    You should hit a bunch for sure! I'm thinking about taking the southern route to Maggie Valley so I can pick up LA, MS, AL, FL, GA & SC but it may be too hot for that.

    I've been thinking the same way. I figure I will hit the middle states going, plus Ga and SC. Then hit Va, WV, Oh, Ind, Ill, maybe Ia & Neb. on the way home.

    On some later trip I'll do the rest of the southern states and Fla. Then another trip do Md, etc. on up thru New England and the northern midwest states.

    So many states, so little money.

    Montreal MO??? Would that be at SaddleTramp Ranch? When???

    Perhaps missourigirl and I might meet you there! (Although it might be after Labor Day when we get there... soybean harvest, y'know. And I'm one of the "migrant workers" there, as Sue Z dubbed us!)
