>> Anyone who’s on the fence about doing this ride should do a little research
My wife will be in SE Texas at that time.. she's driving there from Michigan so I could hitch a ride pretty cheaply....but it's at least a two-week trip for her and I'm still working full time, so not in the cards.
It does sound like a fabulous idea.
Especially as there is a -5 F wind chill going on outside. Pure Michigan.™
