Greetings Lucas,
You probably have seen a hundred images of Mile "0" on Highway One similar to the one I have attached. Too bad that highway does not extend another 90 miles and one could then drive straight to Cuba. I was in Tampa/St.Pete and the Keys for about 2 weeks then all the way up to South Dakota, Iowa, Minn., Wisconsin, took the boat to Michigan, Ohio, and then home. Over two months and 5,690 miles. Average 19 mpg. Burns minimum oil. No oil showing on outside of engine at all. The only problem was the struts on the rear hatch failed, so I have ordered a new pair. All in all, it was a very enjoyable time and I want to thank you, again, for making it possible with your help last May.
