Going for a "Drive".
On a whim, weather is great across the southern US, might as well drive it.
Gonna pack the 996, head out from FL to OK, then towards NM and AZ and back. Figure about 5000 miles for this route in the next week or so.
See yall out there!

Trying to post a pic but have been getting a parse error....👎 from the mobile app.
No error with the drive, feels so good to be out with the windows down, radio up and no time table to meet!

Florida, Alabama and Mississippi went perfect. Finished Baton Rouge day 1.
Louisiana got careless and will be making a donation to local sheriff for going a little faster than posted.
Tagged Arkansas and Texas near Texarkana at the end of day two. Rain has set in so the Talihina portion will be delayed.
NM is in a blizzard so hotel time and a good meal is in order tonight in Muskogee.

Line of nastiness working from Austin, all the way to Chi-town. It's moving quick so should be past you soon.
Blizzard warnings in Amarillo(it's a big state). Stay low, avoid the radar. I'll buy lunch if you go through I 20 west of DFW. Lemme know.

Anything Dallas northward is gonna suck today--rain replaced by snow and ice. However I-10 through Houston/San Antonio/El Paso (DT's apparent FAVORITE road in TX 
) should by dry and clear.
Truth be told, I-10 between Junction and Fort Stockton TX is rather dreary--200 +/- miles of road with near-total absence of character and scenery. Other than that it's not as bad as many make it out to be especially if you like light traffic and wide open spaces. I drive I-10 between Houston and Fort Stockton at least annually when I go visit Big Bend National Park, typically in late winter, so know it well.
Be safe out there!

Decided to camp out with some family for a few days and enjoy. Family took me out in the weather yesterday in their trucks around Oklahoma.
Lol am high and dry but cannot leave due to water over the roads unless MR. GADGET shows up and installs pontoons! Isn't there an option code for that?
P-Car is mad, has slept outside for two nights and am thinking this is the first cold weather it has seen. Have the battery tender going and actually am letting it idle to bring temps up on motor this morning.
Watching weather and will travel once things settle a bit. Thinking the I-40/Route 66 may be less desirable and may go south and do I-20/30 to I-10.
Am not going to be deterred on my goal. Will make Arizona next week even if there is a new set of tires purchased!
Thanks for everyone keeping an eye out!
Cheers!
Mike
