I have a son in the Marine Corp that is deploying to Afghanistan in Dec for the 2nd time. This time from 29 Palms California. Gonna make a surprise trip out there maybe as early as next weekend. I'll be leaving East Texas on my 2003 Heritage and don't have any real time constraints. Never been on a 1500 mile ride before (one way) and don't have a clue what to expect. Just thought I'd throw this out there and see what kind of feedback I'd get
