Concept 16.5 BIN 300.00

Definitely leave early, the Grapevine has had some trouble with bad weather and Ice/snow so there have been some delays and traveling could be slowed. May be better in the later morning.

Normally a 3 hour drive so would leave at least around 10am or earlier. As for sights, don't know, haven't been to Fresno in almost 20 years!!

Have a safe trip and be sure to put the receiver in the trunk, inside a big box if possible so it doesn't bang into anything.

Regards,

Bart

...and the methamphetamine manufacturing capitol of the world until state legislation controlling the distribution of OTC "amphetamines" (read pseudoephrine) and other economic factors obliged the lords of meth to relocate the bulk of their manufacturing operations to Mexico. Sam, watch your step in Fresno; bringing along a friend as backup ain't a bad idea.

After 425 miles and 11 hours, I made it home safely with my new to me 16.5. I think it will need some work but the seller adjusted the price. I'll post over in VSS after I have a look.
