So, is there any word...

2 lane straight roads are really dangerous. There's an 80km flat straight road near the border with the US, you actually get passed by double trailers doing 190km/h, scary stuff

:eek: I'd shit my pants. Twice.

When I lived in Tucson I used to go to Mexico reasonably frequently so I know that isn't an exaggeration. The part I never got is traffic lights. Evidently most Mexican drivers consider them a suggestion?

Like anything going that slow would pass you, speedy. :D

I've seen trucks fly by me, but the double trailers tend to sway in the lanes a bit here when its breezy at 70, much less 120.

Plus, your Audi or my Mustang doing 120 isn't nearly the same as a double-trailer truck doing 120. The odds just don't come out favorably. ;)
 
I'd be willing to take the Dodge - God knows it's built for it. Even with someone to potentially share the drive, though, I'm thinking 2 day trip each way. Why kill yourself?

Oh, and 54 takes you through Liberal and Dodge City. They both are homes to gigantic feedlots for the meat packing industry. They both smell of cowshit nearly 24/7/365. :D

Every time I go to Fresno, I drive through Stratford, CA, where there's a cow yard right by the highway. One thing that makes me appreciate the Neon over the Honda is that the Neon has "recirculate" as an option on the ventilation system. :D

Yeah I agree. I was thinking about it...
It would be cool for me if we took 2 vehicles, but traveled together for more safety. :swing:
I dunno if I'll make it at this point....just think about different plans.... :confused:
 
everybody does realize they're making initial plans to go to KANSAS right ;)

sorry les...;)

Perhaps you dont understand.....:D This isn't a cow yard. These are feed lots. This isn't just a field. We're talking miles....the world's largest meat packing plant (IBP) is on 54. I think the cows even have their own truck stops....

I'm about a quarter mile from the highway. I'm sure I could find a spot for your rig if you wanted to stop by. :D
 
After June 10th works for me AFAIK right now...that's the latest date of my graduation. Anytime before than and it's almost for sure I wouldn't beable to make it.

I think this is the one in Stratford... http://www.wvmcattle.com/Auction/lot_detail.cfm?Action=Detail&Lot_ID=25961&Hdr=Video

I'm not sure the name of it, but it certainly smells. I'm not so sure the one in hte link is the one I'm thinking of though because at a quick glance it looks like there's a lot more than 70 head.

The Harris Ranch lot, located next to I-5 (a good bit north of the hotel, shop, etc. for obvious reasons), is quite stinky too.
