Made it home.....

Well that was a good pull, trip...minus some friendly concerns.
If you recall I posted last week about my axle/wheel when a person flagged me down saying something was wrong with my trailer.
I think he was just not familiar with the wide spaced axles I have on my Bullet trailer.
After reading, and reading ,and reading all I could on the internet, I think a lot of folks aren't, it seems its the proverbial Ford or Chevy debate/argument....which I ain't getting into on here
I just wanted to update and let all of you who chimed in, all is well, no wear and tear on the trailer, pulled home great, tires true, and lots of tread, etc.

Had a great trip, weather could have been better, warmer, but its what you get on the coast of Washington.

Very nice KOA in Bay Center, Washington. They have their own clamming beach, but so do I at home, but lots of folks did take advantage of it and dug lots of clams.
I went for the oysters, they are everywhere.....
I barbequed some, delicious...BIG and PLUMP ones.

Truck ran outstanding Super Duty F-250 FX4 6.2 gasser.

Home for 2 weeks then shoving off again.

Some pictures, enjoy and thanks for all who posted to my other thread, it was really appreciated!

That meal looks delicious! I've never been on a beach where there were clams/oysters. Looks like I need to add that to the bucket list.

Having lived my entire life in Texas, I have been mighty deprived (forgive me Sam Houston and Stephen F. Austin). When I retire, which isn't too far now, I will travel this country and visit the beautiful places like Washington beaches. I've swam near oyster beds in Texas (ouch!), but digging fresh clams on the beach and having a few beers with former strangers/new friends while eating them is on my list! Thanks for the report and pics!

PS. If you want more "warmth", feel free to visit Texas We're dying down here! Fall begins in December, when we dip into the '60s.

Great pictures. Glad everything seems to be working well. We'll trade some of this midwest heat for your cool weather.

Spent 2 weeks at Grayland Beach State Park and explored the coast up and down. Had beautiful weather which was nice - escaped the smoke and heat of Eastern Washington

Looks great.
Grayland State Beach is my last outing of the season, next month, then I am taking the trailer in for a check up, its 2 years old, and then heading out in November until after the New Year in Southern California, visiting kids and grandkids. ...
I will stick to the coastal routes going down from Washington, and coming back, won't chance ice and snow.
Heading out in AM for Leavenworth and early Octoberfest for a week. S'pose to be great weather, in the 70's.

Glad you had a great time!
