[Shotimes] NEW JERSEY TO MADISON in 2 days? 48hours?

Tue, 17 Jun 2003 15:35:28 -0500

Agreed, Ron your caravan last year went very smooth. Most people kept up
fine, most of our problem points were near the toll booths and such. The
rest stops did take a little longer than we wanted but that was expected,
but that's why we made it up on the highway. I'm looking forward to this
years caravan, even though its very short for me ;) Next years California
caravan will be a blast!
