Hey Patrick,

What is the proper term for those cross rails? I need to know what I'm talking about.

i dont know why I need to look at yours to decide, after your build- i will sail on your coattails

i will sail on your coattails

Don't do that, I tend to stumble a bit.

Nice RACK Ron

And here we sit, admiring pictures of Ron's rack....

 

[PabloCruise]

Ummm! I hate to be the 1 to say it. We need more..... up close pics of
Ron's extra large rack! DD world rack!

But seriously, we need more pics.

And here we sit, waiting for more pictures of Ron's rack...

Thanks for the great comments Ron! I am even more privileged to know you and make this happen. It's not about money, they print that sh*t every day! Living vicariously through you while you make the trip happen does it for me. My pig NEVER refuses to run when asked. I so wish I was going. Have an awesome trip and and enjoy!

Amybe we could organize a future Pig Party in N Michigan? Those lake pictures you posted a while back were amazing... As a water creature, I was drooling!

I'm NOT running around the front field naked, like some we know......

 

[bobm]

But you have!! Haven't you

 

[scrapdaddy]

Well, maybe a few times.

 

[scrapdaddy]

Packed and heading out! I'm betting Deo will pass us somewhere in Ne.

 

[Lifelong40Fan]

Have a safe trip. Remember that you're not going to bore us with lots of pics. There's several of us wishing we were caravanning along. Convoy! Probably best not to get that going again! Have fun!

 

[Ol Yeller]

^^ yup!

Hello Madda, Hello Fadda.....here we are in Camp Granada....

Sitting in a state park in Wyoming with the wind blowing and a little rain. The 55 ran perfect all day and I got to admit I was rolling at 80 most of the day. We have some tire shimmy at that speed , but not bad. New tires are in the works. Looking forward to tomorrow going across the state and a slower pace.

If Deo keeps shopping, he'll never catch us.

Last note....the wifi hotspot had a melt down today and the battery swelled up, so not sure if it will last. Talk at you tomorrow.

How was the first stretch with the roof rack and gear? Do you notice the extra weight up there?

Silly boy. The wind always blows in Wyoming. The only variable is velocity.

Pablo, we were between Cheyenne and Laramie at Curt Gowdy state park.

Rush, I couldn't tell anything was up there. The wagon is running so good that I've felt confident enough to be running 80 all day again today. Mrs. Scraps keeps putting in good tapes, Bob Seeger, Poco, even a little Temptations to keep us rocking down the road. My throat is sore from singing.

EDIT....Sorry Rush, no Rush tapes.

We stopped in Ogden, Utah at a motel for the night. I need to pick up a new camp stove as my old Coleman crapped the bed again and I'm tired of working on it. Meeting up with Jim and Bonnie here for diner and we'll head up to J Mack's together. Green wagons stick together.

Get us some video footage of those 80+MPH runs down the highway!

Right, I barely know how to use my new flip phone. I'll have to call my daughter in Mo. and have her fly out to do that.
