I have no doubt that would be no problem at all! What would you like available? IPA, STOUT, PORTER, BLONDE LAGER?!
We figured that folks in the Albuquerque, Tucson, Phoenix, Flagstaff, SoCal and maybe even Denver and Colorado Springs that are debating about making the trek would be concerned on how much time they would need to travel and where would they stay. I for one when making such journeys enjoy having company for a road trip and this in our eyes would be a great way to form new comraderies and help make the travel much more fun if a good chunk gather together at a halfway point.
As mentioned before, the folks from Albuquerque would need a 13 hour drive to tackle if they decided to do a whole day trip on let's say the Thursday before the Fest. 13 hours is a long drive, but if they decided to leave right after the general end of work time at either 5 or 6pm, and just stay the night in Las Cruces, it would reduce the commute to 10/9 hours, less time on the road and one less day to request off if the prior thought was to leave Wednesday in the middle of the day, stay somewhere in Texas and continue on with the trip on Thursday. Same consideration could be applied to those coming from Arizona.
We could leave at around 8am let's say and arrive in Baytown at around 6/7pm, granted that of course we would all need to stop to eat, gas up, and use the wee lad and ladies rooms, but the cool thing would be the caravan out to the fest.
This is all an early outline of what could be done, but as more and more people wish to partake in this, I'm sure that a few of us here in the Las Cruces/El Paso area would love to host the Camaro5 Community for our annual pilgrimage and look into seeing what we can do to accommodate in food and beverages to make your ordinary road trip just that much more enjoyable. Because the difference between ordinary and extraordinary, is just that little extra.
...sorry, I just had to put that quote in from the movie "...Waiting".
