[JONAT] Lake Havasu to San Diego

[Jamie - JONAT]

If I'm along on that portion, anytime after daylight is okay with me. <grin>
And actually, probably a half-hour prior to daylight would be okay too.  But
then I'm an early riser and more than me, I don't think either of my cars
really like the heat too much.
