How long are you going to be around here? I'm pretty sure I'll be around at that time, so keep me posted.

I'm heading down there next weekend for a week (of work). Nothing like getting paid for your mileage.

I am on my way to Houston Texas right now. Just stopped for the night in Mississippi. Hasn't been to bad of a ride from Long Island, think I have gone about 1100 miles or so. I wish I was driving my truck and not my work van. 2005 Dodge Sprinter, it is quite the dog on just about every single hill that's for sure.

I have def. seen quite a few power strokes towing some serious 5th wheels down here. I don't see to much of that back home, but I would say just about every camper was a 5er, not to many tow behinds.

BTW I took 78 west to 81 south, to 20 west down to 59 south. Gonna get down to I 10 and head west to houston.

Hopefully the rest of the trip goes well, about 1700 miles total

Whereabouts in Houston are you headed? I'm about 35 miles SW of downtown. If possible, maybe we could meet up sometime this week for lunch.

I am working at Memorial Hermann Hospital for the next 2 weeks. I guess its just off of 610.

While I am down here I am going to try and find a short bed for my truck. If you have any leads on one that would be awesome!!!!!!!

I think ill either ship it back home, or maybe rent a trailer and drag it back with the sprinter, but that sure would be a miserable drive lol, it cant get out of its own way haha

I would try to do lunch, but I doubt ill have much free time this trip, we are trying to get 2 jobs done in a short amount of time, but we will see.
