Default Buying my first glider


OK, Gotta put in my two-cents! I drove, with my buddy Jack, from Portland Oregon to Minden (to get the trailer) to New York and back. It took 9 days, driving about 800 miles a day, resting every night in a "real" bed (motel 6 or such), meals, gas, lodging, total cost was just about $6K. But oh, the memories!
