Damn, I drug my feet too long. Long hauler status is sold out now. I still want to do the whole thing though. Just booked rooms for every location. I plan to take the Chevelle station wagon. Looking forward to power tour, I've wanted to do it for 20+ years.

I have been dragging my feet about booking rooms because I want to use points I get from the tailgate tour to offset the costs some :D

That may be a bad plan but I can hopefully find one between one location and the next even if I can't find one near the venue.

Lol, I booked all mine with Wyndham points. I have enough saved up that I could live in a hotel for well over a month.

I got all mine so I could be near the venue at the end of the day, then leave the next morning and head to the next venue. I'm assuming that's how most people do it? Or do people go to the venue in the morning, then head out in the afternoon? Maybe I booked my rooms wrong.

I don’t know if there’s a right way to do it either. Lol

Usually, at least on the regular power tour a decade ago, the date listed is the afternoon at that location, and usually the night at that location. Wake up, hit the road, get to the next venue around lunchtime or early afternoon, rinse and repeat.

I got burned my first trip, had to double up to catch up to the tour, basically. The "Event" is more of the arrival into the next town than it is leaving the first one, if that makes sense.
