Go to the original across from the university. They close at 10pm now. When I was in college it was 2am. If you hate it, I will repay you. My mother in law graduated from the CIA ( not that CIA) in NY. She had to begrudgingly admit it's the real deal calzone too. My wife didn't believe me either until we went. If you can drive to caprock canyon on the way to Austin you might see the TX state buffalo herd too.
Yeehaw!

Love a good calzone.
What's "the CIA" in NY?
In reply to OHSCrifle :
The Culinary Institute of America, alma mater of such talents as Anthony Bourdain, Roy Choi, and also one of my aunts

Tom SuddardRather than constantly deliver three different types of oil to all of these little stations in the middle of nowhere, it does seem easier to just pipe in one kind of electricity.
pretty sure they only bring 2 kinds and mid grade is a blend of the 2. They all come on one truck too, you can't put all that fluid in one giant tank, it would be unstable. There are sometimes 6-8 compartments in the larger tanker trucks. Also gas, diesel, av gas and other flammable fluids are transported in the same pipeline as "slugs" of fluid. As these slugs pass fuel depots they pull off fluid from the slug with the proper specific gravity to fill the individual tanks.
I'm also a huge fan of electric, they have a hugely complex and equally fascinating distribution system.
Sorry for feeling out, cool trip, carry on.

Welcome to driving 14 hours until you hit the next state.
Made it to Lubbock! The car continues to him along at 75 mph with no issues. Tomorrow's destination? Austin! We'll be visiting Andy and Ann Hollis for a few days.

Fire extinguisher...I thought about one for my Cayman but realistically can you get the engine cover up in time to be effective? I might due to my after market one with two thumbscrews but stock?
I did see your bit about the trans but mine almost burned from a fuel leak over the headers.
I have considered one of the tube kind that go off with fire heat and wrap it around the engine lid.. Thusly:

Got bugs?
When I bought mine my wife and I left San Diego and the first stop was to see my uncle in Moab. The Cayman was an epic bug slayer even by then. By the time we got to Pittsburgh to see my parents you could not tell the front plate was from California. Our trip was also in June.
There's a bug I've only...met...in Utah. I don't know what it looks like, but it's fairly large and has yellow guts. We call them Mormon bugs because of their state affiliation.
I think I just hit a couple of those between BC and Montana. You can see them coming, they are big.

You have to make reservations to drive in the park? Is it that crowded?
Havent been yet, so no idea.
"In 2021, Glacier instituted a ticketed entry system to enter the park from West Glacier or St. Mary. Visitors must have reservations and tickets to use those entrances between 6 a.m. and 5 p.m. daily from Memorial Day weekend through Labor Day."
Was going through photos and realized we didn't post this one entering Roswell:
I lived in Roswell for 20 years before retiring to Colorado - glad you escaped intact.

We need your full assessment of the stars at night.
In reply to Woody (Forum Supportum) :
I hear they are big and bright.

In reply to TJL (Forum Supporter) :
Just wanted to confirm.
Trust, but verify.
In reply to Woody (Forum Supportum) :
If you go to Fort Davis, there is a nice observatory there. The star parties are fun. Once you leave that part of TX and start heading east light pollution and weather become real impediments to star gazing.

Oops, sorry--missed this earlier. It's a Quadlock. Their stuff seems overpriced at first, but after using it I'm hooked and I have one for every bike/motorcycle/car.
I don't think we talked enough about the heat yesterday. "It's a dry heat" blah blah blah. Yeah, 110 degrees with 30 mph winds was like standing in a convection oven. We saw a few stories about hikers dying on the news, and can 100% believe it after spending 10 minutes outside in Roswell.
In reply to Datsun310Guy :
that movie has some great moments!
Back on the road, and our entire path has excessive heat warnings in effect today. Woo!
