Let us add car washes to that list!
On the subject of stopping points, while I agree on refraining from
over-regimentation, every sector, if only for planning purposes, should hav=
e
a master plan with all lodging, driving, sightseeing, and feeding laid out
in excruciating detail. This will keep us planners honest, and help promot=
e
domestic tranquility by allowing for =B3real life=B2 touring.
Also, on the subject of optional lodging points, consider that many people
will be faced with the chore of making reservations for a lot of nights. Le=
t
us make planning as easy as possible for them. Additionally, we have been
hoping to negotiate special group rates, which will help keep people=B9s
expenses down an/or allow them to spend more days on the road.
So... How many weeks are we going to add to the tour? ;0

P.S.: Will we host an official =B36,000 mile oil change=B2 event at the half wa=
y
mark?
This would be a great sponsorship opportunity for some oil company=
!
