My comment only had meaning yesterday Reason, thanks a lot. Now you leave it here, obliviously to it's lack of context... helpless...hopeless..*sigh*
*oblivious. damn it
Why would they be staying in Las Cruces after going to Arizona? Do you mean Texas?
It doesn't look like a straight shot but it keeps you on the major highways, longer but faster would be my guess
I guess it depends where in Arizona you're going from Santa Fe. I can't get Google to tell me to go through Las Cruces under any circumstances, but going to Tucson you get close in New Mexico terms. It's more plausible than I thought originally.
Safford to Sante Fe
Do you know the way to Santa Fe?
Just be sure to make that left turn at Alberkerkee
That requires eschewing an interstate.
There're prisons in Douglas, Tucson, and Yuma - in both cases its quicker to drive south then west from Alb to get to them.
I'd say they went to Yuma. Las Cruces is about a 8 hour drive from there
What happens when an irresistible force meets and irresistible force? STOP RESISTING.
Ugh. Las Cruces. Spent a few weeks there once, commuting to Holloman every day; there's really not much to do there except maybe get drunk and exercise (and I guess shoot each other).
Repeat.
A Brickbat so nice, they posted it twice.
Everything old is new again
Do-over!

This happened again!? With the same two guys? You'd think they'd learn.
They'll keep doing it until they get it right
Wait, we're still talking about the editors right?
So more of a zombie scenario, than a messiah rising 3 days after dying deal?
I hope he put one in the brain this time.
This story is bullshit. It's just viral marketing for the upcoming gritty reboot of "The Amazing Chan and the Chan Clan".
If there isn't added donkey, I ain't paying to see it
This actually happened decades ago, and was the inspiration for the movie "To Kill and Kill Again"
True story....
