Thanks everyone for the welcome.

I had already been looking at driving down Rt. 17, so that might work. I will be doing some work on the truck between now and then and will need to make a call as things get closer as to whether she's up to the miles.

As to the "Trooper" thing. My other interest is horses, and I'm a member of the U.S. Cavalry Association. My rank in that organization is "Trooper" (which would be a "Private" in the Infantry). So, when I'm not driving my truck, my other ride is exactly 1 horse power.
