Sorry I never met you out there (or maybe I did!) I did that tour many times, most recently also with a 1985 Pro-Tour. I'm afraid I didn't like its handling very much, both loaded and unloaded, and sold it last year. I love my 1981 Specialized Sequoia (pre-Expedition geometry) although it does not have cantilever brakes. I'll get back to touring after the rando season!
