Hi, Nascar,
we are only half as nuts. We're going for only 4-5 weeks and going only as far as Arizona and back.

Just got back last month from the up and down trip. Wa to Az, 3384 miles in 31 days with a ten day layover on the coast. July/August will bring a trip to Iowa and then down along the Mississippi to Cape Girardeau, Mo. and we don't like heat so there is nuts. Diesel should be around five dollars a gallon by then. Aren't we lucky?

While you are here in Cali, you might want to consider Yosemite since you will go from San Diego to San Francisco, a few hours out of the way, but what a site to see!
