[SEL] OT again,,,,trip to Reading PA

[bill at antique-engines.com]

Thanks.....

I think it was I seventy-something a counsin suggested.

I'd like to avoid mountains and steep grades..... no trailer brakes.
The brakes on the truck are GREAT, 3/4 ton heavy axles, but still.
I like flat, I like smooth, I like no tolls and a free ride. Iowa has no
tolls, but has excellent roads and highways. Wonder why the others can't
do the same? They sell more gas and have more registered vehicles to
collect taxes on.....

Anyway, I hope to take the fastest, smoothest and most level route.
