Leon in Texas,
I wish you would call and tell my DW what is written in this thread (I can't get her to sit long enough to read this). We took our 2619 TM this summer from Memphis to Shenendoah NP in one sitting. With her doing a lot of the driving, we left our house at about 5:30 (CDT) in the morning and got there at @ 8:00 (EDT). Mapquest has it listed at 717.13 miles. It also says @11 hours, but we didn't make it that fast. She was driving around 70 MPH. We generally only go on 500 mile (@8 hr) trips.
We had planned on stopping at a state park just over the VA line, but she changed her mind just as we left! I wonder if anyone else has that problem?
I did buy new tires this year and upgraded to 14" tires. They are a Chapperral radial brand. The 13" Carlisles weren't holding up.
We are planning a trip out west in the coming years. As a cost saving measure, we might even stay in a Walmart. Has anyone ever done this -- and does Walmart still allow this?
