Padredw, that's amazing about the mileage. And 2gypsies, I smiled reading your share here, because you're so right about getting off the highways. In the end, I'm convinced I merely need to START somewhere, take it in small one day increments and it will all fall into place... Just call me.... overwhelmed is all. I REFUSE to spend any more money on maps, GPS, cuz I think I've got one of everything, every state (except Delornma or whateveritis). I'm taking it ALLLLL IN, and praying for the rest (smile). Thank you all for your suggestions and help.
