Drive safe, Al. You've about 1300+ miles (2092+ kms to our Northern Brothers). See you Friday night! As well as any others of our RABBLE who happen to make the scene.

WOOHOO!!!!! I'm officially on vacation!! No trousers for 17 days!


The snow is tapering off a bit so I think the drive tomorrow morning should be ok. We hope to make it as far as Salt Lake City (900 miles) by tomorrow night, then do the final 450 miles on Friday. That should get us into Las Vegas sometime in the early afternoon. We're doing the trip down "Cannonball" style, ie no stops for anything other than gas and food. We'll take our time coming home, though.

I'll be checking in with the forum tomorrow night if we can find a motel with wireless internet.

We can't wait to arrive and finally meet up with everyone!! See ya'll in a couple of days!

Al,
Marilyn and I are driving on friday morning from Coalville about 60 miles East of SLC. We will leave about 8:30 or 9:00 but are going thru the Provo Canyon and then down I-15 We will be right behind you. See you there Friday night at the Rio.

Al,

You're probably way ahead of me, but just in case...the best way to drive a long way fast with two people is to alternate time at the wheel every hour. Tempting to go longer, but if you can discipline yourselves to trade out driving every hour you'll arrive a lot more rested and be safer en route.

Really grumbling about not being able to make it over myself as originally planned.

If we stay at a place with a wireless 'net connection, I'll put up a post tomorrow night letting you know where we finally stopped. Perhaps we can run down to Vegas together if things work out right.

That probably would work best, but unfortunately Karen doesn't like to drive on the highway, especially someplace she's never been to before. On the plus side, I've been known to run 1000+ mile trips in one shot all by myself with no ill effects. I've had many years of practice.

It really is too bad that you can't make it. Perhaps next time.

Our proposed side trip next week to your part of the world is still up in the air. Our union is meeting with the city tomorrow to look at the latest proposal, but no-one is holding out any hope. As such, there's a very good chance that we'll be going on strike in May. If that is the case we won't be doing much in the way of side trips this time around. I dont' want to run up the credit cards if I don't have an income for awhile.

I think we'll be leaving Ogden as early as possible tomorrow morning, probably no later than 06:00. We want to get in to Vegas as early as possible so we can relax a bit before the get-together. See you then!
