May I humbly suggest that you take, as the great world-traveler Bugs Bunny has often regretted missing, a left turn at Albuquerque and take I-25 North into Colorado. We have some beautiful countryside here, and for those pesky teenagers you'll get a couple larger cities (Santa Fe, then progressively larger cities the further north you go into Colo) as opposed to the Texas-Oklahoma Panhandle which is a pretty depressed area. You could veer East at Trinidad or Colorado Springs, though It may be worth the extra few miles to go all the way to the Mile High (try our green chili and craft beer! And... other stuff... if your family is really cool...) then take 70 into Kansas. Lots of empty highway then but there's no way to enter the K-hole without that. A pretty major deviation from your route, but I'd bet good money your family will enjoy the Centennial State a lot more than they would panhandle country. Unless this is like a history tour and you're gonna play Ken Burns' "Dust Bowl" the whole time. Teach 'em something. Oh and just in case it comes up don't bring anything you buy here to any other states. Enjoy locally and come back soon!

According the NCAR forecast Monday-Tuesday should be clear in the south, the only precipitation expected in the state is in the NW (pretty typical). Although spring is traditionally our wettest season, this year so far has been painfully dry, so I wouldn't be too worried about it. You should definitely check again if you come through on your way back though, weather here changes fast. It also bares mentioning you would not be spending any time anywhere near the mountains and that's where snow really matters. I-25 is usually pretty reliable and well maintained (it is, after all, the longest and largest North-South Interstate in the nation). Edit: Full disclosure, I bike so my attitude towards highway conditions may be different than yours. BoldFrankensteinMir fucked around with this message at 00:40 on Apr 9, 2017 |
