Well, I am definitely up for the convoy deal on our way out, our plan is to
leave here early morning and just run I-70 west straight shot no tolls etc...
The unfortunate thing is my fuel window is probably pretty small compared to
the rest of you. not exactly sure why my it is, I tend to attribute it to the
3.55 gears and 30x9.5 tires and only a v6...
If we want to start planning a midwest meet point for the convoy, we should
begin now. I too am looking right at a 15 hour drive plus the addition of fuel
and food stops... of course the wives would also lag us down...
