Finally Leaving On My Big USA Tour....

[Blaine]

The Big Metal TeePee is packed (if not ready...still needs some shelves and cubby holes for everything). I'll be heading off east on the 12 to Missoula, thru Yellowstone, thru Cody, and down to Wheatland. Hopefully, meeting forumites on the way. Old Ironsights, you will no doubt be working, but, maybe I can track you down coming out of Wheatland, and at least buy coffee. I'll be meandering in a generally eastern fashon, ending up in Columbus, Ohio to visit my 89 year old Mother (who is living on her own and doing a limited amount of local driving...still mean as a snake). I'll be checking in when I find some 4G, or WiFi. I'm going to stay out as long as I'm enjoying it, and have meds/gas money...A bittersweet trip. It's way cool to be retired and have no end dates, or time constraints, but, I also know that actuarially speaking, that light at the end of the tunnel is really the end ..You only live once. If you have a second and feel like it, have a good thought for my trip. I believe in that sort of power.

[Grizz]

Godspeed and Prayers UP for every single thing.

we live forever, and the light at the end of the tunnel is the beginning when this practice session ends....

Best,

Grizz

[Hobie]

Blaine, enjoy and prayers up for a safe trip.

[M. M. Wright]

Safe trip Blaine. Will be praying for you.
If you come through NE Oklahoma give me a shout, I'm just off I-44's Big Cabin exit.

[Molasses]

Yup, prayers up for a good and safe trip. Please make mention on here if/when you get to Minnesota and maybe some of us here can meet up with you.

[Borregos]

I don't know....towards the end of Sept? Doesn't matter

I've turned into my Grandfather (I rolled my eyes a lot in the old days as a stupid youth)....Puttering around, checking stuff for the 10th time, sitting down a lot, drinking the last of the coffee....

[3leggedturtle]

McD's, Wendy's, Booger King, hotels have free wifi. Library's can be had in their parking lot. Some places wont let you see gun or porn forumns Have Hit the pawn shop in Lewiston, ID lots of guns.

Not working currently. Call me. PM inbound.

Note: If you come down US 26 to Torrington & on through Scottsbluff to Ogalala rather than I-25 to Cheyenne & over on I-80 you will pass reasonably close to Don McDowell's place and drive right past my front door...

[JReed]

Safe trip Brother. Have fun

[OldWin]

Blaine,

Have a wonderful trip. Stay safe and check in if you can and keep us posted.

[Ji in Hawaii]

If you ever find the entrance to the Trans-Pacific Tunnel head on over my way, the Primos will be on me.

Go to the Buffalo Bill Historic Center in Cody. You can spend half a day in the gun portion, which is only 1/5 of the museum. The Ponderosa RV park is very close and within walking distance of the museum, Sierra Trading Post, and a DQ.

[2ndovc]

Let me know when you get to OH. I wouldn't mind a trip to Columbus. Have a few friends, visit my old Frat, etc.
Plus I got this sweet new ride to break in.

[Borregos]

Hey gobbler I was at Tappan Lake first week in August!!

[Tycer]

If you make it through Asheville, give me a holler. We've got a large brand new guest shower, a guest suite and friendly hospitality waiting for you. The third week in October is the best week of leaf season to see the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains in our area. Hobie's leaves are a week earlier.

[Blaine]

thanks for your good wishes
