KOH Road Trip!

BustedKnucklefilms · Jan 31, 2012

We are getting everything ready to head out to California tomorrow. We will be leaving from Jasper, AL (a little north west of Birmingham) Ive heard there are two different routes to take to get to KOH. Which way would you reccomend? What are some places we should stop at along the way to take it all in? The 7.3 drinks fuel when we get over 70mph especially with the Swag Wagon in tow, so I don't have to stay on the interstate. I've never driven east of Memphis so this should be interesting :dblthumb:

Plans- Leave Wednesday Morning & Be there by Friday Night.
Leave Saturday Morning after the Big Race and make it to Little Sahara Dunes in Oklahoma by Sunday Morning to hit the dunes with the Raptor. booyang

Ride all Day Sunday and head back to Alabama.

Should be a good trip. Watch for updates on the shenanigans!

seems like we always get some pretty nast head winds in west texas/new mexico fuel mileage may drop alot if that happens, last April we ran in honest 40mph head winds all day, my V10 tow rig about emptied my wallet !

If I wasn't so busy at the shop I'd tag along and show you some really cool stuff out west. There's a meteor hole in AZ that's cool to see. It's just before Flagstaff off of I40. Only takes about an hour to check out and stretch your legs. Hoover Dam is cool if you want to go out of the way a little. Also cruise the Vegas strip while going that way. I've always had this bad habit of taking off on the road just for fun. I drove to Alaska and back in a week a fews years ago just to see the north. I put 11,000 miles on my new F250 in a week tho. If you need any help along the way let me know. Also let me know when your headed back to Little Sahara if I can break away I may meet you there. I'm ready for another trip there.

You should hook up with Team Robby Bobby and follow them. That will be enough entertainment in itself.

Wish yall the best of luck Matt! I told Jamin last week that i'm looking forward to hearing about this trip. My only advice is to head west of Memphis, not east, to make it out there...

Well we left this morning from Jasper around 9am. We went through Mississippi, Tennessee, Arkansas and are now almost to Oklahoma.
Going to stop by the big Texan on the way through. Our first stop is Flagstaff, AZ should be there by 10pm in the morning. :driving:

I caught that too but figured I'd leave it alone.

Well, there's a time change out that way, but don't think it's quite that radical a change. Unless you're towing with a DeLorean...

Travel safe!!

Plams are to crash at a hotel in flagstaff and make the rest of the trip Friday morning. 1000 miles down 1000 to go!

Funny quote so far - As Jamin takes a sip of his Petro Extreme Coffee- "Damn this is extreme, it tastes like a cigarette butt" LOL.\

We slept at a rest stop for 2 hours this morning then continued on. We made it to New Mexico aka the world largest trailer park and just got to Flagstaff, AZ. It is snowing here. We got a room for the night and are getting cleaned up and heading to a micro brew here in town for some :drinkers:

and good food.

Leaving early in the morning and should be on the lake bed early afternoon. :woot:

We just missed this nasty rain storm. We watched it go around us for hours as we approached flagstaff.
