I'm in favour of anything that makes the drive more interesting.

work it is, and how easy it is to just sit on the sidelines and throw in =
random ideas. Anyway.... having said that, for the HOUSTON-DALLAS leg, =
the planned route is, in my humble opinion, rather bee-line boring and =
perhaps somewhat non-inclusive. That is, wondered if there would be =
interest in a more meandering route, through San Antonio, Austin, and =
then Texas hill-country? Such changes could significantly increase Texas =
participation. It'd be a lot more scenic and pleasent drive. On the =
other hand, it'd potentially lengthen the HOUSTON-DALLS leg from a 3-4 =
hour jaunt to a 6-8 hour excursion, and I realize chedules cannot be =
wildly expanded in such ways everywhere. Just throwing out the thought. =
If there is interest, I would be happy to help in creating a straw-man =
alternate route proposal.=20
