Well, for me, going that direction and distance would be hard to justify
when we could spend the same time and similar direction and visit our
son/DIL/grandson in Indy. :-)

Spending with your day - yeah, that trumps things. :-)

My wife and I have been thinking about finding a 'good for the money'
Class C to do some travel with... We like the idea of one of us crawling in
the back to sleep while the other drives, being able to just pull in to 'camp'
or sleep, having the same vehicle to just 'take the home itself' to Wal-Mart
or whatever.

It's just the two of us, and a decent one will still have temporary sleeping
areas for a few more (maybe above the cab, for the grandkids), so it would
still be good for that too...
