Now that I've settled into my new home base of Dallas, Texas, I'm starting to sketch out some road trip ideas for sometime in the future (one-three years). Some of the ideas so far...
Trip 1 - Atomic Road TripOne of the highways that runs north of Dallas is US-380. I'm thinking about doing a end-to-end from Greenville, Texas all the way west to San Antonio, New Mexico. Not only does this highway pass through Roswell, NV, but also is really close to the
Trinity Site. This means my trip can only take place in early April or October. Still trying to figure out the half-way point between Dallas and Roswell. The return trip would be on US-70 to Ardmore, then south on I-35 to Dallas, Texas.
Trip 2 - US-75Another trip that I want to try is US-75 end-to-end. The question is.... do I want to just drive the current routing, try the historic routing by including I-45 starting in Galveston, add in TX-87, or really go continuous by starting with TX-124 in Winnie, TX? The possibility also exists that I travel up to Winnipeg via Manitoba Highway 75. The return trip would be on Interstate 29 to Kansas City (another end-to-end), then take I-35 back to Dallas.
Trip 3 - I-30/I-40Another idea would be to complete clinching of I-30 by driving from Dallas to Little Rock, then head east on I-40 to Oklahoma City, then south again on I-35 back home.
Trip 4 - The Louisiana CircleTake I-20 east to Meridian, Mississippi, then I-59 south to New Orleans, then I-10 East to San Antonio, then I-35 back to Dallas.
Gee.... why am I so I-35 happy?
