ROAD TRIP! (feeling like Anthony!)

Well, taking a road trip tomorrow. 1000 miles one way.

Of course, Anthony and His wife would beat us by hours! We will be taking a break halfway.

Although ours will be more of a "pleasure cruise", than anything else.

Found a great deal on an enclosed car hauler to rent. Not many places do.

If you live in a large area and want to do a rental business, buy a freaking car hauler and rent the sucker out. The outfit here can't keep it in their yard! It is rented constantly!

So, if you happen to see this combo the next couple days, give a honk!!!!

Enjoy your time in mn, there is a lot to do, unless you want open water up north! Just watched the ice on mille lacs move onto shore and into condos on the south shore by the news. It looked like a glacier, about a foot thick!

Yes. World Famous "Bucking Horse Sale" week!

Benny: Is the plan to do a total disassemble and rebuild???
Will know more as time goes by. First, running good will be the priority for the week, then once home, we will look it over and decide how far to go. (this car needs to be in the parade with the others)

For sure a new paint job is in the plans.


Thanks for the "be Safe" comments. I will for sure.

Just bringing the trailer to the house, I can feel that flat front of the trailer pushing wind. Amazing how a little slope, like on my TT, helps!

If you ever want to stop in Miles for lunch or dinner, the Family owns the Yellowstone Tavern there.

First exit (exit 141) from the East into Miles, turn right, go until the T in the road, left turn, then not quite a mile down on the left. Should have room for you to park.

The family farm is near there.

Anthony, Anthony..

Saw you at Mile Post 90 on I-90 at right about 5 Pm Pacific Time.

Your wife was driving.

I waved!!!!! But she was sipping on a cold beverage it looked like. You must have been sleeping.

Any way. Are you coming back through here? (Miles City)

I'll be returning Next Sunday.

Didn't get a great look at the trailer. Focus was on the puller and who was behind the wheel.

There sure were quite a few folks pulling new trailers to the west coast. What, were all of you held up do to wind, then released all at once! LOL
