I have done I-40 from Wilmington to Barstow.  I did US 50 from west to east 
but I was sick most of the time.  My intent is to stay south this time and 
see some of the country I have not seen before.

Thanks, my son and I have my mother visiting for the next week so I am 
hoping the weather holds.  Today was absolutely beautiful, hard to believe 
this is mid October.
