September would be good for me.
How about anyone else?

That would be the ideal time Jon, unfortunately it will take that long for me to arrange the logistics, I need to buy a Fifth wheel hitch for my truck bed. I have a friend that will lend me his enclosed trailer, but it's a 5th wheel trailer. My truck is only fitted with a class V rear frame mounted hitch, which is fine but most larger trailers use the 5th wheel for greater load capability and stability, because the weight is centered above the axle instead of pushing down on the ass end only. I'll probably spend a few nights in my truck which is outfitted with a large enough cab to sleep fine if I go alone. Maybe I could hook up with Dave in the midwest somewhere and we could drive the R/T out together Barc,(FAL308) lives in St. Louis dont know if he would be interested. Ideas, Ideas, keep em coming, this is great!Jon wrote:Still can be hot in the desert in September. Springtime, May or early June would be greener also.
From my house to Drew's is 15 hours. 1008 Miles Approx. I entered my address which is 9700 South Armstrong Place, Terre Haute, Indiana,, 47802 to Denver, Colorado, I dont know Drew's address so I just used Den. Co. and it's the above info. Having Wayne along would be terrific! We older dudes need a bodyguard anyways. Having You&Wayne along for the ride would be a great time, it's a long boring ride until Colorado, and then it's beautiful once you hit the Colorado border. You guys could help with the driving.The midwest is nothing but flatland farm fields,,gets boring through Illinois&Kansas. Brothels are perfectly legal in Nevada so thats a must see!! I should have plenty of funds for fuel. I sold a few toys that I dont have time for anymore, my brother Jimmy bought them from me. He offered to sell them back but it's not my 'bag' anymore.dave-r wrote:How long a drive from yours to Denver Eddie? A full days driving? I could share the driving from yours if you want. Share the fuel costs too.

Looks like that leaves me out! One good Look& smell and they'll be convinced I'm the missing link!Jon wrote:As a third option, there is a company here called Cruise America. They rent RV motorhomes. (I think you can pull a trailer behind them too)
Looks like a medium sized rig from what I have seen on the road. It should fit in most camp spaces too. Comfortable for maybe 4-6 people. No animals though.
