The RED Ball Express, 2012. "From Cactus to the Cape"

[Caveman Tony]

Trying to coerce Brian into a discount for lotsa swag I can spread across the country as I cruise east.

Whataya say, Bruab?

[Brian Lohnes]

I'll give ya enough stickers to cover the grand canyon.

[Caveman Tony]

Hey Brian, if I were to order T-shirts or a few hats today, what's the delivery time?

[Brian Lohnes]

Call me.

[Monk]

.....ya...just glad I dont have to go all the way to WV....Memphis is my limit.....Hey Pee Wee ......I wont be far from you.....and if the timing is right I MIGHT have a special guest we all know and sometimes love.

You coming down I 55 South?

[sedandelivery55]

Sounds like a good time to hit Route 66. Most of it follows or is part of I-40. If you go that route and come through OKC, I'm down for a brew and bs session. Not much to see in the OKC area except the bombing memorial but there are a bunch of good bar and grills.

[Remy-Z]

Well, crap, sounds like I'm gonna miss ya (won't be back from Haley's until the 26th) but if you get a chance, swing through Jerome, AZ and try out Haunted Hamburger or 15 Quince...

Tony if your going to take I40 let me know if your going to go through Phoenix to get there, I can show you a route that will pull about an hour off your time........ Also wouldn't mind buying you lunch before you get back on the road......

77?

[Caveman Tony]

Ok, it's official....

I have a crapload of BangShift stickers and a plane ticket!

Touchdown on Sat the 25th in the afternoon in Two-son...

Joe, Squirrel, anything good goin on Sat Night in Tucson?

[TC]

77?

That is one way from Tucson that you can go, but the 77/60 is a twisty hilly SOB, and once you hit the Salt River Canyon, it's nothing but 25mph switchbacks down one side and up the other side of the Canyon and god forbid some asshole in a Semi is in front of you......... Mapquest says it's 287 miles from Tucson to Holbrook(I40) going through Phoenix, which they estimate will be 5 hours and 15 min, or he can go the 77 route out of Tucson and bypass Phoenix which is less miles at 237 miles but it takes 5hr 21 min to get to Holbrook(I40) and it's all two lane highway, whereas if he goes up through Phoenix 80% of it will be 4 lane divided highway........ Plus if Tony feels like it I'd be happy to buy him lunch on his way through Phoenix...... Time wise is about the same, but if something goes wrong I got Tools in Phoenix, where on the 77 your pretty much out in the middle of nowhere.......
