Going To El Paso
Well the wife and I are taking the kids to El Paso on the 28th for a week to visit her family, should be fun only 989 miles from here.....
. Well at least I will see what my towing mpg will be after the ebps and tube get replaced and the new pump gains and also my new dp-tuner oredering that on monday!!!!!! should be loads of fun at least it wont be hotttttt 
. Also gonna switch to synthetic oil and ATF. Should be a good long distance test for the ole girl, since I've had her anyway.

Only another 800 miles to Houston. Stop by and I will have the beer cold.
Have a good trip. Watch for USAF fighters there near Gila Bend, AZ. Everytime I roll through there I see fighters out playing over the desert. Very cool.
Also, watch for the GIANT roadrunner alongside the freeway in Las Cruces, NM. The kids will get a kick out of it.
Lastly, stay out of Jaurez Mexico. It's just over the border from El Paso. Lots of people get tempted to go there but take my advice and don't. It's bad news.

Plan your fuel stop for Road Forks, New Mexico...there is a Truckstop of America (T/A) at the exit (5 miles east of the Arizona line - 170 miles from El Paso). Cheapest fuel on I-10 from Tucson to El Paso.

well got back friday, 2600 miles, 11.5mpg, and loads of fun, I hate to admit it but I liked El Paso. we dont have such big skies like that in cali, we hit Cattlemans out by Fabens and it was great food. The kids got a kick out of the coyotes eating with us! Nm and norhtern AZ are frickin beautiful. Flagstaff was the best. I gotta say who ever doesnt visit the grand canyon your missing out on one of Gods great wonders!!! Albuquerque was a great town. If you cant tell I love desert scapes!
P.S. hey OUTLAW you're right about that big *** flag in Juarez! Overall it was a fun roadtrip and lts of great family memories!!!!!!!!!!

Well it appears the allure is too much these days. Everyone here knows what I am talking about. Frankly, I am getting tired of it. I am ready to call my Congressional reps. I've had enough. Sorry for the rant.
