  • Insanity 2018 east coast convoy

    So anyone else want to convoy out? Figured I should try to plan on getting into phoenix Wednesday night or early Thursday. So leave here Sunday afternoon or early Monday morning? My usual roadtrip plan is just drive till I'm tired then find a place to stop for the night but we could do planned overnights stops if someone prefers it. Current planned route unless someone has a better idea.

    If you want to stop here in Amherst, VA it only adds about 8miles to the trip, and is about 6 hours into the trip for you. Could stay here Sunday night, then head out early Monday? two 15hr days of driving and we're there Tuesday night, or maybe break it up a bit more and do 3 10hr days arriving Wed afternoon.

    I'm not quite sure on my travel plans, depending on how things work out with getting the car ready and if my wife wants to come along or not, but either way you're welcome to stay here!

      Staying there Sunday and leaving early Monday would probably be best. I'd rather do 10-12 hours days but doesn't make much of a difference to me. I just want to get out of the cold for a bit and play with cars for a couple days.

          We will but I think we'll probably 6+hrs ahead if we do 12-15hr days.

          Hey Nate if we manage to make to somewhere between Albuquerque and Flagstaff on Tuesday we could go play in some canyons on the way into Phoenix.

            I was figuring we would end up around memphis on mon night and Amarillo on tues night, but that's just eyeballing it into 3 pretty even days. I'm definitely up for finding some canyons! Even with the car somewhat loaded down it will be fun.

            Ben mentioned he is spending Tues night in Amarillo, so if we end up near there we may be able to meet up with him for the last day.

              I live in Henderson Tennessee. I’m not too far off i40 and not too far from Memphis. If you need to crash work on a car or anything. Hit me up on Facebook “clif Dodd” were not flying out till Friday so I’ll be around when you pass through

                That sounds good to me Clif! If you have a spot on the floor I could sleep on that would be fine by me. What do you think Shore?

                Also, my wife said I should warn you we don't have TV - so if you want to watch the "big game" Sunday it won't be playing here

                  Fine with me.

                  Our tv isn't hooked up to anything and I didn't know the super bowl is this Sunday. I think I'll live lol.

                            All I've got so far. We got a very late start so we haven't been stopped for long.
