bmzero Posted October 9, 2015 Report Share Posted October 9, 2015 Just picked up my Dad in North Alabama. We're headed that way. He has to work next week, so we'll be leaving early Tuesday morning to head back. Looking forward to seeing everyone there.

Jim Gell Posted October 9, 2015 Report Share Posted October 9, 2015 Bill and Cec, we hope we didn't wake you at 7:45ish when we pulled out. We had a traffic warning on Garmin so we stopped at Iron Skillet not far down the road. Before we leave, I will check out Rockie's route on a map. We should reach Hutch early afternoon today. We are filthy. Thinking about that truck wash south side of Hutch. The Blue Beacon East of the ECR took a section of clear coat off the back of our trailer. Any advice? Hate to be the only dirty rig there, but don't want to damage paint either. I also have projects I need help with and don't want to spend precious rally time washing by hand.

alan0043 Posted October 9, 2015 Report Share Posted October 9, 2015 JC and Angie, on 02 Oct 2015 - 11:16 AM, said: Well gang.Got the truck back and made it to Ohio. Going to rock and roll HOF and the football HOF. Then to forks on Monday. Kinda have a long list of small things that need to be done. The most time consuming thing is paint up dates. I had a a couple "new driver " moments. That front end gets lost when backing up..!!So not sure I'm going to make this major rally. Really was hoping to make it. You all will have a good time with or without us I'm sure.Weather turned cold and wet. Time to get south ASAP.JC JC, What day are you planning on being at the Football Hall of Fame ? I live in Canton, Ohio. Could do a meet up if your schedule works out for it. Al JC, I hope you enjoyed your time in Ohio. Maybe some day we can meet up.

Jim Gell Posted October 9, 2015 Report Share Posted October 9, 2015 We are sorry you won't make the rally, JC and Angie. Rocky and Bill, our Garmin has us taking I 35 to US 50 in Emporia as the default. GPS says 1:24 pm arrival, but with a wash? And lunch, it will be later.

Jim Gell Posted October 10, 2015 Report Share Posted October 10, 2015 Steve, at 7 am today there were a few folks up walking around to chat with. By 9 am there were quite a few. Since then, there has been a constant circulation of HDTrs through the camp area visiting and helping each other with projects.

mr. cob Posted October 11, 2015 Report Share Posted October 11, 2015 Howdy All, Just wanted to thank Brad for doing about 98% of the cruise control installation on my Smart Car, it works great. I don't know why I didn't take some photos of the install, I usually take photos of interesting things that happen on my trips maybe tomorrow we can stage a few photos so I can add them to the gallery I'll be making to document this trip.

HERO Maker Posted October 11, 2015 Report Share Posted October 11, 2015 Mr. Brad actually installed 2 of the cruise controls today with mine being the 2nd one. Huge thanks for a job well done! It was most certainly going to be a tight fit for me, at the moment to get down there and take care of it. Glad he took care of it.

bmzero Posted October 14, 2015 Report Share Posted October 14, 2015 Unfortunately, I had to bail early to get my Dad back home so he could go back to working for "the man".
