I hope you are staying south of the snow hitting the upper Midwest today. Not much at all but will slow you down.

if your going to RVW, don't bother washing your truck before you get there, the place is a mud hole. Oh, and expect your unit to be sitting in the same mud while your doing a walk through. I just had this wonderful experience yesterday.

Thanks for heads up - I defiantly was not thinking of washing truck though ---why? 😄
But will call ahead to tell them to not park it in the mud or I won't sign till its moved - pretty simple -

They don't spend their money frivously on the place, that's for sure. I got in and out without getting stuck, life's good.

Well you and your Dad are making good time. Looks like you missed the late March snow storm a bit north of you. Looking forward to seeing the continued pics...

I am there with you buddy, recently went from Alberta to Ohio to pick up my trailer. Took 2 different routes, there and back, get used to corn fields, cows calving and wind farms. Stay away from toll roads if possible. Enjoy your journey

That's what we are about to do. Two different routes that take almost the identical time so as to keep it interesting. About 800 miles each way. Love me a good road trip...
