Oh I forgot the most important pic that most of you guys wanted lol. The fuely pic here are my stats. 22.3 mpg average for the whole trip and 953 bucks to go 5600 miles. For those going to Gupton, unless your doing a bunch of side trips your miles will be less and I would assume gas prices too. So not factoring in the cost of my time let's say it's free, and the cost to ship your new toy is in the 1500 plus range. Which means that you would have 550 bucks would go towards your food and hotels cost.

Hope this helps you guys balance whether you want to ship vs take a trip. For me obviously I chose the trip and would prob do so again even if say gas was 2 or 3 bucks more a gallon. Like I said the trip was pricey but I don't know how many more trips I'll be able to take with my dad so there for its priceless.

shipping cost is just applied to the cost of your Vacation..
Everyone takes a vacation so there really is no added cost to picking up your JT.

Got these in today. Just waiting for my wind rock ones. Not sure if I should put them on Lizzy or hang them or put on my scrapbook/usa map

No kidding right!! Especially at night lol. I wish I had gotten there a few hours earlier it would have made it easier and I bet the views would be stunning. Although right after sunset was pretty amazing.

The last of the badges came in! I guess I will have to start a new thread for the next adventure.
