With a home base in "the city of big shoulders", Chicago, the Wanderers have been hitting the road on and off for over 14 years. They have covered over 30 of the US states. This will be their second road trip outside the US,the first ended when they got hit by a Mac truck in Costa Rica! Perhaps will post a couple pics to show you how that turned out but back to this adventure. "Big E" is especially looking forward to not doing all the driving for once. It's not "the Kid's" fault that he was only 4 when they took that first 3000 mile drive. This time though he can pilot some of the miles that lay ahead (IF he gets his license in time!!). He has been an excellent travel companion and a fair navigator but this time "big E' will get a chance to fold the maps wrong and choose the travelin' tunes (thank god for the magic of MP3 players,eh?) Nuff said here meet the lads and see what they have to say about all this.
