good solid advice budge. will carefully consider my next move.

By the way, what route did you take cross country? fast straight route or scenic route?

 

Careful...very carefully...
My last adventure across the US started in Los Angeles route 15 North to Needles
then you see a sign that says 2750 miles East Kitty Hawk NC home of the wright bros
Route 40 East ,follows 66 through Flagstaff Arizona,Albequerque New Mex,Oklahoma
City Okla.,Little Rock Ark,Memphis Tenn,then North on 81(or 83) through Bristol Tenn
through west virginia and onto 66 east again into DC ! Helluva trip!!!
(one mission 36 hrs total driving...need to look up that guy Roy and contest his record!!!!)
