Saying goodby to the NW! Road trip time

well, its time that i head back to college. I go to school at EMU in Virginia. So in about 3 hours i will be leaving and heading out east! i drove my 7 over here from VA at the end of the year with no trouble! it is about 3k miles overall and i will be planning on arriving around 5pm on friday

my friend will be going with me and so it will be some good times for sure!

wish me luck!!!

good question... it worked out just right cuz he had to go to a wedding in Ohio on the 16th, so i just toook the north route and dropped him off... then he is getting a ride down here to school to chill for a few weeks... he goes to school in Or.

this was my 2nd cross counrty trip with my FC... im sooo happy that it does so well... one day it was like 100 degrees and coming up some of those long hills with like 800lbs of **** in the back, the FC did warm up a bit, but other then that, she did well!
