Really? I'm always quite comfortable in my CE with the exception of Penn. roads. They're the worst IMHO, and it's 10-12 hours into a 950 mile run that day. It's smooth sailing when I hit NY.

Bryan trailers his because he has slicks on it

Talk about getting lucky, Charlie and his son came through Shawnee, OK today and Pete just happen to be rolling through at the same time. It's hard enough getting 2 C4Geners let alone 3 of us getting together. A great opportunity to tell some lies face to face.

Funny how things worked out.

Bill thanks for recommending the BBQ place, it was good chow.

That damn wolf's picture is one of the reasons I don't hike in the woods. Charlie needs to post that picture in here.

I drove to the 100% gasoline gas station (no ethanol) and filled it up there. Good stuff!!!!

Good to see the Ghost getting some road time...it was down so long with the gear project.

How are the mpg's with 3.90's Pete?

On the freeway I would get 24-26 and before I started doing this power tour the average was 22.9. I think is great MPG for a 3.90 and the AC on.

I got a code today, saying the oxygen sensor blah blah blah, autozone erased the code and it didn't came back up until this afternoon again. Both times the engine was cold and I was driving slow. No idea WTH is going on.

I disconnected the battery to remove the code and on the way back to the hotel it never came back on.

I was hoping you would post up a pic. I forgot to bring a camera and the one I took with my phone isn't very good. Yeah that wolf pic was messed up, now I'm afraid to go out in my back yard.

Damn Jon, I have a good friend who lives in Sandy UT. My wife and I were thinking one day to go see him, but he just told us he's moving to Nashville to help his daughters music career. I guess Nashville would be pretty cool though

Caterpillar and dragonfly season? and I'm not talking 'bout yellow equipment.

I could hardly believe how many bugs are in the forest up there trying to breed in the 8-10 weeks of warm weather.

I went into the woods to take a leak and mosquitoes landed on my junk. The one thing I will give you guys credit for is that the DEET and OFF bug repellent is sold in stronger formulations than down here.
