Some really great real life info from you folks that tour books don't give. A few more questions about the 301 portion - how are gas stations for easy access with a TT being towed?

In nasty weather, you'll think you're the subject of a Discovery Channel documentary on Stranded Polar Explorers Never Heard From Again...
