Thanks for your input Chris. Most I have seen are routed to the little area behind the small grill where the tow hitch is. This allows it to be hidden except during the the winter when it can be dangled outside for more convenience. My main concern is inbetween there and the block. I have just discovered that I can probably reach the plug from above by laying over the engine from the front and reaching down and around with my left hand. So I will probably rout the cord to the side wall and along there foreward until I can duck it into the area around the bumper grill where it will emerge.
Thanks all for your input.
