Driving 15 hours Thursday to almost Arizona. Waking up Friday morning to see the Grand Canyon, then driving to Vegas afterwards for 3 nights at The Luxor. LSU spanking USC Sunday night which is walking distance from hotel. Driving back Monday morning. Spending the night in Albuquerque Monday night, then back to Minden Tuesday. Man I cannot wait.

Sounds tiring to this old man. But I admire the effort.

I drove from Scottsdale Az a few days back from Covington, la. For work. It’s a beautiful ride. 1550 miles. Was a piece of cake since it’s so neat to look at. Have fun!

Doesn't sound like you will be in this smaller city but Flagstaff, AZ is in my top 3 or 4 smaller cities in America. Lowell Observatory, pine trees, ski resort just north of town, Grand Canyon a bit further north, Sedona just south a bit, etc. Oh, and N Arizona University.

Flying from S Florida to Vegas on Friday. Staying 4 days at the Fontainebleau which is new and really nice for about $430/night. Then off to San Diego for 4 days to see family...

If you go through San Antonio to and from Minden, you're on a long, strange trip.

Anybody not staying at the Four Seasons is trashy.

Spending the night in Albuquerque Monday night

If you’re a fan you should definitely swing by Walter White’s house Tuesday morning. I passed through there four years ago and it’s not far off I-40, east of I-25.



It’s not hard to find stories about how crazy the lady is who lives there. She really does sit out in the driveway waiting for people to yell at. If you zoom in you can see her in the driveway glaring at me as I took the photo.

Also drove by the car wash since it wasn’t far from the house.



Also, if you drive into Albuquerque on I-40 west and it happens to be dark or getting dark you’re in for one hell of a treat. The view of the city at night coming down out of the hills is amazing.

LSU spanking USC Sunday night


This honestly better happen. No more bullshitting around on these Labor Day weekend games. USC lost their QB, RB and WR production. No freaking excuses. Beat their arse or it’s another reliaquest type of season!

AMac,

I live in Minden as well, but I will not be able to make the trip. I will be stuck at work.
