Glad you made it back safely Tim. Bet you're slightly tired- I know I would be after a marathon driving session like that.

I'm sure your butt must be sore. :mrgreen: Hmm that's almost an iron butt. So glad you made it home in one piece.

Errrrrrrrrm Tim, ole man, maybe the long trip frazzled yer brain, but unless I am mistaken, and I admit I'm not good at maths, it's actually 18 hours not 15, unless you weren't counting the stops?

I too am glad you made it home safe, you might has well come to Iowa, and make it to all the important states.

Central time zone caused the hour difference.

Oops my bad, forgot that happens up there. No time zone differences in Bim, waaaaay too small. LOL

Oh so the old brain WASN'T fuddled. Oh shite, don't you have a burfday coming up in a few months. Remind me to send you up a cane for your burfday. :mrgreen: :e11

Amazing :shock: Respect :thumbup:
How many gas stops?
My personal is about 683 miles but that was in two days. Had 5 gas stops in one day.
