Andrew here.
As some of you know, I'm making a move from Houston to Calgary - which entails a road trip as I drive my car and a few tennis rackets 2000+ miles up the spine of the USA. As far as I can tell, not a blue state in sight.
Inspired by Asad's road trip odyssey this summer, I asked Pete (who graciously assented) if I could put out a general alert to the Tribe: if you are, or are aware of, someone I can play tennis with along the way - well, I'd like to hear from you.
I'll be traveling between Houston and Calgary, detailed route to be determined, between November 10th and November 15th. My timing is flexible - I will adjust my route for points of interest and the chance to meet fellow tennis players and supporters. I play at a USTA 4.0-4.5 standard (a bit out of practice in the last 6 weeks, but we're not talking Shanghai participation, you know). I'd welcome any tips on clubs to play at, people to visit with, or just great sights to see. And it goes without saying, I'll let you know how it went.
You can eMail me at fables3@yahoo.com if you have any ideas, or (of course) forward this message on to tennis playing friends in the Plains or Mountain states. Looking forward to an adventure.
