I cant wait!!! Im bringing my ps3 in the truck!

 

Funny thing, Route 20 is seven blocks from my house.

To bad there is so much Route 20 between my house and Pipestem, about 3.75 hours worth.

 

Ain't that something! I fear a "Rt. 20 compressor" would make the ride even bumpier...of course Dave is used to bumpy rides are'nt you Dave!

Joe

 

If I take you a ride in my truck, you will have a new definition for bumpy.

Everything else will ride very smooth after that.

Right now I am trying to figure out if I am going to run I 79 or drive down the back roads and run 219 down.

Mapquest has me at 176 miles and 3 hours going down I 79.

 

Dave why not come on up the evening before....You can crash at my place if you want. I've got a spare bedroom....as long as you aren't allergic to my dogs you are welcomed!
