We were at it again.  Rented an RV in Chicago on April 27th and have to have it in Everett WA on May 16th.  When we first made the reservations we thought we would go see Ben in Santa Barbara.  Then we thought we would fly Scott in to have a Mothers day celebration in Santa Barbara.  The only weekend which really worked was the weekend before mothers day.  We realized that didnt give us much time between Chicago and SB.   Thats 2225 miles in just a little over 8 days.  Thats around 250 miles a day just driving straight thru.  I wanted to stop at The Gateway Arch and The Four Corner Monument.  Bunny wanted to visit Bugtussel Oklahoma, Santa Fe and Mesa Verde National Park.  Alot to do in a short amount of time.  But we had made all the reservations and we were going.
