thank you very much. I did. Still nothing, nothing held in memory. Won't paste anywhere, nothing in downloads, zippo.
It simply is not capturing. Now what?

On my HP computer. To get the prt sc key to work I need to press and hold the fn key. Then print screen works with the ctrl and alt keys.

If you have no special reason to travel to Memphis from Nashville. Consider taking the Natchez Trace. Just west of Nashville. Great drive in a National Park. 50 mph with no trucks and a park like drive.

Ron, great idea. I have had numerous people recommend the Natchez trace Drive, and I have a book on great scenic drives in United States and the Natchez trace is highlighted. 50 mi./h and no trucks sounds like a marvelous drive for a motor home. I wonder if I could get 10 miles per gallon at that speed?

I use it on our trip south. It cuts the trip about 45 miles. This is where fuel saving comes in. North end is a little hilly. But very scenic. Bottom end gets flat. There are pull outs for viewing all along the Trace. Some RV parks with no hookups in park. Tupelo has a couple of full hook up parks. I always fill with fuel before getting on Trace. Then refuel in Shreveport, LA.

Back in 1978, right out of High School, I took most of my life savings and flew from San Francisco to Charlottesville Virginia to buy a 1968 Z-28 Camaro with 32,000 miles.

Drove cross country stopping to see things along the way starting with the Air and Space Museum and hitting National Parks...

It was one of those once in a lifetime trips... only thing I missed was no AC in July!

Sadly, I needed money for college and ended up selling... the guy that bought it flew out from the East Coast and drove it back!!!

This thread has me thinking about doing it again.

I second Natchez Trace! I love that road, very peaceful and relaxing drive. And you can see many places where the original Trace was. Very historic. I think it was where the buffalo traveled, then people. Tupelo has a great car museum. If you get to Natchez, MS, you MUST eat at Sandbar restaurant. It's actually in Vidalia, LA, just across the Mississippi River bridge on right hand side. Looking forward to photos daug!
