I am heading out for a summer road trip later this week with the old El Camino to attend the Hot Rod Power Tour. I will be traveling a strange winding route from WY to Indianapolis, then to the south from KY, TN, AL, GA, SC, NC, and back to TN. Followed by a side trip to Buffalo, NY before returning to Wyoming.
The primary goal of the trip is the Power Tour, but I will be bringing the Arrow and the D72 along with me. I hope to activate as many grids as I can along the way. I will mostly be working AO-91 and AO-92. I won't be in the rarest grids ever, but I plan to be on back roads as much as possible and hopefully away from the cites when possible.
I hope to get some good contacts and grids for you all. And I just want to give a big shout out to Sean KX9X, Patrick WD9EWK, and Doug N6UA for all the help getting me started.
See you all on the birds.

P.S. I won't have much internet access, so I will try to put my plans on Twitter when I can, but it will be spotty.
I read this morning about your trip and I promptly forgot about it. But as I am riding along route 66, I met some nice car with power ride signs, and all came to my mind. I have only a TH-F7 with me, which I choose over the TH-D7 as it has ssb hf reception (and is way smaller). I will try to follow your schedule. What is your twitter account? And by the way, which prefix letter should I add to my Italian callsign? As far as I can understand, being currently in NM my callsign should be IZ2QYZ/K5
