2657 miles travelled by the odometer from pick-up to drop-off points. Avg. 11 mpg. Not too bad for a V-10 fighting wind and an uphill battle of 6000 feet. Nice little coach- enjoyed the trip. Would pack air mattreses if I had it. It's similar to this one: - Original Message -

Birdie: I too will keep you in my thoughts and prayers. While it may be incurable, they have new treatments that can slow it down, or even put it into remission and things like that. And the most important thing for a good outcome is for the patient to be ready to "fight it hard" even though tha
