Preparation advice needed for cross-country XTerra trip
Hi guys,
I'm looking for any advice for the best things to do to prepare for a cross-country trip in my new XTerra. I'll be driving from Richmond, VA to Seattle Washington between Jan 1st and 4th and I'm making a check-list of things to do before the trip, things to check daily before we take off from the hotel, and a list of items to keep with at all times in case of a problem. Any help you guys can give would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Wes

Trip Prep!
Here is what I used to do when I went home for Xmas to Montana when I lived in N. Carolina.
1. Changed the engine oil before and after trip. 2. Check air pressure on tires everyday and for damge to tires. 3. Check antifreeze level. 4. Wash all windows every morning. 5. Check all lights for function. Wash them to if necessary. 6. Make sure all cargo is secured inside and out. 7. Visually check Power steering fluid, Brake fluid, AT fluid if so equipped. Always have on hand a roll of toilet paper! With fast food, it sometimes become fast stops in the middle of nowhere!  Doesn't hurt to have a gallon of water either and a days worth of food for each person.

Music.
Maps. Cash (nothing sucks more than searching for a bank machine in a strange town). Cell phone or calling card. Spare key in a non-loseable-place (like around your neck).

Who made you king?
Listen Rrdstarr. Strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony.
You can't expect to weild supreme executive power just 'cause some watery tart thew a yellow truck at you!

Tim the Enchanter
Follow. But! Follow only if ye be men of valour, for the entrance to this cave is guarded by a creature so foul, so cruel that no man yet has fought with it and lived! Bones of full fifty men lie strewn about its lair. So, brave knights, if you do doubt your courage or your strength, come no further, for death awaits you all with nasty, big, pointy teeth.

FRENCH GUARD: Allo! Who is eet?
ARTHUR: It is King Arthur, and these are my Knights of the Round Table. Who's castle is this? FRENCH GUARD: This is the castle of my master, Guy de Loimbard. ARTHUR: Go and tell your master that we have been charged by God with a sacred quest. If he will give us food and shelter for the night, he can join us in our quest for the Holy Grail. FRENCH GUARD: Well, I'll ask him, but I don't think he'll be very keen. Uh, he's already got one, you see. ARTHUR: What? GALAHAD: He says they've already got one! ARTHUR: Are you sure he's got one? FRENCH GUARD: Oh, yes. It's very nice-a. (I told him we already got one.) FRENCH GUARDS: [chuckling] ARTHUR: Well, u-- um, can we come up and have a look? FRENCH GUARD: Of course not! You are English types-a! ARTHUR: Well, what are you, then? FRENCH GUARD: I'm French! Why do think I have this outrageous accent, you silly king-a?! GALAHAD: What are you doing in England? FRENCH GUARD: Mind your own business! ARTHUR: If you will not show us the Grail, we shall take your castle by force! FRENCH GUARD: You don't frighten us, English pig-dogs! Go and boil your bottom, sons of a silly person. I blow my nose at you, so-called Arthur King, you and all your silly English k-nnnnniggets. Thpppppt! Thppt! Thppt! GALAHAD: What a strange person. ARTHUR: Now look here, my good man-- FRENCH GUARD: I don't wanna talk to you no more, you empty headed animal food trough wiper! I fart in your general direction! Your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries! GALAHAD: Is there someone else up there we could talk to? FRENCH GUARD: No. Now, go away, or I shall taunt you a second time-a! [sniff] ARTHUR: Now, this is your last chance. I've been more than reasonable. FRENCH GUARD: (Fetchez la vache.)
