3600 Miles to GenCon: Claremore OK
Lots of construction in Oklahoma slowed me down last night and I only made it to Claremore which is east of Tulsa.
Got in about 1AM local time and I am up at 4AM to finish the drive. Maps show lots of construction in my path....I expect a frustrating day.

3600 Miles to GenCon: Amarillo TX
Dodged the storm in NM and west TX. ZZ Top was blasting on the stereo when I rolled across the state line. Gonna grab a bite then get on my way to OKC.
3600 Miles to GenCon: Albuquerque
Well 20 miles west of Albuquerque.
No, I am not following Bugs' advice.
Had a nice sub sandwhich my mom packed for me (Daw!!!)
And back on the road...
3600 Miles to GenCon: Flagstaff
Beautiful country. Saw a meteor about 4:30AM. Saw an elk standing in the mist on roadside at about 4500 feet of elevation.
Funniest roadsign: Dry Beaver River
3600 Miles to GenCon: Half way
Mileage-wise, that is. 4AM local time with 1750 miles to go.
Update in Flagstaff....

3600 Miles to GenCon: Vegas
Waiting to deplane.
Will need to haul ass.
Addendum: plane just got here. Bumped into some gamers.......
3600 Miles to GenCon: No Nukes!
I carried on the Nuclear War game. Showed to a manager type on the way in and they said no prob just pop it right back in my messenger bag and pass it right through.
👍
3600 Miles to GenCon: Packing
Farewells said to the wife and kids and I am packing my bags.
As I am going straight to Indy, I need to take my gaming stuff. I wonder if Illuminati and my 40th Anniversary Nuclear War card game will get me in trouble. I think I will carry on the nuclear war game and just flip it open as it goes through the conveyor. On second thought I think I will just leave them....

3600 Miles to GenCon: Night Before
Besides my badge I think I may need a lot of this.
More in the morning.
3600 Miles to GenCon
Well, the family van blew up, just before GenCon.
Good News: Found a new vehicle.
Bad News: It's in Surprise, AZ
Good News: I should be able to get to GenCon, as I have every year since 2003, inclusive. This year, I'll have to wait to get there until late Friday, rather than the traditional Tuesday.
Bad News: I'm going to have to travel over 3600 miles to get there, despite living 72 miles away. That's a 50:1 ratio to what I normally travel.
Tomorrow, I get on a plane, and the Odyssey will begin.
This is ridiculous.
