  1. Can you carry enough fuel with some reserves? - would be my #1 concern.  Mechanical breakdown would be 2nd.  But, yeah, I see the appeal of turning off the cell phone and spending many days away from it all.

    Finished this last night.  Pulitzer finalist from a few years ago.  1800's teens to 20's or so,  story about an immigrant from Sweden and his quest to journey from CA to NYC to find his brother.  Has elements of Cormac from Blood Meridian in the descriptive way he portrays the West, though not that difficult to read.  Not long, pretty quick read, really enjoyed it.

    I finished "Trust" by Hernan Diaz earlier this month.  Also have this one on my list.

    Nope. The Goodreads reviews are really positive and it's on my list.  AGIM was great.  Really loved RofC.  Couldn't finish Lincoln Highway. Didn't care for that at all. 

     

    Same for me regarding his other books. I thought Lincoln Highway was a dud.  Thought AGIM was perhaps the one of the best books I ever read.

    Thanks, that was last July near Jasper Arkansas. Compression fracture T7, hairline crack T5, seven fractured ribs...., all good now. 890 Duke R was totalled. 

    Kept my mileage down last year. Average 10/15k a year, little over 7 last year. 

    Did you overcook the turn, somebody coming the other way across the lane or what?
