Lights Posted April 5, 2016 Report Share Posted April 5, 2016 We are on the way from South TX and we have had great traveling weather. The last two days were right at 100 and we are trying to bring some on the warmth with us but we are losing temps every day as we travel northeast. We should be at Deer Run on Wednesday. Safe travels to all. 07 630 VNL Volvo 16 Smart Car 2017 DRV 40KSSB4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s106300 Posted April 5, 2016 Report Share Posted April 5, 2016 We are inbound today from Cookeville, TN after THOR and Freya finish getting spiffed up at S&S truck wash. We have been on the road for 10 straight days; sold our house and left sunny Southern California on March 27th. This will be our first HDT rally with our rig (we went to Kansas two years ago sans rig to see if we were cool with the whole HDT process; tried to go last year but our 5ver wasn't ready on time). Planning to get weighed, too. (The rig, not me, lol). Looking forward to meeting everyone! 2010 Volvo VNL 670 D13 500 HP Ishift - "THOR" 2016 DRV Elite Suites 38RSSA - "Freya" 2012 Smart For Two - "Loki" Ron & Shelley Johnston, pilots Toy, Nika, and Piranha, feline co-pilots and Demi-gods (at least if you ask them).

Phil D Posted April 5, 2016 Report Share Posted April 5, 2016 Planning to get weighed, too. (The rig, not me, lol). If he lets you climb into the rig while it's on the scales he can not only weigh both you and your rig, but he can tell you how much of you is on the front axle and how much is on the rear axle as you drive. Just sayin'. Phil 2002 Teton Royal Aspen 2003 Kenworth T2000 - Cat C12 380/430 1450/1650, FreedomLine, 3.36 - TOTO . . . he's not in Kansas anymore.

Neo/Russ Posted April 6, 2016 Report Share Posted April 6, 2016 Hi to all attending. I was fortunate to attend two of these a few years ago when I thought we were going to be full-timers. But heath and life hit and we have had to abandon the idea. Just last week I sold my Teton, I sold my smart last fall and still have a basket case truck for sale (hint hint) to someone with more ambition than money, but that's a separate story and I can be contacted privately about that. However I have several new in box items that I am or have listed on eBay that may be of interest to some of you. I have attached a list here and asked Carl to post a paper there that repeats it if you weren't online while going to the show. If enough people want things I can drive over 125mi ea way, otherwise we can use other methods and ship them to you, or if you're headed W across I-40 I can meet you in Nashville. Thanks for reading, Russ Barnes Bissell Little Green Deep Cleaner, NEW In Box , asking $100 great for spills and clean-up in RV’s Oxygenics Brushed Nickel Body Spa Handheld Kit, NEW, asking $30, great for RV or homes that want the stronger feel of a great show Bodyguard CUSTOM TRUCK Bug Deflector and Hood Protector; SMOKE, T2000, NEW Cost $305, asking $200, nicest looking one ever made and protects more hood.

I have sold some other things to other HDT Escapees members that I can bring to them and could bring some of these items to the Rally if we can pick the best day that week (any day but Tuesday the 12th). But only if enough sells to make sense to spend on gas getting there. Look over, call or email and I can send a photo, or you can look up on the Internet.

Jim & Wilma Posted April 7, 2016 Report Share Posted April 7, 2016 Stopped over at Walmart in Cartersville, GA. About 15 minutes after arriving, storm rolled through with enough hail to make me wonder about the the skylight. Good thing about storm is it chased away a lot of the "noise".
