Have fun Mike!  I understand you will be taking I-10. Try to avoid Houston at rush hour. The missus and I are in Waco visiting our daughter. We were stuck in traffic in Houston for an hour and a half on the way here...worst part of the trip.

Thanks! Thanks for the heads up, I'm used to big city traffic and have been through that area many times and will plan on missing rush hour.

Why in the world would anyone take I-10? I-40 is far more scenic, and you don't have to spend near as much time in Texas.

Yeah I-10 is a tad more drab but going to meet a trucker friend on I-10, she runs back and forth from FL and TX and going to meet for a meal, plus I want to stop at Carlsbad caverns and another place in S. NM and them a couple of parks around Tucson on my way to Phoenix. I've been I-40 and like it better but it's out of the way considering I'm starting my journey in Jacksonville, FL.

Ah, okay then. Be sure to stop by Rooster Cogburn's Ostrich Ranch just outside of Tucson. Great omelettes, if you don't mind cooking your own back at camp; big ones, too!

I'll try to remember that I love a good omelet!

Other than Chiricahua National Monument we haven't visited much of southern Arizona, but we'd like to.
You'll never get very far if all you do is follow instructions.

If he was any kind of gentleman, he'd send you a plane ticket to meet him somewhere along the trail, then let you join him for the tour. But then, I hear he doesn't stop for chocolates or directions; maybe it's better this way...

Thanks Chris now I have to get extra food, lodging of some kind (can't just let em run amok) and extra stops for nature calls.
I think it would be easier to hire someone to distract them while I make a mad dash.

Have a great trip Mike. I used to go on roadtrips quite often, but not much in the past 4-5 years.
I know you were asking for suggestions for sights along I10 and someone mentioned Carlsbad Caverns[^] - I second that.
With you and your brother being from Arizona, I probably cannot provide better suggestions for your immediate area, but I just love Arches NP[^] in Utah and the whole area around Moab. The weather is on the cool side right now (I don't know if there is still snow in the area), which might not be a bad time to visit.
Bryce Canyon[^] has some awesome views, but it's at altitude, so there could be quite a bit of snow.
Have fun

I plan on stopping at Carlsbad on the way out.
My brother wanted me to come a month earlier because of the heat but I put it off til now because I want to spend the last week of April up in S. Utah at the parks, I'm hoping the weather will be a little more agreeable by then but I have a down sleeping bag if it doesn't.
Thanks I'm hoping it will be very memorable and I'll have my D7000[^] with me a 4 32GB cards so plan on taking a butt load of photos.
