Well then, you must be passing by my place about now.

That is if you're driving all back roads through the corn fields, then maybe.

Stop at a Walmart or Dollar General store and pickup some cheap spring loaded curtain rods for use as load locks in the fridge.

That sounds like a good idea. I will definitely consider that.

Be careful opening overhead storage bins, as well.

If you're going through Tulsa The Center of the Universe is there and it's pretty neat.

Just a short drive from Tulsa is a suburb called Jenks where there's an awesome aquarium.

Highway 44 at Pacific, Six Flags is old 66, and by what was once a huge sulfur mine. You can still see it. The Coronet and I have been there many times.

When in St Louis, a St Louis style Pizza at IMO's is a must. [as is the Drews custard recommended earlier]

[its not on 66, but "Old Town" St Charles is HIGHLY recommended...]

 

[themechanic]

How much time does it take to unload the car and reload it onto the trailer?

Does it stay level the whole way!

 

[Richard Cranium]

Does it stay level the whole way!

It does, but there are a series of small round capsules you sit in to go up. Each capsule holds 5 people. Each side of the arch has elevators.
