HDT Members On The Road, Including Their Current Locations

[smokeyjo]

We had dinner on Tuesday night with Robb and Carol Isaacs. Had a very nice evening. They are in Goshen having work done on their Montana and we are sitting at the Mor/Ryde factory in Elkhart waiting for the second day to get a return call from Teton to see if they are going to pay for replacing the wrong axles they installed on our Teton when it was built. Getting real frustrating.

[Pam Ridgely]

We are in MD. now visiting our son in Hagerstown.

 

BTW, Teton came thru and paid for the axels.

75.6 degrees.

Hell the heat index yesterday here in N O was 122 degrees.

75 degrees is like a cool fall day here.

We were lucky today it was only 106 degrees.

 

August in N O is ALLWAYS on the warm side.

[garlic]

Dave, will you be staying at the KOA or dry camping in the field, south of the auction?

 

Let me know when you get there, my wife and I would like to look over your HDT. We live the next exit south on I69.

[OLDphoneman]

Hello Dick --

 

GREAT -- Do stop by ..

 

No -- They didn't have any room -- So I called and got a reservation at Indian Springs -- Know anything about them ??

 

I arrive 8/24 -- From 8/27 - 9/4 I'll be at the Auction.

 

And -- If you've any Pull .. I prefer the temps in the Hi 50's -- Any hotter and I'm a bit sluggish .. .. Did I mention it's HOT here .. ..

 

See ya down the road ......

 

Dave

[Lee Jacobs]

Dave, aren't you from somewhere on the Oregon Coast? I'm kinda partial to cool summer weather, too, and start to melt when the mercury tops 72F.

 

Stay cool! Lee

[OLDphoneman]

Hi Lee -- --

 

Yes .. I've a house in Florence.

 

I just finished 10 weeks dry camping at Winchester Bay. I'm starting to question my sanity - As to why I left ..

 

Maybe I'll loose some weight on this trip .. .. Naw -- Won't hold my breath on that .. ..

 

1st time I've camped at a racing event -- Would this make a GREAT spot for a Rally .. ..

 

You just can't imagine all the steaks on the BBQ here tonight -- Man .. What smells .. ..

 

Gotta GO >>> >> > .

Dave, I am not familar with Indian Spring but Sue used to live in the area and says the last she heard (about 20 years ago) it was mostly motor homes and trailers, staying there permanently. Again, that was 20 years ago. They have spent a lot of money on a web page and cannot be that close to the big auction, to let it be run down. This area is not noted for its campgrounds.

 

I'm betting you have been there before. If so do you remember the field, used as a parking lot, that is south, across the road, from the auction. I have seen campers in there, during the auction.

 

The weather will be dry or wet or both. Either way, it will be hot.

 

Our mosquitos are first cousins to the B24s they fly in Michigan. Bring your antiaircraft guns.

[Pam Ridgely]

We are back in Elkhart, IN until the Escapade. While sitting in line at a McD.'s to get a quick lunch we saw this good lookin Pete drive in. It was Anne and Gene, so whipped out of drive thru and in with them for a little while.

 

They are visiting the Travel Supreme factory.

[OLDphoneman]

Had a GREAT time at the Hot Rod Nationals .. Lost WiFi though as the place started to fill up.. ..

 

Worst construction to date -- I-84E at Ogden,UT. Now -- That SUCKED .. ..

 

Talking about road construction -- Several places on I-80 .. And I get a tickle with the speed signs .. .. In Black/Orange lettering it says "Slow Down" -- Then underneath is the speed -- 65 Miles Per Hour. Yea -- Right .. Even on my best day - Going downhill I don't go THAT Fast .. ..

 

Pulled into Davenport, IA this morning -- Got a site at Interstate RV Park .. ..

 

 

Having a hard time coping -- It's HOT and HUMID in these parts. Last night it was 102 when I went to bed - Had both air's on in the Truck and woke up around midnight and all the windows were sweating on the OUTSIDE -- It was so humid out.

 

And - There is NO restaurant within walking distance from this park. With this Heat/Humidity and NO food -- I might loose some weight .. .. FAT Chance ..

 

So much for washing/waxing the Rig before I left -- Got to go find a Truck Wash that hand washes .. ..

 

I'll be here a couple of days - I see that the Nascar Race has been postponed -- Great .. I'll catch it tomorrow -- Maybe I can call out for a Pizza .. ..

 

Played tag with Lonesome Dove -- Only got a chance to introduce myself at Cabella's RV Park -- Lost you today on the road .. Hope all is well and you got your problem fixed.

 

Traveled 2192 miles (ECM) or 2209 miles (GPS) and am averaging 9.86 MPG (ECM) -- Including ideling time -- I won't be without my AC .. ..

Dave, good to hear from you. After we hung up, I turned on the TV and discovered we are under a flood watch. Nothing to worry about, I think the weather boys are just bored.

 

Most of the time you will be here, the temps should be about 20 degrees cooler than where you are at now.

 

Pam, run up to I80 and flag him down. He will be coming by you Thursday or Friday.

Super time by all !!!!

Anybody else in the area,,,come on out!!

[Pam Ridgely]

Oldphoneman pulled into Elkhart campground this AM. Had a really nice visit, went out to dinner. Has me convinced that we REALLY need to hit the west coast HDT rally next year.

 

I think he is really suffering from the heat and humidity. Just checked weatherbug, it's 88 degrees with a heat index of 96 and humidity of 68% at 7:19pm. It was well over 100 earlier. This humidity stinks!!!

[garlic]

Good to hear Oldphoneman got thru Chicago safely, and a day early. I'm waiting for his call tomorrow.

 

Almost bought a '69 Volvo today. $25,000 and 57,000 miles. Needs 2 new tires.

 

See you tomorrow, Oldphoneman. Pam, follow him over.
