Wow. I finally took some time to look at just how I was going to drive from Houston to Las Vegas. Holy Shit! Fifteen hundred miles! Cool.
The trip doesn’t seem that crazy north from Houston then west through New Mexico and then Arizona. Here is a little math since someone so brillantly pointed out gas is expensive.
20 mi/g * 13 = 260 mi
1500 / 260 = 5.something
3.00g * 13 = ~40.00 tank
40.00 * 6 = 240$
each way…we shall see what it really costs as I travel.
I hope to be able to stop at the Grand Canyon either on the way there or the way back. It doesn’t seem that far out of the way but will add atleast 8 hours to our trip.
The goal is to get from Houston to Las Vegas and back again not to get lost doing things that I could spend a whole vacation doing!
