He's not been online all weekend, a mate of ours has just gone out for a week to see him and he's no doubt been smashed for the last 3 days. When he's on msn next I'll see if he can elaborate a little more, I did just get a short message on fb though.
Tell him to take a detour and go over Hoover dam, around the grand canyon, up through monument valley and then east on i70.(it's almost 1000 miles rather than 700miles if you just did the straightforward route...even if he just went the regular way the drive is spectacular and views are there without having to hunt.
Cheers mate I'll take a look at that route.
