I'm going to be driving to Albuquerque, NM on March 25. I take I-44 to Oklahoma City, and then get on I-40 until Albuquerque. If you need a ride to a destination within 15 miles of my route, we can get there. Some notable cities I go through are: Springfield, Joplin, Tulsa, Oklahoma City, Amarillo, and Albuquerque. I'll also be coming back to Rolla on the same route on April 1 or 2.
So, if you're interested, post here or PM me.
Here's the skinny on the conditions:
1) I leave EARLY (approx 4 AM), so I can drive in the daylight for most of the trip.
2) I'd prefer to not drive further than 15 miles off of the interstate, if you live further than 15 miles from the interstate, you can have somebody meet you at the interstate to finish the rest of the drive.
3) Only cost is splitting gas and tolls (if you're with me through Oklahoma).
4) You must be able to "hold your water" for as long as my gas tank runs (typically 4-5 hours), I don't stop until I need more gas.
5) If you want to watch a DVD with headphones on, that's cool, I have a laptop and inverter. But, if you're not talking to me, I get control of the radio (mmm... talk radio).
6) I feel like I have to say this in Rolla: a shower/bath/hosing within 24 hours of the drive is mandatory.
I have room for 2 or 3 people (other than myself).

I'd love to share a ride with you if we can swing through Jefferson City, Topeka, Des Moines, St. Paul, Bismarck, Pierre, Lincoln, Denver, Salt Lake City, Helena, Olympia, Salem, Sacramento, Phoenix, and Santa Fe first.
C'mon people, 4 AM isn't THAT early, I'm good company, and I don't smell... what more could you ask for?

Yes, I still have space. If you decide to come, I think I'll probably have space for at least 1 more. I'll send you an email.
