sheeesh.... since you put it that way it depresses even me Lumpy!!! lmao sad but true.i drive a Jeep Grand Cherokee Ltd.and i am out on disability right now so paying for local driving has been tough(although i've began a small biz on eBay),let alone drive out of state to a break.up until recently i was getting 12to14mpg locally(which is probably more of what those Burban's are getting)until i fixed my info control panel that tells me my gas mileage up to the second so i've been able to adjust my foot on the pedal and i've been averaging 18mpg around town.

anyways,i can only imagine what you guys in the Suburbans would be paying for a ticket in the gas for a round trip,i say pull the alternators if you are handy,put them in the back with all of your equipment and when you get to the break put them back on with the help of volunteers.i sure as shit would help(i don't know much about mechanics but can follow orders to get it done).i don't know for 100% that i will be able to make it but if business stays the way it has been over the last month then i will be coming.

i say screw sleeping in a hotel.YOU'VE GOT A SUBURBAN.... sleep in it!! if i can't afford(or i won't afford one)then i'll be sleeping in the back of my Jeep.i always have a power inverter.i have a small one at 200watts and a rather large one that has to get hooked directly up to the battery for 1500watts(running watts)so i can run any small appliance i may need.if i have a travel/storage trailer by then,then i'll be bringing along a bedroom worth of stuff along with my generator so anyone that'll need electricity that is also sleeping in their vehicle,can plug in.

but the point is-do what ya can to get to a break.i'd hate to go to my first ever break(if i can make it)and there not be anyone there.i am interested in making some good friends out of this thing of ours(the words of the Sopranos lol).
