Trip Update
Sitting in Midland, TX tonight...amid the oil wells and traffic.
Did 588 miles today...74mph average at 18.7mpg. Love the 80mph limit in Texas....that means 85-87 for me and not worry about the troopers.
GL is a pleasure to drive long distances...really not tired or stiff.
Update tomorrow.

sounds like fun... BUT.. 85-87 will get you a ticket in West Texas, there is a zero tolerance along I-10 in some areas.
And your GL is not a F250, so you're sticking out like a sore thumb. be careful

In Gerogia tonight...about 30 miles east of Atlanta. Should reach destination about noon tomorrow.
680 miles today. 71mph average with 18.3 mpg. A/C all the way.
I am beat tonight...lots of traffic and trucks galore. They should ban the passing lane for them...

Arrived in SC about 10:30 AM. Total mileage just about 2500, averaged 68mph at 18.3 mpg. Not bad for a Beast...
Sister is in excellent spirits!
Will try and shoot some pictures this week...:-)
