    Yep. Once past Houston, one can roll on the miles pretty good. Just east of San Antonio, I'd probably take that 46 by-pass around the north side. West of San Antonio, the speed limit goes up to around 80-85mph or so with wide open road. The F6 could really pour it on out thru there in a hurry. Hit about 750 miles or so, grab a couple of hours of snooze time, an energy bar, then wheel her around back to the east and do it all backwards to the start point.

    We just grabbed a hotdogs and coffee. Trying to get to NM before sundown. At the time the TX speed limit dropped after sundown. So we just did gas and go the entire trip.
    I choose my own ride and destination and seek not your approval of either.
