May Load Slow

Return Trip will follow "Old" Route 66
Must see video

 

The lodging, destination &
mileage information
is correct.
All other information will
be updated as
time permits.

My plan is to get to Reno in 4 (5?) days,
in our RV
Pick up my wife in Reno.

Follow the next 14 days with her.
She will fly home from L.A.
I / We will then drive home via Route 66.


updated
My suggestion - 1 couple can ride with us on the "Green" portion of the trip.
If necessary, (vacation time, etc.) one couple or 1/2 of a couple can ride
with me in the RV from Ohio. The other half of the couple (or the couple)
can fly to Reno, with Eileen then fly back from L.A.

or ?????

All are welcome to caravan ALL or any part of the trip.
Once the dates are confirmed (depends on the vehicle( RV or van)
I will send an e-mail to folks who have expressed and interest
so each of you
can take care of your own reservations.
