I've talked with several WIXers and was wondering if there was interest in a WIX expedition somewhere. Some ideas are a RV trip from Washington DC to Pensacola or someplace similar, a trip from Pima, AZ to Reno, NV via Chino, CA.

The Reno trip I was thinking would be good for the Mustang Gathering in 2006 depending on interest.

RV rentals in CA run a couple of hundred a day for a 6 person RV. This is cheaper than a hotel when split 6 ways.

I'm just curious as to who would be interested in a road trip like this?

Now would I do that? Rob's perfectly fine on road trips... of course we don't let him ride INSIDE the car so maybe thats it.

Oh, so that explains it! I noticed Rob had rather big hands... Must be from gripping the roof rack! :P :lol: :wink:

I've found that a long leash, choke coller and liberal amounts of Moxie(Cure For All Ailments and Elixer For The Mind!) allow me to maintain a certain amount of control over Rob. Of course, when events warrent, restriction of the Moxie and relaxing of the leash does have it's benefits................

The day is not my problem with Rob. Try sleeping within a 100 feet of him. The noise is horrendous..and sometimes scarry :shock: Rob is ok during the day as long as you don't say NAVY :!:

Between him and Ryan's antics I got no sleep at Geneseo this year :?
