Sorry you weren't able to make it, but can you send Jen anyway?? 😂

Well, I officially out for making it to SAS. We are very bummed out, and tried to make it a go up til the last minute but I just can't get away from work long enough. Right now a day here or there is fine, but a week is a no-go. I hope you...

To every one in attendance have fun, be safe, keep the rubber side down, and for all that is holy take some pictures so those of us NOT in attendance can live vicariously through your adventures

Finally en route should be in late tonight in a 80 this year and not my pig. 😔 80 is for sale if anyone wants it. I can get a rental or fly home. 😂🙏🤙🤘 Looking forward to seeing everyone. Cheers! -Joe...

Finally got on i70 - just westbound west of grand junction - fun little Moab stop first 😈

6:30 am, heading in to Ridgeway (population around 750) to see if we can find some brushes that we can sand down to a proper fit for the blower motor. If so, this should get it working again. Will report back.👍🤞👍

That’s a great addition to camp, much appreciated!

FYI I have packed a 120/240 welder if anyone breaks something on the trail. I’ve got 12-50 plug too.

Oops, try to find some brushes that work and a soldering iron. And then we’ll see if that solves our problem. Will let you guys know tomorrow if we get it fixed. I think we are on the right track.

Thanks @OSS did that to the circuit breaker & no luck. @duncanrm dropped the motor & the brushes are done for. Going in to town tomorrow & try to find some brushes that will work

Hey, just getting into Gunnison. About a half hour back on 50 there was a bad wreck. Lots of emergency vehicles. It may get pretty backed up. Just a heads up for those coming through if you get slowed down, that’s what’s going on.

Compressor has cold air when you open it to ‘VENT’ but when you slide to recirculate the fan does not go on. It’s not the fuse, maybe the circuit breaker or the fan motor itself?? Any thoughts? Currently on the road to SAS9.

Not bad for an amateur...

Picked up my kids from the camp in Estes. My oldest got a little time driving the 74. I’m shuttling kids to Boulder and then heading to Ouray.

Hey Guys! I need your help spreading a message from the KOA: No early check-ins today, Sunday!! Checkin should be after 3:00 as they are short staffed today. There are only two guys cleaning the sites today. They have a lot of check outs...

Andy! Just recognized the truck. A couple years ago a small group of us ran into you at a random gas station in Texas and you joined us for lunch and the ride up to Colorado. Cool you’re making it to the meet this year. Such a awesome rig!

6:00 am Departure Fort Worth. Made it to Chama NM about 9:00 pm

Camped at the foot of Cinammon Pass with a little reception tonight. If anyone’s in Lake City tonight and wants to run Cinnamon/California/Corkscrew on the way to the KOA tomorrow, holler at me. Beautiful day today, 9 hours on the trail in some...

Done sewing in the parking lot. Will it hold? Stay tuned.

Made my 1st stop. Camping 🏕 at Kaibab Lake Campground tonight. Back on the road in the AM. Looking to be a little shorter drive tomorrow.

Off @ 5am, made it from the Eastern Sierra to Salina, Ut. Dinner @ Mom’s Cafe. Highly recommended.🍽️👍. See everyone tomorrow.🍺🏕️🍺

Attention all. Along 24 between Liman and Colorado Springs they are having a local police fundraiser signs aren’t exactly easy to see. Pay attention. $200 ticket for 10 over. Ask Karl how we know.

Driving on 40 headed towards Colorado Springs

Will Kansas hurry up and get behind us please?!
