So my parents are super worried about me driving across the USA by myself, so I'm planning to drag the CPT along with me. Also, to keep me on top of things, I can take frequent breaks by visiting GH'ers! I will plan to see as many as possible, even for a short meeting.
I don't hate anyone.
Ok, well, anyone minus maybe 2. But you aren't part of the two, tfr.
I think if you're stopping in Odessa for the night you should probably plan on at least one more overnight stop in TX, depending on which interstate you want to take to leave Odessa.
Get to see moose and tfr taking I-10 and me and some less loud members (I think there's 1 in Ft Worth and another in Dallas) taking I-20. Or we meet somewhat in the middle in Austin.
One of my planned routes goes through odessa, so this is a very real possability.
If your course sends you my way, then I humbly suggest...
NASHVEGAS!
Three reasons to stop here:
1. Visit MechanicalKeyboards.com on the way into town
2. Crash at my place
3. I'll cook you dinner
What Up Shoney? (ツ)_/¯
I was almost positive all the planned routes go near nashville, but I'm sure of it now!

Now for a very important question: I'm sure I can bring a keyboard or two on the plane with me. Which one(s) should I bring? General Dynamics Alphameric? IBM 4704 metal cased F? A generic cherry?
I'll also be relying on you guys for advice about road travel, etc.
Edit: ok a few things.
1. I have exactly 4 days to do all of this, and that does involve getting up early to take a flight to LA that lands before noon. I fully expect to be able to spend 1/2 a day in LA before starting, leaving 3 days to drive 35 hours or so. Is this feasible? I hope so, 'cause that's all the leave I have from work.
2. I live like 5 hours from the CPT, visiting Indiana is like a weekend trip for me. I can probably stop by NY when I visit my family for Christmas, so I can see you guys then.
3. Here is a possible trip I can take across the country.
