I know it's early, but I'd like to offer this up for anyone driving to NSXPO '05 from the east. I figured that we would be a lot more likely to get good participation in this if it's on the calendar early.
On Thursday afternoon, 6 October, the Albuquerque contingent will embark on the trip to NSXPO 2005 in Phoenix. If you're headed this way, it might be worth your while to try and get together with us for the journey. Tenatively, the highlights will be:
11:00 a.m.: Lunch at the legendary El Pinto restuarant, where you'll eat real NEW Mexican food so you'll have something to compare to that Sonoran, frou-frou, cilantro-laced stuff they serve west of here. The green chile will be fresh and the food will be filling.
12:30 p.m.: A trip/tour onto the flight line to see one of the inspirations behind the NSX....the F-16 Falcon. I'm also working with my Public Affairs office to get all of the NSX's onto the flight line for some photo shoots next to a jet or two.
2:00 p.m.: The caravan will then depart and head south on I-25, to head west on U.S. Hwy 60 through the gorgeous mountains and canyons dividing New Mexico from Arizona. Lots of twisties and tons of scenery, and a gorgeous southwest sunset as the lights of Phoenix appear on the horizon add up to one awesome way to top off a road trip. Even if you're not planning on joining the group on Thursday, I highly recommend this drive if it's not too far out of your way.
