Re: Kinda what I'm thinking about - DP trip
Where are we staying for the halfway point over night? Rick, you mentioned Albuquerque? Do you have a hotel or camp site?

I plan on grabbing a hotel just for convenience so I don't have to unload anything, about to google that up now actually.SputnikSam wrote:Where are we staying for the halfway point over night? Rick, you mentioned Albuquerque? Do you have a hotel or camp site?

I'm thinking this will be leg 1, based on the photos I can park a trailer no problem

Then only ~7 hours to escalate, gets us in early enough that we can setup camp at a relaxed pace

Re: Kinda what I'm thinking about - DP trip
ok yea booked that hotel, it has free breakfast - there are lots of hotels in that are and full disclosure I didn't look real hard so it's probably not the best deal or best one but it's a bed and a shower, with breakfast at not a crazy rate.
I'm thinking no later than 8 am departure this sat

Re: Kinda what I'm thinking about - DP trip
When you say depart by 8, do you mean you depart your house by 8? Sam is about 35 minutes from here up 35W. I can get to him early and meet you in Decatur at around 8:45.
Any particular time bad tomorrow to get the trailer? I'm thinking in the AM but not real early.
I also went ahead and booked the hotel.

I'm heading out to meet some folks for lunch at around 10:15 so any time before that would be fine

I do believe they pack up shop tomorrow to head back this way (arriving Saturday). I expect them to update sometime Sunday or Monday.

But even a bad vacation is better than a day at work. No?

Re: Kinda what I'm thinking about - DP trip
I kept checking for updates also.... Bad Vacation hu? That sucks. My guess is Rick will want to come home, regroup and get back out there and do it right!

Re: Kinda what I'm thinking about - DP trip
Yeah bad vacation days suck. The problem is (correct me if I'm wrong here, as it's been a while. {rub it in Marty..rub it in.}) that employers don't generally give you any vacation days back to do over again.Tooner wrote: My guess is Rick will want to come home, regroup and get back out there and do it right!
Just like while at work, the slave drivers expect you to get it right the first time.

Re: Kinda what I'm thinking about - DP trip
He was stuck in Albuquerque for several days and Jeff and Sam went ahead to go ride.
Rick has only had 2 days of riding as of today. Yesterday, it seemed that everyone kept wrecking and today was nothing but sand SO...he isn't a happy camper

You don't seem to have much luck when it's only 3 on a trip.
