Dustball Rally 1000

"It's about the drive." The Dustball Rally 1000 starts Aug. 25 in El Paso, TX and ends there a day later. This is a "gimmick" rally where teams solve puzzles and avoid being tricked as they find their way to mystery locations. They earn points along the way. Nobody knows where the Saturday overnight location is. Me (Rick) and my sister (Liz) are Team MINI Dust Mites (#77). We'll be sharing driving and navigating responsibilities. We'll be competing against no more than 50 teams for the $1500 1st prize. This is not a race, but we'll be carefully following directions and navigating the MINI Cooper within 500 miles, we think, of El Paso. We'll be followed and monitored by sponsors, photographers, video and others. Find out more at http://www.DustballRally.com .

    A short distance off the main road is historic Langtry, along the Pecos River. This is where Judge Roy Bean lived and held "court." Bean called himself "The Law West of the Pecos." There were numerous displays of the colorful history, with several answers to buried in the tourist information. This stop was an oasis, compared to the rest of US-90.
    The driver's view for much of the lonely two-lane highways in south Texas. The average temperature was about 95 degrees. The MINI's A/C worked very well, even during times of high humidity.
    US-90 heading toward Alpine, TX. Long, lonely, straight and mostly flat. Don't forget hot and humid too. Not a Dustball Rallyist in sight. Thank goodness for satellite radio, satellite navigation, spotty cell phone coverage and air conditioning.
