    Patrick - glad to hear she continues to get better. It is difficult to get range of motion back after they demobilize it to heal.

It has been a long, hard road that I do not want to have her ever experience again...
        I took out 2 rims and a tire taking a corner on Middlebelt road. It was in my 13 Focus ST. I too am wonder what suspension parts I will need. (Note to self. get the new shocks for the wagon by next year.)

          The roads that we will be on will not be that bad. We're not going to be around any major cities until we head to Woodward.

              UPDATED

              Have been working on our Mitten trip. Have a few places for Hotels. Still have a couple to find. Here is what we have to far.

              Saturday Aug 12th. We will have a dinner at our house Saturday late afternoon/evening. There is a small Mom and Pop place about a mile from our house. At this time they only have 9 rooms. Rooms are 119.00 plus tax., they can be cancelled a week ahead of time with no charge. There are a few other hotels about 8-10 miles away in Okemos that I can look into if needed. These would be the chain type hotels, The one near our house is
