Things I learned driving cross country with G

1. G is a damn good packer... who knew
2. It's amazing how much shit you can cram into a 14' UHAUL (even when you didn't think you had that much stuff)
3. Sleeping on the floor sux (I must be getting old)
4. Make sure the Jeep's 2 wheel and 4 wheel drives are FIRMLY in neutral before you start towing it on the tow dolly. the back wheels make a horrible dragging noise if the transfer casing is not firmly in neutral.
5. You cannot go in reverse with a tow dolly
6. LA sucks. Sucks. Sucks and Sucks some more. It took us THREE HOURS to get through LA (and went the "bypass" way at 1pm when it was supposed to be "easy")
7. You will not make it to Deming, NM in one day if you get stuck for three hours in LA.
8. Driving a 14' UHAUL with a Jeep in tow through high winds in west Texas is NOT fun !!
9. Exhausted and stressed out G is not a happy man to be around. (but I couldn't really blame him.. I wasn't exactly pleasant by 2am on the second day of the drive either)
10. Your knuckles turn very very white when you clutch the UHAUL steering wheel when 18 wheels pass you going 85 mph.
11. There is nothing in west texas
12. Cell phones do not like to take baths in coolers (they're sending G a new one)
13. IPODS do not like to takes baths in coolers either (but are still functional)
14. You will never be more tired than after days of loading, packing, and driving across country. I was in a coma as soon I got to a comfy bed in Dallas.
