    There are parts of Texas that are like most of Montana. If you see a fuel stop, get fuel because who knows with the next one is.
    Keep the shiny side up Velox and keep them wheels turning and earning.

    Your son is gonna be pretty homesick going to school on the other coast isn't he? That'll be allot longer than three weeks, right? He's not into USC, UCLA, Stanford, or even Cal Poly? San Luis Obispo is pretty dang cool. Arizona and Arizona state are okay too. ASU can be a party trap for students though. But the coeds there are, wow. Or even like a UC Santa Barbara?

    The numbers may not be the best, but think of it this way. Usually visiting colleges costs you money - a lot of money, even if it’s not great you are visiting colleges and making money and as the point of this trip was to visit colleges not make bank I’d say you are doing great if you come out ahead at all. That’s a win

    I know you are learning on the fly but traveling at speeds of 75 and above require more tire inflation! If you do decide to travel at these higher rated speeds you're exposing yourself to the possibility of tire failure so please be careful and read up on your tire inflation information especially on the steer tires? I know it's fun to make that truck rock down the highway but man all your doing is giving you profit to the oil companies.... I agree with below slow that bad boy down and put more money in your pocket by increasing your fuel milage... Good luck and safe travels!
