Jim has headed back to Durango, we are on our way to the Redwoods and then a speed run home. I still have no A/C, but so far it hasn't been to bad with the windows down

Home safe and sound! Would you hit the road in that "fashion" again?

Don‘t think so quite like that, Lainey. I enjoyed the trip, though, saw a lot of places I had never been to. Have some good photos and great memories.It was a great drive, and my little tear drop trailer was the way to go. Coop did a great job organizing the itinerary. We also met up for lunch in Whitehorse with a couple my favorite S2k friends - Roy and Carol Milan <canberra>.

I just saw that! Bummer. Reading of the adventures of those here who have driven across country or long distances have had me in discussion mode with Rick. Should we attempt a LONG road trip when I retire? We'd not be in an RV or a camper of any kind. I'm guessing we'd be racking up mileage on the P car and points for staying in Hampton Inns or the like. What sights are MUST see? How long would we need to be gone? (house/cat sitter would be required) I expect to still have a routine of sorts upon retirement, would I do well on the road for what I would guess would be 3+ weeks?

I guess I will need to start a thread so those who have made this type of trek can give me their thoughts.

Roy and Carol were missed at SF. I hope they are enjoying their adventure.
