OK, let's see if this works. Those that may be along the route, let me know
if this all sounds reasonably doable. (or NOT)
First evening: Lakewood (isn't that an interesting name for a town) CA to
Needles, CA - 260 miles - 4 hours.
First full day: Needles to Shamrock (got to get lucky with that one) TX -
907 miles - 14 hours
Second (and last) day: Shamrock to Glen Ellyn, IL - 960 miles - just under
15 hours
Hours shown is actual road time. Obviously, there will be stops - so add 2
maybe 2 1/2 hours (each day) for those?
If I run out of gas (my body) on the last day, I should at least be able to
make St. Louis - which I know to be 5 hours from home. But, being that
close and knowing ME, I probably will not want to stop when that close to
the goal.
Comments anyone? Besides the fact that I'm nuts.
It was not too many years back that I did MD and home on a Sat - Sunday
trip. Looked at three RUSTY Rampsides - did not buy any of them. Got one
near St. Louis several months later. Nice, right Bob Bauer?
Attachments (if any) are scanned with anti-virus software.

'66 beater Coupe - icemobile 4/140
(signature change will possibly be transparent)
