Well we made it home okay.
Left Phoenix fully loaded with even more Christmas gifts, drove north on
I-17 to Flagstaff, then East on I-40 to Oklahoma City, then North on I-35 to
Kansas City. Spent the night in Erick, OK in the middle of nowhere. Snow in
Flagstaff and a bad snow storm in OK. Cars where in the ditches left and
right. We hit ice on an overpass but fortunately were able to stay on the
road. I already saw myself being broadsided by the 18-wheeler tailing me.
No mechanical problems, just the darn' bucking occasionally.
Gas mileage bewteen 15-21 mpg.
Kept the van above 80mph between Flagstaff and Erick,Ok., and through
Kansas.
Hope you all had a splendid holiday.
Cheers,
Hermann de Boer
