[John-Tucson]

New news, The drive will be 60.8 miles and time will be 1:45. The restaurant has reservations set for us at !:15 pm. We have options of sitting in the basement, the main floor, or outside. Food prices run from $7 to $13 for a lunch. It was so dark inside that I couldn't see a TV set, and the floors creaked so badly that the sound would drown out any other sound. The menu was in English but the print so small that I couldn't read it. Don't wear fancy clothing because the vinyl red checkerboard table tops seemed to be a bit dirty and the wooden chairs kinda' tilted.
Dress warm, it will be chilly (a cool 62 to 70 degrees). . Bring a blanket to sit on, the roads seem to be getting much worse every year. Camera, bring one, there will be some very pretty scenery to photograph.
Please gas up prior to our departure, we won't be stopping for you if you run out.
If you are going to have car problems please have them the day before or, we'll wave at you and the AAA service vehicle.
There will be a pit stop at 1:07 into the drive for those who need it, I am planning to spend 3 minutes and 15 seconds for this.
