Yup, weekend, two drivers in tandem, stop at 6hr/400miles, for fuel
and bathroom, should be doable in 24hr very easily at the speed
limit. Have bit of a time constraint, volunteered myself for stuff in
Houston for the wkend, and have to be at work on 2nd at 8am, so both
ways I have to make sure any stop is really going to be worth it (and
maybe make up lost time on the road? SW desert = boring?)
