My only concern with Okie-Q was the back tracking for some. More I think about it, I like OkieQ as a better starting point, if you don't mind the extra miles. I don't either (mind the extra miles). If there are others who will come and don't want to start at the OkieQ, the caravan can always rendezvous with them at a point along the way that is closer to each of them. That can be EASILY planned once we establish 1) a route and 2) who all is coming. QUESTION #1: Looking over my Rand McNally map, I am seeing alot of scenic highways. Do we want to chose scenic highways over the fastest route? QUESTION #2: Do we want, as far as is possible, to make the "going to" and the "return" trip as different as possible without unduly elongating the trip? Personally, I think scenic roads are good and two relatively different routes are also good. OR fastest route to (just in case we run into problems that slow us down) and a slower scenic route back that we can always cut short in case we are running severely behind? THoughts? Chris

I've got two ideas: 1. Sumas, WA (north of Seattle): Here is the link for the route from Sumas to Deadhorse: http://www.randmcnally.com/rmc/directions/dirGetDirections.jsp?BV_SessionID=@@@@1556161185.1134415227@@@@&BV_EngineID=ccccaddghfdejljcefecggfdffhdgif.0&cmty=0 2. Sweet Grass, MT: this would have Easterners bypassing the Rockies entirely and hwy 15 is a straight shot for Bob. According to my map, these first roads through Canada are not as scenic as the above route: http://www.randmcnally.com/rmc/directions/dirGetDirections.jsp?BV_SessionID=@@@@1556161185.1134415227@@@@&BV_EngineID=ccccaddghfdejljcefecggfdffhdgif.0&cmty=0 Both of these towns are right on the border. Both work fine. Perhaps there are other ideas of where we might rendezvous sooner in the US. Of course, if two cars are coming from, say, Missouri, those two would caravan together to the main rendezvous point, etc. If there are Canadians wanting to come, we need a Canada rendezvous point too. Thoughts, suggestions, feedback, better ideas?

It will take FOREVER to go through 4 gallons. Info sheet attached.

About 160K miles, doesn't start well in cold, runs and shifts OK, vacuum leak renders door locks inoperative, minor body rough spots, may be worth restoring. Any interest?
