It had been a while since I hit the road on a long vacation adventure. I had been on a handful of three-day trips to Detroit for trade shows and a loop in the northern Wisconsin - Eastern Minnesota - Upper Michigan area for card collecting trips, and I had flow out to Las Vegas a couple times a year, but I had not spent a week on the highways in a long time. December of '94 I went through Missouri, Mississippi and Lousiana, and June of '95 I went through south western Minnesota, South Dakota, out to Southern Nevada and through Colorado on the way back. In June of '97 I went through western Missouri, Kansas, Colorado again, and another trip through South Dakota and western Iowa. But sincethen, and my extended trips were flights out to Las Vegas and a car rental there. So my new trip is gonna be good...
