Well, the band got access to the football field. It was not pleasant, but we won it. Man, I’m sick of this job already

I have to work the beer stand at the Fresno State game today for fundraising, when I really want to be left alone. Sigh.

I leave for my Texas road trip Tuesday morning. Any Arizona or New Mexico side trip driving road recommendations will be appreciated. I will warn you in advance there will be much Toby and GTI on Oppo this week. Sorry about that.

I.

Did I miss the round-up of how the commercial shoot went? Last I heard , a C ool G uy was driving up to a gas pump over and over.

Why don’t you swing down to Socal and navigate the LA basin during rush hour?

XD

What's your route through AZ and NM?  I-40 or I-10?

It’s a bit far off the path, but I’d recommend hopping off the 40 at the 17 and taking it down to the 260. Take the 260 over to Pine and ride the 87 back up to Winslow. The 260 is a beautiful highway that rides the edge of the Mogollon Rim and Pine is a cool little town. Zane Grey lived in Pine and wrote most of his stories there. There’s a good dog friendly restaurant called THAT Brewery in Pine. Big outdoor patio and it’s right off the 87.

You’ll be driving past one of my favorite northern wilderness areas on that route.

Winslow is a pretty cool historic town. Lotta car culture there on account of it being on Route 66. Never stayed there, but the La Posada Hotel is a very cool restored place. Don’t forget to blast the Eagles as you cruise through.

Sedona to Flagstaff or vice versa is amazing

I am okay with Toby and GTI content.

If Tucson is a possible stop, i can recommend Hotel McCoy as a possible stop. it’s a renovated motel, dog friendly, with local beer available, coffee available 24 hours, and an oatmeal bar for breakfast. prices were fairly reasonable, and they’re dog friendly. also probably the best beds of any of the stops on our Austin trip (last month...they’re memory foam), and good sized roku tvs in all the rooms. .

(scratch...just saw the route is I-40 centric. we did the 10 most of the way...)
