In this case, 940 miles or so one way, you're talking about 4 full days on the road. I do love the Southwest, but will tell you that that sort of driving (especially as Summer takes hold) is not every driver's cup of tea.
I was statoned in Maine and traveled from Brunswick Maine to Joplin,Mo straight threw. 23 hours

I dont think I would like to do that again, but I have done it. I have decided to drive bit extend the length of the trip just because I want to do some sight seeing. I have been all over that area cause I was stationed in NM. so I fully expect what to see at T&C and carlsbad.

Thanks again everyone.
