8 hr Round Trip

Well I got my one horse farm wagon after an 8 hr round trip starting at 530 this morning and getting back a a few minutes after 2(some loading of the wagon took up some of that time). Another piece of good news is that I finally surpassed that peak 14.6 mpg rating that I have had for so long and actually garnered a mpg rating of 16.2(which trust me for my truck is pretty good) going between 70-71(depending on how your looking at the speedo) and about 2 tick marks beyond 2k on the tach(whatever that reading translates into). All in all despite being zapped of energy, hungry and wanting to take a nap, a very good day.

Always nice to hear about a safe trip on the carnage filled highways and byways of America!

It really wasn't all that bad in transit from point A to point B, but when I got to roughly the end points it was crowded as all get out. It's like everyone had already gotten to where they were going because it was crowded(more so then I thought it would be).

Just curious, was that towing a flatbed or loading in the truck Bed? sounds like a successful mission!

That was in the truck bed. I was originally going to take my small flatbed, but I just didn't want to deal with Knoxville summer traffic.
