Hey all. I have a road trip planned in a couple weeks, from Las Vegas to Somewhereinthemiddleof, Kansas. On both the inbound and return trips, I plan to stop in Albuquerque to sleep, since it's roughly halfway between the two places I'm traveling to. On the way there, it'll just be me, but on the way back, I will have a small U-Haul trailer of crap and my mother-in-law in her car. I'm looking for some recommendations. —Worst case, I would sleep in my car at a truck stop or something like that. Where in Albuquerque could I find an establishment friendly to that? —At the other end of the spectrum would be a motel to crash in. I'd rather not, since I'm trying to spend as little money as possible. Anywhere to avoid? —In the middle would be a kind goon who would allow me to at least sleep in my car(s) on their property (driveway, yard, etc.). Any takers? Thanks. Here's a picture of my car for your troubles.

NoWake posted:tl;dr, What I've learned is it's way worth it to splurge on a $50-$80 hotel room when driving these kinds of distances, opposed to trying to run straight through or catch naps in your car. Either you'll have a cold, fitful 'sleep' of about 3 hours and wake up FREEZING and not really that better off afterward, or you'll spend half of the next day absolutely useless and dead to the world. Unless you've got a dying relative on the other end, it's just not worth it and you will pay for it one way or the other. This is amazing advice, and just what I was hoping for when I made this thread: guys who've done this drive and can tell me what it's like. I did something similar to this several years ago, buying a car in Iowa and driving it back to Vegas. Denver was the halfway point for that trip, and when I woke up after, as you say, a 'nap' of about five hours, it was 47 degrees. In Denver. In June. That's part of the reason why I'm taking the southern route, to avoid the Rockies during winter.
