Bruce Nunnally Posted August 1, 2010 Report Share Posted August 1, 2010 Road trip planned later this week to Indianapolis for a gaming convention: 858 miles for 14 hours 18 mins plus stops. Should make a nice drive in a full Cadillac. <iframe width="640" height="480" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" src="http://maps.google.com/maps?q=plano+texas+to+indianapolis+in&oe=utf-8&client=firefox-a&ie=UTF8&ei=jQBWTOWHII34sAOZq7TaAg&ved=0CAcQ_AU&t=h&saddr=plano+texas&daddr=indianapolis+in&geocode=FcPX9wEd-n08-ikTlcUT2iFMhjErYM2JZAOqYg%3BFTjRXgIdJlXd-ikDanmn_1BriDF86rlA9p2O1g&ll=36.385913,-91.428223&spn=8.487093,14.0625&z=6&output=embed"></iframe><br /><small><a href="http://maps.google.com/maps?q=plano+texas+to+indianapolis+in&oe=utf-8&client=firefox-a&ie=UTF8&ei=jQBWTOWHII34sAOZq7TaAg&ved=0CAcQ_AU&t=h&saddr=plano+texas&daddr=indianapolis+in&geocode=FcPX9wEd-n08-ikTlcUT2iFMhjErYM2JZAOqYg%3BFTjRXgIdJlXd-ikDanmn_1BriDF86rlA9p2O1g&ll=36.385913,-91.428223&spn=8.487093,14.0625&z=6&source=embed" style="color:#0000FF;text-align:left">View Larger Map</a></small> For Gen Con Indy http://www.gencon.com/2010/indy/default.aspx Bruce 2023 Cadillac CT4-V Blackwing Follow me on: Twitter Instagram Youtube Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimD Posted August 2, 2010 Report Share Posted August 2, 2010 Have fun, Bruce. You can knock an hour or more off the KEY-ON time by taking I-30 to I-55 to I-57 to I-70. Gas up in Marion, AR (just north of West Memphis) and you will be good on fuel to Terra Haute, IN. You do not want to buy fuel in south Illinois! Jim Drive your car. Use your cell phone. CHOOSE ONE !

Meanwhile this site: http://www.network-games-collection.com/ has some links to freeware lan games. I have not d/l'd any to try but they appear to be the type of thing you are looking for.

US 75 is not exactly up to Interstate standards in parts of eastern Oklahoma. Two lane travel, traffic lights, law enforcement with no sense of humor.... Jim Drive your car. Use your cell phone.

Bruce Nunnally Posted August 2, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2010 Ok, sounds like "the southern route" then: 896 mi – about 14 hours 39 mins <iframe width="640" height="480" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" src="http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&source=s_d&saddr=plano+texas&daddr=33.209967,-96.634369+to:I-30+E+to:indianapolis+in&hl=en&geocode=FcPX9wEd-n08-ikTlcUT2iFMhjErYM2JZAOqYg%3B%3BFeS-DwIdpIF7-g%3BFTjRXgIdJlXd-ikDanmn_1BriDF86rlA9p2O1g&mra=dme&mrcr=0&mrsp=1&sz=10&via=1,2&sll=33.061622,-96.07132&sspn=0.848228,1.783905&ie=UTF8&t=h&ll=36.809285,-91.604004&spn=8.440818,14.0625&z=6&output=embed"></iframe><br /><small><a href="http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&source=embed&saddr=plano+texas&daddr=33.209967,-96.634369+to:I-30+E+to:indianapolis+in&hl=en&geocode=FcPX9wEd-n08-ikTlcUT2iFMhjErYM2JZAOqYg%3B%3BFeS-DwIdpIF7-g%3BFTjRXgIdJlXd-ikDanmn_1BriDF86rlA9p2O1g&mra=dme&mrcr=0&mrsp=1&sz=10&via=1,2&sll=33.061622,-96.07132&sspn=0.848228,1.783905&ie=UTF8&t=h&ll=36.809285,-91.604004&spn=8.440818,14.0625&z=6" style="color:#0000FF;text-align:left">View Larger Map</a></small> Bruce 2023 Cadillac CT4-V Blackwing Follow me on: Twitter Instagram Youtube Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texas Jim Posted August 2, 2010 Report Share Posted August 2, 2010 maps.google.com suggests that route is 50 miles longer; is there a problem with I44 vs I30? The problem is getting to I-44. US 75 is not exactly up to Interstate standards in parts of eastern Oklahoma. Two lane travel, traffic lights, law enforcement with no sense of humor.... I agree with JimD about US75. I would go a good distance out of the way to avoid US75. I have also contributed to the policeman's fund when using US75. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eldorado97 Posted August 5, 2010 Report Share Posted August 5, 2010 actually the first route selected is US69. US75 starts in McCallister Ok an goes north straight into Tulsa. But US69 is still a very bad choice. Also watch for a lot of road constrution between Little Rock Ark and Memphis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce Nunnally Posted August 5, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2010 We took the 'southern' route through Little Rock. Plenty of construction along the way, but all in all a good drive and we arrived on schedule. Bit of a thunderstorm on the way made it dicey for a bit, but traffic slowed and we came through it in 30 min or so. As always the CTS did great on the road, at just over 26 mpg with 4 adults and luggage in 100F+ heat and A/C running the whole way.
