Gabriel Hi-Jackers may be your answer. For the trailer you might want to
'splore the fold open tent trailers which are both light and have low
wind resistance.

Not Nat King Cole's "Route 66"?

If we don't have hopes -- what's the point?

I, too, have tinnitus. Too many high powered rifles and jet engines as

      Title: Roy's Route 66 Double Cheeseburger
 Categories: Beef, Cheese, Sandwiches
      Yield: 1 Serving
 
      8 oz Ground chuck
      4 sl Processed American cheese
      2 sl (thin) eye watering red
           - onion
      4 sl (thin) tomato
      2    Leaves crisp lettuce; torn
           Relish, ketchup, mustard,
           - mayonnaise
      1    Sesame seed bun; toasted
           - lightly
 
  At Roy's Amboy, California Caf|-, they served up some
  mighty fine cheeseburgers that kept customers coming
  back time and time again. Roy's Motel and Cafe in Amboy
  were owned by Herman "Buster" Burris, who named the
  place for his father-in-law. Here's one of ol' Roy's
  personal recipes.
  
  Divide ground beef in two, shape into patties and throw
  it on the grill to desired taste. Just before it's
  ready, slap on the cheese. Dress up the bun with your
  condiments, then layer as follows:
  
  One patty with cheese, one onion slice, two slices of
  tomato, one leaf of lettuce, then repeat with one patty
  with cheese, one onion slice, two slices of tomato, one
  leaf of lettuce. Now add the top of the bun.
