cross-country drive coming up...

[amalventano1@comcast.net (Allyn)]

glad to see a rocco owner heading over to the east coast. im a bit out of the way, but should you be
swinging around this way for any other reason, you're more than welcome to spend the night at my
place. be sure to get phone numbers of all the stops you intend to make (and perhaps sone numbers of
places you arent stopping, for if your rocco stops on its own :).
