kingskids Posted October 16, 2012 Report Share Posted October 16, 2012 We just stopped at the rest area in Spacecraft's back yard today. Never knew where they were, and after the pit stop, just before we pull out, I look up and there they are! Before last year's rally, I had never heard of them before. Hope they get everything "tuned up" wonderfully for you. They build a nice rig.  Safe travels to all...

They are ready for us with parts in stock (both the ones they make & those they out-source) so it should be quick & easy.

HERO Maker Posted October 20, 2012 Report Share Posted October 20, 2012 Sharon with Kingskids,  That's funny! When we pulled into Space Craft's driveway, we noticed the RV park just behind the shops and thought "how nice". Then we noticed it was the rest stop.

HERO Maker Posted October 20, 2012 Report Share Posted October 20, 2012 (edited) Bruce and Sharon,  We were just at Space Craft yesterday after being there a couple of days and hoping we'd see you pull in and get a chance to chat. But some other HDT was pulling in just as we were pulling out. They were coming in on the east side of the front building as we were swinging out on the west side of the building! But it wasn't you!  Maybe we will see you at next year's rally or somewhere else down the road. Be safe.  Now we are at Rutlader Outpost RV Park, south of Louisburg, KS. waiting for our Ballots to get here.

kingskids Posted October 20, 2012 Report Share Posted October 20, 2012 (edited) Sheri, why were you guys at Spacecraft? Funny - I never knew anything about them, then all of a sudden after the first presentation I heard from them, I end up in their back yard about the same time as several from the HDT group...  Drive safe everyone!

Jack Mayer Posted October 21, 2012 Report Share Posted October 21, 2012 We are in Junction City, KS at the New Horizons factory having some minor fixes done. We are also having basebords and chair rail added to the coach (done), and are considering some panels in the "wainscoting" area.....that remains to be decided.  Roger and Debbie Rauch are here, as are Bonnie and Gail Quinn. We had two smokers going a few days ago and had smoked turkey and brisket. Corams left on Saturday. Craig and Lydia are here as well. The parking lot was/is full of HDTs.....

kingskids Posted October 22, 2012 Report Share Posted October 22, 2012 Hey Jim, we're talking about a possible west coast spring "rally" or "get together" (separate thread) - and Pahrump has been mentioned a time or two. Any chance you could scope it out with the possibility of a place big enough with some sort of meeting room for our functions?

Jack Mayer Posted October 23, 2012 Report Share Posted October 23, 2012 Jim, we looked at that resort when they were selling lots. Originally they would only allow motorhomes, but they opened it up to trailers. Originally they also had VERY narrow lots. But I saw they combined some together. We have not been there for at least 4 years - but it is a very nice place. Quote Jack & Danielle Mayer #60376 Lifetime Member Living on the road since 2000PLEASE no PM's.

Jim Gehlen Posted October 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2012 (edited) Pulled into Emerald Cove by Parker AZ after a 2200 run from Rapid City down thru CA and will be here until about April 1 +/- a few days either way. Had a bout with California rough roads, they should be ashamed of their state. Don't have to go back there for a few years. Ran ahead of the rain leaving the coast. Sure is getting nasty up north weather wise. Â If you are on Parker Dam Road in this area, look for the truck.
