OK, according to our new GPS we drove 3007.5 miles.
The first 1400+ was down the Natchez Trace and then across through Alexandria to Montgomery (thanks Dan, saved over 100 miles). We ran the Trace with the Bargers and had no reason to stop except fuel and hours.
The route home, varied to catch up with old friends, was much the same. Other than the OE cruise (to be replaced with a vintage Dana) kicking off when it felt like it, Chaumière was her usual sweet self.
Of course I have a list of things that need attention, but some were on that list when we left but I couldn't get the barn warn enough to work in there. (The cruise was on that list along with lots of LED lights.)

Glad the trip was kinda boring, as far as the gmc was concerned. That is the kind I like. Thanks for putting me onto the Garmin 2595. It is perfect for us. I am playing with it as we type. Takes a bit of time to get familiar with any new toy.
Glad y'all left St Louis yesterday. Today has been a nasty day, weather wise.
