The
lodging, destination &
mileage
information
is
correct.
All
other information will
be updated as time permits.
My plan is to get to
Reno in 3.5 days,
in my '67 GMC Van.
Pick up my wife in
Reno.
Follow the next 9 days with
her.
She will fly home
from L.A.
I will then drive home via Route 66.
My suggestion - 1 or 2 couples
can ride
with us on the "Green"
portion of the trip.
We can caravan from Ohio or
folks can fly to Reno,
rent a car, then fly back
from L.A.
or join us for any portion of the trip . . .
even if it is 'just" for lunch or dinner
or ?????
All are welcome to caravan ALL or any part of
the trip.
Once the dates are confirmed (depends on my van)
I will send an e-mail so each of you
can take care of your own reservations.
