Cool... looks like a fun trip. At least you'll get to visit several mechanic, and auto-parts locations. Make sure you take plenty of tools and your AAA card to tow that Ford!!
Wouldn't hurt to throw a bike up on that Thule rack to pedal your way to the next stop, when it breaks down.
Its awesome you can make the trip., boy that's a lot of seat time sitting. Very cool. Hope you miss that big freeze. Looks like its pretty nasty in that area. Safe travels!.
