Thanks to those who responded...don't need to buy an asbestos suit...yet...
No matter how I phrased my post, I knew someone might take it the wrong way. Gee, I should have asked about drug use, too. Let's not go there since I know (or feel) that most TTers here are downright sensible, artistic, free spirits.
As for the TT gathering for those west of the Mississippi, anything sounds good to me. Traveling half the distance of FW is, of course, appealing.
I agree that what will make it more challenging is the fact that California is transportation congested and, outside of there, other interesting venues may be far and few between. On that list (among others) that may appeal:
Arizona: Colorado Trail scenic byway, Joshua Forest scenic road;
Colorado: San Juan Skyway, Top of the Rockies scenic roadway.
Hey, I am open for it all!
