I drove it in a few days (with my brother) several years ago...It must have been 3 days, because we slept in Albuquerque and Vegas, I think. I love roadtrips.

Pyjamarama is a great choice, Steve!
"Couldn't sleep a wink last night/
Oh how I'd love to hold you tight/
They say you have a secret life/
Made sacrifice your key to paradise"
I love driving around to that song, too!
However: What is with this "All songs very old" stuff? I can remember a lot of these songs like it was yesterday. Does this make me very old, too? Yikes! :-)
PS -- I have done Oklahoma City to San Francisco (well, Sebastopol, Calif. -- close enough). I thought west Texas (from say, Odessa to El Paso) was cool because the mountains look strange and the radio stations from Mexico are unique.

can't beat television and roxy music!

Well Erik, I was thinking that the most recent song prior to the Soul Asylum is the Police or Billy Idol, both around 1983? I was thinking that 20 years is old. But noting your extremely worthwhile exploration of older jazz, older Sinatra, and others maybe 1983 would be considered recent. And yes, like me, you probably ARE old!:) Yeah, my thought is that from Dallas head through Amarillo into Colorado, to Boulder, and through the Rockies, staying north of New Mexico and Arizona. Definitely try to see Utah again!).Given the time I'd like to take, I could do whatever circuitous route it took to allow for interesting finds along the way.

And liquidmoon, thats quite a 3 day drive. I did a southerly route once from LA to El Paso and back. Old VW fastback broke down in Pheonix in 113 degree weather, and also forced a stopover in Needles CA for 3 days(ugghh!) to wait for a car part. Given that, that's why my thoughts for next trip are to stay north.

....from Boulder, if it was me, I'd head south to the 'four corners" area...into Utah's best National Parks: Bryce & Zion, then south through Lake Powell, Arizona, down to 40 and on to Nevada....
