/images/graemlins/cool.gif <font color="blue"> First, excuse me for requesting info, as it may be the wrong forum and I do not wish to irritate anyone. I'm looking at taking a two week vacation in February/March of 2004 to the Phoenix area, and combine it with work prospecting as well along the way. (The last of our jobs will be outsourced in May, amid all the lies to date, so.....gotta keep looking now that the shoulder is healing up good).
I've asked many folks around here for the best route that time of year, and have received little info. Snowbirds have already left... I'd like to drive, visit relatives in the Independence, MO area as well.
I live near Eau Claire, WI. and figured I go cross country to I-90, to Albert Lea, MN, hit I-35 to KC area, take I think Hwy 50 south of there to Hwy 54, and cross Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas and into New Mexico, then I'm not sure, I-40 or down to I-10. I've flown to visit relatives twice in AZ, but not much driving experience in the soutwest. I've ony been as far south as Branson, MO, so sort of dumb here.
Anyone from the Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma, New Mexico area have any good suggestions, as well as how long from say KC to Phoenix.
I might stop in and see if MaxThrust in Twoson has any lefse left over, which I sent him. Once again, apologies for posting this, and hope it doens't offend anyone.
Any ideas on preparing my 2003 Jetta TDI GL, other than the 10K service before I go, from any and all road veterans. Just not sure what to expect in the weather. Since I've lived in WI 52 years, I know what to expect here, just not anywhere else. Thanks much folks, you're a great bunch of people on this forum.
