We are stuck in Stockton Ca due to Truck breakdown(Work Truck- Thank God). US Express is providing a decent motel, Calif is providing some nice weather, I provide a nice jug of Early Times Life is good. Truck needs a air to air and radiator about $4000 in parts so says the shop. Looks like we will be here till late Friday mabye the weekend. Sure wish we would have known it would be this long we would have stayed up in Oregon at the WCR for HDT's.

Knoxville tonight, Chattanooga Monday, then start "working" my way west for the WCR if all

works out.

Good one Jon

Denver tonight, headed to Hurricane, UT in the morning, I have to be there Monday morning so I may have to find someplace to loaf along the way

I am in Cheyenne WY headed for Ontario CA by Monday. I hope to overnight in Vegas Saturday. I will give you a call Jim, maybe we can have coffee.

We are in Eufaula, OK for a couple of more days then back to MN till at least Feb.

Don't think we will make it to San Antonio Henry - just to far for a couple of days and we must be back in MN by 11/26.

Hey Henry/Cindy we are headed south on I35 currently in Iowa wanna to Thanksgiving in TX somewhere ?

Beets are done , heading south tomorrow stopping in Mineapolis for a week or so then to Kansas for a couple of days, on to OK, then Texas for Thanksgiving.

I'm ready for some warm weather .

That would most likely be Milford Lake Jack, lots of nice COE camping.

A interesting tidbit for the HDTers here is the President of New Horizens used to be in charge of truck leasing for a regional steel company that a few of us got our trucks from.... small world.

No problem Chuck, we should be in MN by Sunday should I give you a call when we arrive

Jim/Val we will give you a call when we get there. 30 amp ? - no problem I have been running off battaries a winter

Evanston Wyoming only for the night, then to the Snowy Range for a couple of days. Hope to make the Black Hil for a day or two, maybe I get in on a short fishing trip. Then on to MN have to be there by 6/5.

Its been a great 6 months on the road.

Chuck, is that princess home yet ?

We are in Susanville CA for the night then headed down to Yerington NV to visit with wome friends for a few days. Anyone plan on being on the in NV, CO, KS in the new couple of weeks ?

Reno Boomtown 5/3 and 5/4

Amazing how this $3.25 fuel doesn't last any longer than the $2.25 fuel last year did

We arrived at the Escapade this afternoon and were selected out of the parking line to take a left at the corner to be parked out of the wet ground due to our size.

What a suprize to end up parked in front of BOBT, two spots right of Mark P(from FL), at little in front of Gary(freightshaker), and just to the left of Larry L(spaced out black 660) - sorry for any mispellings guys.

This community of HDT's is in the Northern parking area also known as White lot (D) if your in the area stop by and say high.

Happy hour at 4 everyday.

Hey Mike you willing to share some walleye hideouts with a fellow HDT er

We at at the off road area at Ocotillo Wells, CA(70000 acres of off road fun). Plan on heading over to the coast about 4/5 or 4/6, then heading north to Chico.

Ron, sorry to hear the surgery didn't go perfect the first time, hopefully it did the second time. You both will be in our thoughts and prayers.

We are back in Yuma on a private RV lot in the Foothills area. We plan on being here until 3/25 then heading over to Cardiff by the Sea CA for a couple of days then heading north bummin around until the Escapade.

Might be interested in the scooters (always looking for a new toy) - email info to me bspeckman@escapees.com

We are now in YUMA dry camping at the BLM land just north of the VFW on 95 north of the Foothills. Padrick, WHYW8, and I are solving all the world's problems around the campfire.

Hope to be here for about a week.

Great pictures Padrick. My thanks to you and Bill Ramsey for getting everyone together.

We are finally in Quartzsite. We have already ran into HDT Friends Bill R, Tom S, Padric, and Steve O.

We are currently located in the Scaddan Wash Area.

Coming from Yuma on 95 turn right (east) on Kuehn Road and go east till the church on the Northeast corner of Riggles and Kuehn. Continue east 1.2 miles to the Scaddan Wash 14 day area. You will see a yellow hat on the bushes on you right side just past the SCADDAN WASH SIGN turn right (south) and follow yellow hats or green worm signs 1/2 mile we are on the right - hard to miss red trucks in the desert.

If coming from the East exit at the first Quartzsite exit (Exit 19) turn left(south) at the top of the ramp and continue to the T i(stop sign) at corner of Kuehn and Riggles. Turn left and continue east 1.2 miles to the Scaddan Wash 14 day area. You will see a yellow hat on the bushes on you right side just past the SCADDAN WASH SIGN turn right (south) and follow yellow hats or green worm signs 1/2 mile we are on the right - hard to miss red trucks in the desert.

GPS Location is N 33 39.712 W 114.10.989.

We are in Deming NM. at the SKP Park. Someone in a White 610 with Flordia tags was at the park but I never got a chance to HI before they left - so Hi who ever you are. We will be here for a few days before heading to Yuma then Quartzsite.

If in the area stop by for a cup or a cold one.

We finally got out nof Minnesota and are at

Lewisville Texas: Lewisville Lake Park Campground,will be here till 1/2/2006 then head south to San Antonio then west to Qsite getting there some time mid January.

Happy New Year to everyone

Your absolutly right Jack, South not North should be my direction this time of year. We have headed South 3 times already. Once in August ended up having ECM problems and had to cancel needed trailer repair and head back to MN, once in October got as far south as Wichita before heading back to Indiana to get trailer repairs done, and this time (Nov) to KC for Thanksgiving and back to Indiana to get trailer repaired again.

Unfortunaly we will have to go back to MN as our daughter is having surgery 12/8 and if all goes well we will be out of there before XMAS.

See ya in the desert.

We are in KC for Thanksgiving then back to Indiana to get more work done on the trailer.

We are back in MN for a week or so for medical checks then headed south with stops planned in MO and KS to visit relatives. Then on to Quartzsite. The first snow is forecast for this weekend - I got to get outta here soon.
