speaking of car wars thoughts.
Wensday at some odd hour of the morning or night I was going though the area where the Convoy run took place and it was funny that I thought about that book when I seen the name of the towns that I drove though at night no less.
I was also in Macon today so I can say I was at the home of the Macon duel arena also. I am coming home from a race in gainsville, Fl right now and stopping to drive the Tail of the dragon tommorow. |

Be careful driving the Tail. I've seen some scary videos.
In a couple of the videos it looked like the riders just vanished into thin air. |

Re: speaking of car wars thoughts.
I actually had the same thoughts when I was driving from Indy down to Nashville last August - I was at a couple of points recalling portions of the Convoy adventure. Even debated about taking a couple of pictures. :)

Re: speaking of car wars thoughts.
I stayed the night in Bowling Green on my way from Dallas, TX to Portland, Maine last month. I've driven that section of highways maybe 6 or 8 times now (2011 to present) and i ALWAYS think of Convoy. Seeing the terrain, like ditches, rocks, trees and bridges helps to think up good stuff for players to run into (literally!) when I'm GM-ing that module.
It always takes me less than 13 hours from Lexington to Memphis... but then again no-one is shooting at me! Luckily I haven't failed any of my Control Rolls going 80+mph through there.

Re: speaking of car wars thoughts.
I never did the Convoy run.
I guess I need to find a copy since I live here in Bowling Green. Then I could shoot some pics and post them. What route do they take through BG? |

Re: speaking of car wars thoughts.
All the locations are just waypoints, the module doesn't go into detail about the routes through settlements.

Re: speaking of car wars thoughts.
What ever the main drag from indy to Nashville is the one I took including driving past the corvette place. The dragon was very cool and kinda of scary for sure. Why anyone would want to drive a big rv or tow a trailer though it is beyond me. I have some photos posted on a Facebook page at Otaku photography if you want to see them.
