Well I leave tonight, the trip I tried to take last year but couldn't quite get the new motor in and running in time. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)

The new motor is in and running excellent, new shocks, tires, elephant racing bushings, brakes, and a whole lot of rust repair, painting and clean up, and a year later.

Leaving at 2:00am heading for Las Vegas, stay there Thursday get some rest, then on to Albuqurque Friday - Sunday with my son and two grandsons (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif)

Then Sunday night leaving for Atlanta Tx, to visit my Daughter and two granddaughters. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif)

Here's the route

Then back to albuquerque on Thursday, one more visit with the grandsons, then friday to RRC in Durango (IMG:style_emoticons/default/drunk.gif) , Sunday back to Vegas, and Monday back home. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) Hope the 914s up for it. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif)
The route back

A little over 4000 miles and 60 hrs of driving (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)

If anyone wants to get together along my route, My cell (916) 834-6574


See you in Durango.....I hope.
