Tony,
Thanks a lot for your input. I can't argue your logic. Your points are well taken. A caravan of 12 on curving roads is about a mile long at 60 mph and 5 second spacing. I'm sure jwthomp (in Colorado) will agree.......
There are a number of procedures and options that can be used in the cities. Thanks for bringing this one up.
You have touched on the exact reason why I provided the .doc file. I stopped diddling with the Guidelines because there are so many more experienced cruisers, like you, that would have input. The .doc file is there so you can edit it for yourself and add these things in. PLEASE do so and plan on forwarding it to be edited into "Cruising Guidelines, Rev 2" this coming fall. I'll also be taking comments from this thread for the edits.
Thanks guys,
Mike
