20-hour drive from Tucson. It looks like it should be a family trip. It goes past White Sands, through Roswell, then onto Amarillo, Oklahoma City, and Tulsa (my mother-in-law has fond memories of all three), then the Cherokee Nation (MIL is on the rolls), and then we’re in Branson. Could be fun.
I plan to be there in any case.
That’s going to be for you like the trip to S.D. was for me.
While enjoyable, I’m looking forward to a shorter drive, not as many tempting places to stop, and a nice 7-day or more stay in one place.
I’m not looking forward to the overnight stays in Effingham.
