You're right about taking secondary roads because the interstates are in poor shape. I15 north of Las Vegas is a good road when I go to Utah for fishing and relaxing. I thought I40 was really torn up when I went to Prescott, AZ to check out Whiskey Row but I have given I5 the worst. Have any of you installed those "air ride" seats?" Maybe they would help 'cause I'm giving some thought of going to Alaska next August. I've heard that a cruise would be better than the long drive but what do those pansies know? Well, the USC football team should all be fitted for their caps and gowns before too long:-)
