By your description, and leaving through Roosville you were 20 minutes away from were I live. Did you come down highway 95? Would have loved to meet up with you. Sounds like a wonderful trip.
Highway 95 starts in Golden B.C., heads on south right through Las Vegas, then Yuma Arizona, and ends in San Luis Mexico.

Just curious, what is the comfortable cruise speed of that truck? And thanks for the ongoing trip report.

Usually when I'm pulling the trailer I'll run 60-65 mph. When it's the truck alone, 65-70 easy

I plan to be there. Supposed to meet my nephew and do a little hiking in the smoky mountain nat park for his birthday, but not sure if before or after the show. I'll figure it out by that time though

Well... pulled back into south Arkansas this AM. 15626 miles with only one minor problem, a transmission leak (thanks Dan), and almost 4 months of travel I have made it home.
As soon as I can figure out the conflict between my phone and laptop, I swear I'll load the rest of the pics and post a link.
Now it's time to start planning the next grand adventure
