We should arrive on Saturday April 22. We still have some appointments next week here at home, hoping to load the smart Tuesday, hook up the trailer Wednesday and load the van in the trailer on Thursday. A lot of that depends on the weather and is subject to modifications. We will leave Friday and spend the night at a Harvest Host on the SC/NC border. Looking forward to seeing everyone at the ECR. It will be the start of a 4 month long trip for us part timers.

Sculptor Posted April 15, 2022 Report Share Posted April 15, 2022 7 hours ago, Chad Heiser said: As I mentioned in my solar thread, I am having RR install an RV Flex Armor roof on my 5th wheel. It was prepped over the last two days and primed this evening (Thursday). The actual roofing material will be applied first thing in the morning and once that has dried, all the stuff on the roof will get reassembled. I hope to have it back tomorrow evening. I am really pleased with the work so far and am looking forward to never having to deal with my roof again. With all the various solar configurations and component movement I have done to my RV roof over the last five years, I figure I have added over 200 additional penetrations above and beyond what the factory did. So far I have had no issues with it, but now it will be guaranteed for life. I will show it off at the ECR starting the end of next week. They told me the story about a hail storm that left no evidence. I was impressed.

rickeieio Posted September 16, 2022 Report Share Posted September 16, 2022 We're in Parkers Crossroads, Tn, where we had a new gray tank installed. In the morning, we'll head for Rogers, AR to attend a wedding, then take our time to arrive in Albuquerque, NM to "volunteer" at the Balloon Fiesta on 9/25. That'll end 10/9, so then we head towards the HDT National to catch up with friends. We'll miss the first few days, but still be able to see a bunch of folks.

Sculptor Posted September 16, 2022 Report Share Posted September 16, 2022 We left Great Falls, MT September 6, stopped in Livingston for a few nights, then moved over to Bozeman for one night. Stopped for one night in West Yellowstone visiting friends and sharing pizza. We continued south to Montpelier and stayed one night at a little park called Rendezvous Village. We drove through Bear Lake, ID and cut through Wyoming to Little America for fuel. The cheapest per gallon that I have seen since spring. Continued east on I80 to 191, then turned south, east of Flaming Gorge. There are many grades, twists and turns But the views were spectacular. We landed in Vernal, UT for a few nights. We were going to stay long enough to see the Dinosaur Quarry but there are many dinosaur fossil related sights here, and we needed the rest. We are staying at Fossil Valley RV Park, which I can recommend for longer rigs. I saw a couple of Fullhouses and a New Horizons here, just not sure what was pulling them. The owner says he has a friend who comes every year with a long HDT full of toys.

Chad Heiser Posted September 16, 2022 Report Share Posted September 16, 2022 We’re in Flagstaff, Arizona at a Luxe rally. There are several other HDTers here and we are having a nice time even though we have an SOB trailer. We head home from here for a few days and then head out to the coast north of Fort Bragg, California for a couple of weeks.

rickeieio Posted November 2, 2022 Report Share Posted November 2, 2022 Arrived in Grenada, MS yesterday at a VERY nice COE campground. Huge sites, concrete pads, overlooking a lake. And the best part is that 4 other hdt couples are here too. It looks to be a week long tech session, with plenty of food and lies at the end of each day. I'll try to keep up........

lappir Posted November 8, 2022 Report Share Posted November 8, 2022 Sitting at a "crossroads" so to speak. Actually at Spacecraft in Concordia, MO. Left Iowa after a summer of working at the younger brothers Tire Shop and a month ago accepted a contract in Lawton, OK. Told everyone to get all their ducks in a row and make sure I wouldn't have to do anything the last two weeks before departure, but here I am waiting to see if I can actually start on the 10th. Yep, two days away. Lucky for me I have another job that really wants me to return for at least 4 weeks and it's actually closer to Concordia so less fuel to get there. Fill up in Mercer, MO. Sunday at $4.599 which was much better than the $5.399 or $5.059 I saw before getting there. It's on my way to Concordia from "home" and I've been stopping so often I don't even have to go in to have them turn on the pump. So today they should finish the project and I'll either head east or west on I 70 depending on what I find out by noon today. I had planned to wake up early to see the Lunar Eclipse, but didn't. Wouldn't have saw anything because it was overcast when I did wake up. Anyone have a good cloudless sky?

It was 52* so comfortable to sit back in our chairs and enjoy the night sky. Unfortunately, this park has plenty of night lights, so ambient light was annoying. That said, it was a pretty cool show.

Chad Heiser Posted January 21, 2023 Report Share Posted January 21, 2023 We are all packed up and ready to head out to the Quartzsite area in the morning. We should arrive Sunday evening some time and plan to stay for a month or so. We'll be hanging out with a bunch of other HDTers and some other friends. It has been a very hectic week getting ready to head out, but we are finally ready and are really looking forward to it.
