I'm not sure that its going to be possible for all of us to make it out
at the same time. Keep in mind, Bill, there are going to be at least
three trucks with trailors. Walt, Jason and Norah, and myself. Trying
to coordinate everyone to meet up and convoy in at the same time would
be nearly impossible. I sure wish we could have one long convoy - that
would be really cool... but I'm not sure it will happen. I'm looking at
at least 1100 miles from my house, down to Chicago and then to denver.
800 miles in one day has been about all I have been able to pull off in
the past. (straight shots to and from Jons) Keep in mind, if I'm towing
Christine... I'm not going to be able to keep my speed up too high.
Unlike Walt - 90mph with a 5000 lb cannonball behind me, doesn't sound
like fun hehe.
We still have lots of time to figure this one out - obviously those who
are driving from the east will not be able to do it all in one shot. So
if we are going to all trvel out at once - or at least as many of us
together as we can get, we're going to have to brain storm.
