Bald Eagle State Park or Bust!

Well, tomorrow, at the crack of dawn, I start the 1150 mile trek to the 2021 Central PA Mountain Truckstock. Bald Eagle State Park. I will be trailering Big Blue the whole distance unless my 2012 F150 decides to die on me. It's nice to have an option. LOL I have been looking forward to this for some time now. It will be nice to meet the guys in person and share a couple of days together, getting to know them and their trucks. I am also sharing my route incase anyone would like to meet me along the trail or just stand out on the corner and wave........seriously I can spare a few minutes along the way to say hi and have a soda. Text or call @ 402-783-3783 if interested I know you guys like pictures so I plan to share some of the adventure along the way. Better head off to bed and get a good nights sleep. Cheers, Dave

Good luck on your trip. If the f150 breaks you have the option of trading places with the f350.

I would have a hard time keeping my eyes on the road. I would be staring in the mirror all the time.
Safe travels and lots of pictures.

That was an hour ago, so you are past Chillicothe by now. Chillicothe is where sliced bread came into being. They have some great murals on old buildings near the town square.
