lappir Posted November 12, 2013 Report Share Posted November 12, 2013 Parked in Shueyville, Iowa (just south of Cedar Rapids) until Mid December. Had to drive through snow today to get there. My nice bright shiny new trailer is no longer. It is covered with mud Ice and Snow. Hope it warms up enough in the next few days that I can wash it.

Barncats Posted November 16, 2013 Report Share Posted November 16, 2013 Pulled into Christmas Florida a few days ago. Will be set up here for the winter (unless jello plans change) I'm in the still working dept. so will be bouncing back and forth to the great white (cold) north off and on throughout the winter. Hoping that from here we will make it to the ECR in April (fingers crossed)  Cheers!

lappir Posted November 22, 2013 Report Share Posted November 22, 2013 Chip and Ruth,  Check the Walls up post. there should be a link to some photos there. If you don't find it PM me and I will send you a link.  . I am back at Space Craft for some things. Staying in the colder temperatures than they expected. Glad I found out now and not in a few years when I may stay North in the snow over a winter to see if I really still miss it. Jack and Danielle came by to take a look and Roger and Debbie plan to see it too. Hope I am still here to show it off, but plan to leave it and head back North until after Thanksgiving. It's supposed to be 5 in Cedar Rapids Saturday so I don't think the truck and trailer will miss being exposed to those conditions. Concordia is forecast to remain in the teens.  Rod Quote White 2000/2010Volvo VNL 770 with 7' Drom box with opposing doors, JOST slider hitch. 600 HP Cummins Signature 18 Speed three pedal auto shift. 1999 Isuzu VehiCross retired to a sticks and bricks garage.

lappir Posted December 15, 2013 Report Share Posted December 15, 2013 (edited) The trip South started this morning. Following the snow storm heading to the Northeast. All roads fine in Iowa but as soon as I crossed into Missouri they were 70% snow packed. Pulled off at the Flying J truck stop at Wayland and had brunch, filled a propane tank and messed around until I thought enough time had passed to have the melting to take place. Timing was pretty good. Not sure, but I think maybe the Flying J paid the state to not put a melting agent on the road for 10 miles around their truck stop. Funny how the road was completely clear in Iowa and then 10 miles down the road from the Truck Stop it got clear again.  Found a good Campground for a stop. WIll take photos tomorrow and ask if I can list them for the HDT Campground site. It's Whittington Woods at Benton Whittington, IL phone 618-435-3401 and open even in December.  Rod  Should have checked the Guide before. It's already in there.  rod Edited December 15, 2013 by 1Rod Quote White 2000/2010Volvo VNL 770 with 7' Drom box with opposing doors, JOST slider hitch. 600 HP Cummins Signature 18 Speed three pedal auto shift. 1999 Isuzu VehiCross retired to a sticks and bricks garage.

BandBuds Posted December 16, 2013 Report Share Posted December 16, 2013 Continuing our southern migration and are now in Savannah, GA at the Hunter Army Airfield FamCamp for about 10 days. Had a ball in the Charlotte area. Enjoyed a nice German meal, some good smoked turkey and a nice Mexican buffet. Went to the NASCAR Hall of Fame, and drove a "race car" on Charlotte Motor Speedway through the Mario Andretti Racing Experience. It was a HOOT!

Not much in the fridge anyway, and have gotten to above 45 for the outside temperatures.  Sitting in the First Rest stop in Florida on I-75, Trying to decide if Ga fuel is cheaper then Fl.

It was the last stop on US 50 to get the stamp to prove we'd done the Lonliest Road in America. Except we didn't just do the Nevada section, we did Ocean City, MD to the Pacific Ocean.  You're right.

Looking forward to seeing you guys again. Â We will probably get to the fairgrounds on the 14th and spend the night in the parking area. We will move into the RV section on the morning of the 15th as soon as they open up. Charlie will be with us in "Towmater" so you guys will get to meet for the first time.
