Yes, Bob. But with a1-26, you don't get as much of it (distance), so
it seems almost "free"! And don't be calling them 1-26 drivers names
like that! :-)

Even in the days of cheap gas, every mile XC *I* earned in a 1-26 was
hard-earned...nothing free about 'em at all!

And Great Fun, too, it prolly goes without saying.

Bob I feel the same way about the miles I rack up in the Cherokee II.
Lots of work but lots of fun too.
