With the purchase of the Mobile Suites the PO gave me a tire monitor system and if this thing works right I haven't seen temps above 100° yet on the tires. Its so tempting to just let it fly and I have for short bursts at hills!

I reserved the 11th thru the 16th in case we want to go early. I don't see up getting there the 11th. When are you planning on being there Aaron?

I just have the 14th, 15th, and 16th reserved. I may call and see if the 13th is still available for my cabin.

I'm coming without a trailer (most likely) so I'll probably want to roll about 80+ mph. Last year it took me exactly 8 hours to get there. Trey (my son) did awesome for 7.5 hrs of the trip but the last 1/2 hour he was getting sick of riding. I don't know how he'll do this year. He's a LOT more mobile now lol.

I 'roll' at 80 sometimes at a bottom of a hill but that's about it.

LOL, I usually start out these trips at like 75 mph, but the farther I drive the heavier my foot gets lol. By the end I've got the cruise set at 85 just so I don't go faster!

This is one of my favorite songs/music videos. Just thought I'd share to get everybody all pumped for RRE, lol. Gotta love all the Fords!

Lord have mercy. You and Alex should ride together and listen to that pop music. Lol

Glenn, you're getting soft. Let it rip at 70! Lol

We will be there the 10th.(Sunday)
I'm going to do family vacation stuff since this is the remaining part of my vacation time.
I think Brian is coming early as well. I don't want to be in ANY hurry this trip!

Aaron, I would not object to meeting up with you in Ky and convoying together, if you would like. I can take 64 to Lexington and pick up 75 on down.

I would love to Brian but that is a long way out of the way for us both. The first time I met bill we did that. It was terribly longer for both of us honestly.

We have gone that way but the normal route is 41 south to 24east then at Nashville catch 40 the rest of the way. You will double your trip time and I'll add 3 hrs if history repeated it's self.
I really wish it did not because that would be cool.
