Rik,

>>...any thoughts as to whether or not I should attempt a 6K mile road  trip? Advice, Cautions, invites for a beer along the way? <<

     Just change the oil and go for it! <G>

    If Jo and I are "lucky" enough to still be stuck in Seneca Falls  (New York's a lonely state when you're the only Westy around), you can make a quick stop- Frank & Rita have been here already.  And it should go without saying that  there are way too many Yankee fans for my comfort level.
