ok nevermind im out again, gonna do the beach thing AGAIN
alright when do you sailors want to leave. i was thinking early sat morning. it would be nice to get to camp before it got dark setting up stuff at night just sucks. Also i noticed between sonora and fortstockon which is about 197 miles or so there are no exxon gas stations that have diesel. So i am gonna bring some extra fuel in the back of the truck. may not be a bad idea for you gaser peeps.
ryan are you gonna leave from here or home? and if you leave from home can you get some firewood?
you will be driving in the dark no matter what if you plan on making it in one day. It is a 14 hour drive from College Station - 741 miles on Mapquest.
Sunset is 6:06pm, so you would have to leave around 4:06am to GET THERE before dark (much less set up camp).
I personally am driving to San Antonio friday night and staying with my parents before heading out early sat. morning.
fbronco, you can't go 500 miles between stops? at least 400 towing something?
chadnutz doesn't pull much...:p
I was thinking the same thing... in my truck I'm lucky to make it 400 miles without a trailer... :flipoff2:Quote:

35's and 4.10 gears take their toll on mileage.

I can push 550 miles if I drive easy without a trailer, but that drops closer to 300 with a trailer.
The meeting agenda has said 8:00 A.M. Saturday morning, but I want to leave earlier. At least 7:00 A.M. Anyone have a problem with that??
yeah i can go about 400miles on diesel. I have towed stuff with my truck but i am not sure what kinda mileage i am gonna get. i am thinking around 13-14 mpg. i have non turbo power will 4.10 rear end gears. i do have overdrive so that helps. I have a problem with the leave time i think we should leave at 6am at the latest. i would leave at 4am but i dont think other peeps would like too. for 6am or 4am there is not much difference waking up that early its all the same. you are gonna sit in the truck for 14 hours anyway. I am gonna make my girlfriend drive on I-10 while i take a nap. haha
ok how about we have the diesels run together and the gasers run together. i would really like to know how fast you peeps are gonna drive with a trailer.
hey peeps what about the time change how does that affect the time when we get there??
i think that takes 2 hours off making so if we left at 4:06am it would be 4:06pm when we got there. someone check me on that which puts us 2 hours before sunset
btw thanks scott for the sunset time
My mileage barely changed pulling that Toyota Cressida home on an aluminum trailer. I realize that an off road rig and a good trailer weight more, but the distance is only 200 miles! Scott, have you pulled 8k yet? ;)
the time difference between here and NM is only one hour - it changes around El Paso
i have... with my tired burban... bronco is ~6500 + the 20' 12,000 rated trailor... i figure that is atleast 8k
