Well, my old junker boat is for sale, so if you run into it... you might do it some good... or maybe insurance will at least haul it off for me...

I'd wave to you on your way past Joplin but I'm heading back up to IL tomorrow morning. You can wave to me when I go around St. Louis.

Well, we got to the first In-N-Out on the trip (Kingman, AZ) at about 6 am. After that, we decided that it'd be best not to eat a ton of food and be tired... But I did just get done eating In N Out .

And yes, showed up as a big surprise as intended.

Guess I should add that I averaged about 17MPG the entire trip. Lowest MPG was 16.24, best was 18.1

That "World's Biggest McD's" is rather unique, as a bridge spanning the entire highway, and do you get a pic of it? No. You take a pic of your truck in a parking lot that could have been anywhere . . .



So how's the OC ?
