That's all your taking? Man you pack light!

Stoked for ya bro.

Don't sweat the outfit thing tho. Iowa ain't so bad. Besides, you're already sporting the most important part of your outfit: your infectious enthusiasm!

Heck, I wouldn't be surprised if you talked a couple of folks into convoying back to CA with you!

Travel safe amigo.

Just talked with Rob. He will be at my house in about 4-6 hours.

Truck is doing great and he is averaging about 50-55 mph. Not bad for a 40 year old rig!

I'm sure he will hop on line when he gets to my house. I have a nice Red Stripe waiting for him!

Best.

All's well in Edmond, Oklahoma

Rob made it to my place and was relaxing in the driveway in front of his 45 when I got there this evening. He drove through some heavy rain from TX panhandle to my place, and said he got showered every time the wipers came together! By morning his new "seal in a tube" will be cured enough to keep him dry for the remainder of the Roadtrip. We had a short but great visit since I was late getting home tonight. He said he would pull out for KS in the AM whenever he woke up- not sure of the time. What a great guy and rig! Best of luck with the trip Rob. Keep us posted mudders.

Dave R

Good Times

Thanks to everyone for posting my where abouts via phone messages, So far this trip has OUTSTANDING !!!!!! Yes I will be posting some pics but dont expect much , just think of driving a 45 / 57 mph in the rain holding a camera ( aint gonna happen ) I have taken some once I got to where I was going the big push was getting from state to state. So where do I begin I want to get into detail on each stop so that will have to wait. The people here on mud have been fanatstic each stop has been worth the trip I am in Osage City now and looking forward to relaxing the rest of the night , EVERYONE INVOLVED IN THIS THANK YOU and the 45 is running great More later

Brings back memories! Haha!

You just have to expand your understanding of what it means to be 'bonding' with your truck!
