Kinda plan on doing that along our way. I'd liketa put a face'n a hand shake to a log in name;). Got a Lap Top & Printer set up in the 5r, guna log in now'n then, learn how to post pics'n post a few..

Wife's last day at work is tomorrow. We've made Many, Many.. Coast to Coast trips and traveled this Great country a lot, through the years. But the trips always had an End Date. We've saved'n planned for this for a long, long time.. By God, We're Guna Do It. NO END DATE.;tu ;tu

big joe-

make sure you figure out how to do free wireless at rest stops. practice at a panera bread type place or the library.

don;t forget your spare CPS, or the ford special tool

keep the rubber side down and the sunny side up!

250 miles a day.. or 2-3 o'clock in the PM.. is the plan. (but all a "Plan" is...... Is something to deviate from :sly;):))

Hey Big Joe;

Sounds like your plan is what we were doing. 250 miles per day or around 3 p.m.

I hope the weather is good to you, and you do not have any family problems.
Have a great time and take lots of pictures.

I have the same plan. My family and I are laoding some ATV's in our horse trailer and heading across the country. We do not care how long it takes. That will by my treat when I get home. Be sure to share any lessons learned druing your trip.
