With going northeast in 2010, that leaves the northwest section of the continental US states to which I have yet to travel. So ... sometime in 2011 ... I will drive through Minnesota, the Dakotas and out west, maybe even Idaho, Washington and Oregon.

I had a WONDERFUL trip the weekend of Thanksgiving, driving through southern IL, middle TN, parts of MS (namely Tupelo), and Alabama (Birmingham). I even had time to stop at a few places along Route 66 in Dwight IL and Odell IL! Pics, etc., will be ready soon.

In the meantime ... a quick note about 2010 ... the trip, as of now, WILL be in August, as I've noted, unless the Binghamton event is a different weekend. So, if you want to meet up along the way, let me know....!
