Any route suggestions for Minneapolis to Phoenix? (Late January)

RJ, diesel was $4.98 a gallon on Molokai last year.....i doubt if it has gone down much if at all.  Last time i checked it was still part of the US.    

Yeah, but it's so much work to burn any fuel as it's only 25 miles end to end and some of the roads are hardly bus friendly. lol

I'd much rather pay 5 bucks there than three and a half here in CA.

Yah, but a gallon of milk was $9.00

The electrician helping me with my solar system convinced me that the type of solar ground mount I wanted to pick up in Phoenix won't work well with our frost.  He recommended a different type of mounting system sold by a guy with a warehouse right here in Minneapolis.  It uses helical screw anchors and I was able to install it last Friday even with some frost in the ground.  Cost was probably $500 more installed than the Phoenix system would have cost installed, but I believe I got a stronger better ground mount.

The bottom line is I am not going to be stopping in Phoenix this spring/summer.  I am still planning to take the bus out to California in May.
