HDT Members On The Road, Including Their Current Locations

Can you still overnight in the Cabellas lot?

There are signs that say not to but people do it every night. Cabela's does not care (last time I asked the management). It was the city that put up the signs and make a law.

The issue was truckers starting to use the parking lot as a drop off or storage for trailers for days/weeks at a time.

 

Just weighed a Motorhome a few days ago who stayed overnight with no issues. Just about every day I wake up to go get breakfast at Dan's there are folks (RVs and Trucks) there overnighting or parked all around the Cabela's parking lots.

If you're so inclined, we are (just now) safely ensconced in (sunny) valley of the Sun (east Mesa, AZ),,, our winter haven; 75' covered RV parking next to the house, full hookups for properly equipped full-timers.

 

Here for 3 mos (sq/round dancing & MLB spring training), holler if you get close (en route to North Ranch, or Q, or whatever!).

P.p.s. FWIW, the b.s. I've had dealing with lost pads & broken calipers (no thanks to Kodiak!), we coulda had about 10k more dollars over the years -- disc brakes are huge over-kill with HDT toter, and potentially high maintenance (what with pads, calipers & rotors); I do love the BlueDot affect -- it's amazing to feel all 14 wheels grab at the same time, just not necessary if driving an HDT -- plain old electric brake drums, properly & cheaply maintained, woulda been just fine!@!

We are down for the night at a Casino at Exit 92 in LA. Frog Leap, the RV park here that we have stayed in many times before did not "have space" once they found out we were a semi. Even though they DID have space moments before (on the phone call). So we are just boodocking in the back of the Casino. Way cheaper, anyway. Tomorrow we will arrive at Lake Conroe KOA for a week. We generally avoid KOA's but since Roger and Deb live there, we will make an exception :)

We'll be at North Ranch through March & into April (that's the plan, anyway!) depending on weather here & weather/fishing conditions at Lake Texoma. Don/Fannie -- if you ever get the urge to take a drive out of the city, give us a call. Would be nice to see you both. It's virtually impossible to get Dave further into Phoenix than the Surprise/Glendale/Peoria area.

No we came back on I-40, wind was the issue the whole trip. Then ran into the fires in Kansas. Hutchinson was very smokey with some lite ash falling.

Working our way back North. Cranbrook, BC tonight, then Red Deer, AB for the weekend. Visit with middle son.

I have been wrong before, I'll probably be wrong again.

Finally made it to just south of Chattanooga. Stopping for the night at an I 75 rest area. Plan to leave early, stop and have breakfast before getting to the ECR by 9 am. Traffic was a bear on all of I 75. Hope it's better on the trip back.
