Always heard this one, but may actually have to keep it at 65 on the way to the meet, gonna cost enough as it is and this would save a good chunk over the whole trip.

The chairs are a safety net for the beers.

No big screen, but I did just add a Retrax bed cover, love it.

Now you do make a valid point and I really dislike driving slow, so this whole experiment could blow up about 5 mins into the trip.

We could meet you along the way since we're from "downstate". We will probably be leaving early morning so we can get over there by 2pm-ish.

That has possibilities. Can't make a firm commitment yet, but don't see any reason that that won't work. We've been looking forward to a Indiana style pork tenderloin sandwich lunch.

I'm planning on leaving Milwaukee around 3 or 4 am.... gets me through Chicago before rush hour and puts me in Ohio around noon. As a note about the AF museum anyone coming west of Columbus should stop there. I was undecided before I looked at it's position on the map. If you drive through Indy, you pass right by it.
