Your right, Nebraska. I remember stopping way back when.

Maybe I should respond to posts when I'm awake

I'm in the north county, we came home from laughlin one time and took some of the infamous "route 66" it is in such crapy shape, I can't think of any other road that I got so much paint damage to my box. Never again.

No problem. The corn, soybeans, and cattle all look the same whether you're in Kansas or Nebraska. We have so few attractions, I didn't want to give Kansas credit for it.

I've driven my 01 to the last 8 Parades the longest was Milwaukee to San Diego and back.

The biggest issue I've had is tires. I have had to replace the rear tires twice while on a Parade trip, once for unexpected wear and once due to a puncture that shredded a tire.

Hoping you'll post up pictures of the trip and car. Inquiring minds want to know...
