This weekend I am flying to Macon, GA to pick up my second GMC, a Birchaven with a 500 Cad engine, Applied GMC 3.70 final drive, instrument panel upgrade etc. My first GMC is a 76 Royale which will soon be for sale. Will be driving back to the Seattle area, almost 3,000 miles. I am taking a few tools, my son (a real mechanic as opposed to me, an amateur), AAA card, credit card, Black list, Jim Bounds' phone number. I will keep track of the mileage and report how it drives when I get back.
Current route plan is Macon - Atlanta - Nashville - Kansas City - Lincoln - Salt Lake City - Boise - Pendleton - Portland - Sequim. I would appreciate any comments if anyone has experience with these highways or possibly a better route through the Rockies.
I am hoping for a pleasant and uneventful road trip.
