Well, I have to say this is the best "forum" of assistance I think I have ever gotten from any site! Thank You all very much!
I've asked also in other places and are reading their feedback as well but I think the consensus is have every other duck in a row (which worries me travelling from Florida to Washington with a 30 day temp from Oregon...) and follow every other law and hope for the best. Or the smallest tickets they give... Lol
I do especially appreciate the input from the law enforcement...
Oh, and bypass Cali and take the cold snow route through SE Oregon...
