Thanks. I'll be saying hi to as many folks as possible along the way, and 
I'm starting the list now. Just quick visits to say hi, a few minutes to 
look at binders, and on the road. I understand this could take a bit longer 
at Eldon's place, but we'll just have to make due.

We're renting a Grand Marquis or some such thing. Half the fuel at 
interstate speeds compared to the 73 travelall with the T34 (which I just 
sold to Matt O'Bryan anyway. He's expecting to come pick it up while we're 
on the road). I really don't have enough time to take a binder, and this 
saves me about 700 dollars in fuel along with the easier driving, stereo, 
and, of course, cup holders. I would rather stay off the interstates, but it 
adds a couple of days each way to the trip.

Helena has never been past the states that touch AZ, so we will be trying to 
take one route in and another route back, even though we'll be just passing 
through. It's probable that we'll take I-40 to the east coast and head 
north, and then take I-80/76/70 etc and cut through Moab on the way home. 
I-10 and I-20 are also possibilities, depending on weather, but that adds at 
least a day to the trip.
