Ken, all I can say is "FANTASTIC!" I dream of taking a trip like that.
My wife and I have been following your trip by downloading your pictures
into a slide show program. Your pictures are beautiful, so much so that we
are using some as screen savers. You have a real talent for photography if
you ever need another vocation. I relay like the way you set your roadster
up in some of the pictures. Possibly you could make it on the Roadster
Calendar next year :-)
I have a few questions as I am going to be making some 800 mile runs to
North Florida to see my older sons in Gainesville.
* How did you hold the throttle on the freeway? (cruise control)
My leg cramps up after too long a drive.
* What was you gas consumption? (25 to 30?)
* Average comfortable speed (65 to 75?)
* Better running a night or day?
* What model of camera were you using? It did a wonderful job?
Thank you again for sharing your vacation with us.
