Traveling south at a slow rate (just 29 days to make it) so if I see ya on the road give a flash of the lights. Happy trails.

Bob86ZZ4 Posted August 31, 2011 Report Share Posted August 31, 2011 Bruce and Sharon, you should call me when you're coming through the St. Paul/Mpls. area. If you're going to park somewhere around here I'd love to come by and visit. I live right in the heart of St. Paul so the only place I have to offer is parking on the street in front of my house but you're welcome to do that if you want. It's legal for 48 hours. We're only about 10 minutes from the Mall of America in case you were thinking about stopping there. They have a huge lot with tons of room for rv's there too. Â Â Mike, that goes for you too. I don't know if you plan to drive through the cities from Walker to Gordon. Quote '03 United Specialties truck conversion, Freightliner FL112, Cat C12, 10 sp Autoshift, 295" w/b, 26' living quarters.

Bob86ZZ4 Posted August 31, 2011 Report Share Posted August 31, 2011 Oh no, I just googled it and it looks like you'll go across to Duluth and then over into WI. If you come through St. Paul afterwards give me a call. I'll pm you and Bruce my number.

Came through ST Paul this morning, I tend to never stop in cities being raised in a rural environment. Sorry did not get in touch, having a nice afternoon in Clear Lake Iowa today and on to northern Missouri tomorrow morning. Trying to get down to a known area before all the yahoos clog the roads and hoop it up for the end of their season on the holiday weekend.

G&K Posted September 27, 2011 Report Share Posted September 27, 2011 D.R. Would you please post cost etc. on you ferry crossing?  Thanks , Ed  Ferry crossing with a 63' long combo is roughly $214 for vehicles, driver plus one passenger one-way. Would be slightly cheaper of the passengers were seniors. This is by far the cheapest way we've found to get onto the Island if you have a big rig.

Jack Mayer Posted October 6, 2011 Report Share Posted October 6, 2011 We are in Oakely, KS. Left Woodland Park, CO this morning. Drove through HIGH winds all afternoon. In fact they closed west-bound I70 in two places. Weather is saying it is a steady 40mph with gusts to 60mph. All crosswinds. I'd say that it is steady 50mph. Cause at 40 mph I usually do not really "feel" it. But I did today. We will leave early tomorrow to make Junction City before the wind kicks in.
