I hear you; time is tough. I did the northern tier in '97. Pretty much everyone I met doing the crossing was either in their 20s or retired. Lots of retirees actually. I'm getting the itch to do another though. I'm thinking more of a west coast to Des Moines ride; the west is the best part of the crossing by a long shot and this way you maximize the good stuff (mtns out west, Black Hills SD, sandhills NE, etc). It doesn't get boring until you hit IA and then you're almost done,
