As a newbie, I had to back to page 1 to answer 'what trip?' So Shreveport to home is some 2300 miles but the real trip would be longer to stop by friends and family to let them drool...and ride/drive. Hope it comes at a nice weather time of year...or glad for heater/AC. And hope the passes are clear. Hey, (off topic) any Californian know how CHP thinks/might think of an autocycle with respect to chain control/AWD?
