Looking at the distribution of the list makes it pretty obvious where the trek (I like the idea of the 'Boisterous Busing Bufoons' here) should start: California since it has the largest number of rabid owners... But then what? Look at Canada folks. We've (speak up fellow Canadians!) got the next highest number up there (admittedly I think there's a big gap in the middle of the country as I suspect that most of us are in either B.C. or Ontario) and your dollar goes farther up here than it would in your own country: 1$us == 1.38$can We don't have intransigent speed limits (law states that one goes as fast as everyone else--and everybody is going at a decent clip) Gorgeous scenery. Blah, nationalistic blah... You guys could load up on spare parts and sell them to us for gas money... And if you get questioned at the border you can claim that you *always* carry a spare engine with you... Heh. Anyway, I envision something like this: Start in Cal, go north to B.C. then across Canada to Ontario. NY, then south south (highway 61?), Texas then California... Ooh, this could be good. --Ralf
