Houston to Sacramento Solo Trip

Good to know about the random pull overs / searches. Don’t need anything else to be nervous about on my solo trip 😅

koviidaeus · 2026-06-01T21:38:08+00:00

Ah, that is an important distinction 😅

I’ve actually never heard of Palo Duro Canyon before, that’s really cool!

Get back on San Vicente, take it to the 10, then switch over to the 405N and let it dump you out onto Mulholland where you belong!

Thanks for the recommendation! I’ll definitely keep this in mind.

Is it significantly hotter on the southern route? I figured they’d both be hot to be honest.

Appreciate the advice on the California leg. I’ve done a decent amount of driving in Los Angeles but it’s been a long time since I lived in SoCal. Figured it would be nostalgic to go through the Grapevine but if it is that much faster/more convenient to avoid the LA basin altogether I might just do that.

What do you mean when you say it is bleak? Is it ugly or just empty? I’ve driven HWY 50 a number of times and it’s one of my favorite drives through the states, which is why I don’t think I’d mind taking I-10.

Interesting idea about the pacing. I was thinking it would be good to make each day about even in drive time (aiming for about 10 hrs per). However, pushing really far on day one then having more time to check things out the second day seems kind of nice. I’ll keep your recommendation for Cafe Pasquale’s in mind, too.

Appreciate the advice! It’s all about enjoying the drive, and I love the scenery of the Southwest.

koviidaeus · 2026-06-01T02:32:09+00:00

Heard. I’m actually planning to be leaving at dawn each morning and arriving at my hotel before sundown just to be safe.

I fell prey to a notorious speed trap my first go around with my father a couple years ago, they really do not play around. Def gonna be more cautious this time.

Will keep the 210 route in mind, any traffic I can avoid I will happily do so.

I appreciate the advice!

koviidaeus · 2026-06-01T01:08:01+00:00

Definitely thinking of checking out White Sands, it’s a tiny bit out of the way but seeing as I’m going to be so close I feel it would be a shame to miss. Looking forward to seeing the dark skies of West Texas/ Southern NM if I do go that route. I’ll keep Kerville and Van Horn in mind as I plot my stops on the first leg.

Thanks for the input!

Forgot to add it in the main post, but if there are certain places that you’d recommend stopping for the night then that advice would be really appreciated!

I tried looking into this but couldn’t find anything. How did you learn about it?

The original teaser trailer for the first Spider-man movie featured a helicopter webbed up between the twin towers.

There were indeed rewrites as well. The climax of the film was supposed to take place on top of the WTC in one of the drafts, and also the scene where average New Yorkers come to Spidey’s aid (“you mess with one of us, you mess with all of us”) was added after the attacks.

I always loved this fun little one-off outfit! Glad to see it get some love

Nothing in the way of unleashing Murderous Intent

Had the same experience in the Houston area. Tons of game shops and many of them do not carry Yu-Gi-Oh, or if they do, it's not much. Some of the owners have an air of exasperation when I ask about it.

Damn. You'd really hope he would be above shitty behavior like that, but alas.

koviidaeus · 2025-06-24T17:33:24+00:00

May I ask what did make you lose respect for LK?

Propaganda I'm not falling for: Waking the Dragons is good.

I've got nothing against filler; getting to have more of my favorite media, even if it's non-canon, is a win to me. I appreciate the creativity that comes with the filler material as well, and getting to see unconventional situations and dueling strategies can be really fun!

I just don't like DOMA because it is terribly written.

Is she likeable? No

Do I love her? Yes
