen more of Arizona. When we drove through it was dark.

And how the hell do you boys make it out there with that damn humidity?! That shit is crazy. The weather was 85-90 with thunderstorms and 80-100% humidity. Ive never seen shit like that. Love the scenery and people, hate the weather.
