Great stuff... these cross country trips are THE BEST. I spent 6 months on just two lane roads in an air cooled VW Vanagon Westfalia in 2000, did all of Route 66 among other things... Nice photo of your coupe at the "Hackberry General Store" in Hackberry, AZ... that's one of the most typical looking places along the Route... old signs, etc. I made a website journal entry each night and hooked up my laptop to a cellular modem... long before the days of blogs and wi fi, I had to create a new web page and upload photos for each day. My digital camera was really expensive at the time... 1.2 mega pixels! I also took a 40 year old Asahi Pentax and shot many, many rolls of black and white film. One of the best trips of my life, in this country anyway.
I did a trip from Albequerque, NM back to Minneapolis about a year and a half ago too, in a 450SLC 5.0... that was a much 'faster' trip than in my 67HP Volkswwagen van 14 years earlier... the 5.0 SLC was right at home at about 90mph across the desert.
What about a cross country trip for sl113.org members... create a route, and dates... and people join up for as long as they'd like between the start point and end point? THAT could be great... some people go the whole way, others part way, however much your time and budget might allow?
