    yeah but 600 miles, 2 gallon tank, 35 mpg, is 8.5 stops for gas, pee and picking yer nose. LOL

    Takes a long time to do 600 miles with 2 gallons of gas...

    Yup, it took all the daylight hours and then some. But I got 50 MPG, not 35. Still, I ran out of gas once out in the desert. Scary. No cell phones in those days and lots of scorpions & cactuses.

    Josh, if you would consider trailering, put you up here, save $$. We will ride back roads, stop often as you like, see some absolutely great country AND Wheels Through Time....
