Trans-Texas Expeditions

I had lunch the other day with Scott Thompson (of whom Thompson Mountain is named after). The topic of which routes we should take there and back came up. Below is what I suggested based on my past experiences and some research. Take a look and let me know what you think.

• Austin
• Fredericksburg
• Fort Stockton
• Sierra Madera Meteor Crater
• Marfa
• McDonald Observatory
• Van Horn
• Blue Origin site
• Virgin Galactic site
• Truth or Consequences
• Trinity Site
• White Sands Missile Range
• Socorro
• VLA
• Datil
• Thompson Mountain
• Roswell
• Carlsbad Caverns
• Guadalupe Mountains
• Odessa Meteor Crater
• Commerative Air Force

So what do you think? I'm pretty sure that I'm being overly ambitious by putting all of that on the route, but there really is a lot to do on the way there. I want to make sure I am capturing it all, so if you can think of more places to visit along the way let me know. If I had to guess, I would say that realistically we can only do about half of the places on the current list.

Although, truth be told, I would really like to be like this guy and make the same trip he did with more advanced equipment. Now that would be pretty damn geeky.
