Hey y'all,

I am considering taking a quick trip to New Mexico, from Midland for a weekend visit in New Mexico. I noticed that I will be driving through El Paso, and after seeing it so many times on Live Pd, I am just a little cautious about driving my blonde ass through there lol. Is there a check point, like in the valley? Is gas cheaper going towards New Mexico, or should I fill up as much as possible in Midland? Should I stop for snacks, or is that not safe? I hate to sound ignorant. I've just never driven that way by myself lol

Thanks for listening,

You guys are sweethearts.

Love,

Kelly

Kelly, gas is definitely cheaper in El Paso.Speed limit is 80 mph about 25 miles west of Odessa. You can drove it in 4 hours. Be safe.

El Paso dangerous. Not any more dangerous then Midland or Odessa. The food is wonderful, especially if you go local. Stay awhile.. I am sure a few of us would be interested in meeting you. Drive safe.

When you make life decisions based on reality TV, rather than facts... even with a wealth of factual information at your fingertips.

Use Hotels.com or Yahoo travel to see the available of rooms because of different events can booked up. Also research shopping and food places that are close, so you don't have to take a lot time.

Tex9401 · 12-01-2018, 08:22 PM

Get Gas buddy app....to see what fuel prices, and also check the weather to see what you need to pack clothes wise.

Fsct: El Paso is the safest large city in the United States. By quite a bit.

utrlbk1976 · 12-02-2018, 10:50 AM

Fact: It looks like El Paso is the 7th safest big city in America. Still not bad. Just stay on the right side of the border because Juarez is the 7th most dangerous city in Mexico.

I was headed to the Southern part? I just don't put my exact travel plans on here?

Thanks dear, but I'm good lol. My GPS and old school road map helped me just fine.

This city is AMAZING! The food, and the view? It's gorgeous. I wish more people
would come check it out. It's worth seeing for sure!

Thank you for the tips fellas

Those gas prices are awesome right? OMG yes!
