    I can't believe how thoroughly you are prepared for road trips. You've got the air compressor for tires,oil,fuel,supplies etc. I'm so impressed that a young man your age is so well thought out not too many your age are too bright.

    In 1996 when, I was on exchanges with the British Royal Marines, to the US Marines, one of the guys in the team I was attacked to, came from, Arizona, he took a group of us, white water rafting, we camped one of the nights, at Diamond Creek Beach. I’ve even got to do a training jump into the Grand Canyon on a field exercise. Love the makeshift funnel, to top up the oil, you just have to improvise sometime.

And BTW if you drive route 66 all the way to Chicago you pass by my childhood home in Harvey Ill. It's just up the street from the Mall they filmed the "Blues Brothers" In. Stay safe and please keep living your everyday adventures. This one looked Epic
