Alex Burr - hester_nec Posted December 23, 2010 Report Share Posted December 23, 2010 2 more nights and the fat man flys again!!!! I've heard that he uses the old cross country highways (20, 30, 40, 66 etc) as navigation points!!!!!!!!! Anyway - here's wishing everyone in my American Road family a very, very MERRY CHRISTMAS and HAPPY HOLIDAYS to all. Please travel safe this holiday season - and thru all the upcoming year. We don't want to loose anybody. Hudsonly, Alex Burr Memphis, TN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
