points of interest along the way to SF rally?

[rfoster]

To Someone that knows:

What should a couple of old toots plan to see and do along the way to Santa Fe? Anybody got any must see or do stops?
Grand Canyon? Vegas? been there more than twice- always leave will less than when I arrived. Roswell for the space aliens?
Roger& Micki:cool:

Fast Roger,

One site not to be missed is Jon's driveway thrill ride - just off I-40 in Knoxville.

See you in Sante Fe.

Mango

[Just Plain Jeff]

We'll be posting a bunch of highlights about New Mexico and nifty stop bys to and from the area. If you have Google Earth, check out the Santa Fe area, Albuquerque, Espanola, Chimayo, Los Alamos (where Jon is NOT allowed to touch anything).

There are a ton of things to do in the area if someone has the time to make some discoveries and pleasant memories.

The Sled Dog will be leading an excursion to the Turquoise Trail as well.

BTW, the distances out there are big, perfect for Prevost cruising.:o

[MangoMike]

World's largest cross - somewhere on I-40 between SF & Knoxville. Stop and pray for Jon.

A guy could have a slide out like this:

Jerry:
I can see this is going to be a fun trip - Thanks for the suggestions on Points of Interest-Especially the high rise Mobile Home - hee hee pretty nice - we got a lot of those around here. Presidental Musem, Adult Book Store, and Bait shop all rolled into one. - I totaled a pickup in Ft Smith once upon a time, I hope to drive thru without incident this time.
I see feedback coming in from others, I bet we will have a full menu before we leave, -Mango is in! He will be stopping at Jons place to see "the I have my own grease pit coveralls" in person.
Roger That.

[MangoMike]

Roger,

Seriously. We had the hammer down this summer heading back home from Sante Fe to Alexandria and didn't do any sightseeing on the road, except for a stop in Memphis and stayed at the RV park across the street from Graceland. Now I'm not a big Elvis fan, but if you've never seen Graceland it's worth the stop. It's like a time capsule from the 70's - cars, furniture, clothing, planes (sorry Lew), it's very cool and well done. Now being the world traveler you and Mickie are, I'm sure you've done Graceland, but I would be remiss if I didn't add it to the list.

Mike

If anybody wants the Prevost thrill ride, they are welcome to use my driveway.

It had Mango squeeling like a little girl.

I saw Truk4U's old driveway Saturday and I think he can add his to the thrill ride category also.

I'm attempting to find a Blue Ox hitch for the front of my bus so Roger can tow us to Santa Fe. Any ideas on where to get one? I won't use a Remco pump, but will plan on pulling an axle.

I dunno, they say there are Elvis sightings at Graceland, but maybe memories are better than reality?

[Jon Wehrenberg]

Take away the outfit and you have Winchester.

[dalej]

Are most of you guys going to be on I-40 coming across? You should have the single "Wide Open Spaces" by the Dixie Chicks. It will be a perfect fit if you havn't driven west.

Dale

[ken&ellen]

Jon, you are being a little harsh.....although there is a very familar look in his eyes.
Dale, Dixie Chicks? Crank a little Toby. :D

Also, welcome aboard looking forward to meeting your family some time in the future. Ken & Ellen

[Jerry Winchester]

Oh man Jon that is way harsh. Just because I jammed Tom for flying in the pressurezed fart extractor, I get the hammer.

And I thought that guy lived in the front compartment of Lew's coach....

[rfoster]

Hey Jon-
you are welcome to hook on - I do run a litte faster than 62 (not much) especially after I get those LEDs like JW. I believe this bling thing is going to turn into another AWARD.(two awards now ANAL AND BLING) - wow a grill and toliet brush - what combos.
Maybe some diamond lugnuts would look good on the Mango MotherShip or that Royale coach in Cypress Texas. THAT OUGHT TO PUT'M OVER THE TOP

Mango needs to add another category - cooking and then I will be in on the eating.
About it JW are you in?
Roger that

[Jon Wehrenberg]

Roger that,

If I'm hooked on and drafting run as fast as you want. As long as it is your tank next to the pump at the flying J.

The only problem I have is I know if you ain't the lead dog the scenery never changes.

Keep giving Batman and Robin ideas for bling. They need it. Next to our Libertys they have a definite bling deficit.

[Jerry Winchester]

I think whomever has the cajones to put the naked lady mud flaps on their coach should win the award.

I think they are an option on the Classic, but aren't they standard issue for the Elegant Lady?

Yep Roger, I am in. For whatever it takes. If you're gonna be a bear, be a grizzly.

And for Jon, if it's worth doing, it's worth overdoing.

[rfoster]

Ok Ladies and Gentlemen: Time is getting short. Santa Fe is coming up quick. I need those "you gotta see and do stops" along the way recommendations.

"A1" Jon and I are planning to team up on the way out. I will have to follow him becase my lights will blind him if he follows me and yes there is that 62 mph thing too!

I got Mango's Graceland recommendation, and JDUB's Cadillac Ranch (I'd like one of those in the back yard-all my cars are on blocks). And then there is JPJ's Roswell excursion, whew, far out! Any others? Grand Canyon? :cool:

[Jon Wehrenberg]

Isn't looking at the back of my bus going to be good enough?

As far as things to do, I plan on stopping every 50 miles to dust the coach and put more tire dressing on the treads.

[Jerry Winchester]

When Mike and I scream by you guys at 69.9 mph, we will make sure to hit the chaff ejector for a little bling avoidance.

Maybe we should meet at the Big Texan Steakhouse in Amarillo and watch Roger eat the 72 oz.'er?
