We are going to stay the night at the http://rt66casino.com/home on Monday night.   The rooms are 89.00 if anyone else is interested.  This is the meet up point that Gregg suggested above.  We will meet there at 8am to depart towards Vegas. Location is 20 or so miles west of Albuquerque, NM. on south side of road.  

Is this ok with everyone else?

We can meet you all there by 8am. We are staying at a La Quinta on the west side so should be close to you.


Thanks

Planning to depart Red Roof at 7am...  Going to grab something to eat and fill up the gas tank at the station right next to Casino...  Leave there at 8am...

Red Roof is just fine for me and my co-pilot...  But the Casino is a great place for everyone stopping in ABQ to meet up on Tuesday Morning...

Now to finish packing all my crap for the trip...

We arrived in ABQ today!  No problems on the drive other than some early morning rain.  Lots of DPS and other LEOs on US 287.  Didn't see any on I40 west of Amarillo in TX because they were working a very bad accident.  Lifeflight was there and the car looked horrible.  Speed limit on I40 is 75 from Amarillo to ABQ in case anyone is wondering.

Everyone be safe...

Just arrived and checked in to the RedRoof. I'm in room 119. I'm going to call it a night early seeing as the 2yr old didn't let me sleep much last night but feel free knock on the door and say hello. Otherwise I'll see guys in the morning at the Casino.

I saw a ton of Texas cars I had never seen before but somehow I didn't get to meet any of you! :banghead:  Don't know how that happened....

I figured most of them were from north of Austin as I know the majority of the Austin/Houston/San Antonio people. Guess I'll just have to meet you at the next Texas event!

Hey Chris!  

No worries!  The drive out was fun and even with your tires WAY WAY better than the drive back!  

Glad to have met up with everyone and thanks again for the company!
