LeakingOil Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 It's funny to see guard rails without anything like drop offs behind them (I guess cows can be deadly) Glad you had no major troubles. Connie called about the critter and we all were quite worried about you. Definately plans are in the works for the East to meet the West. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbone Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 I hate driving thru these areas at night, you never know whats going to jump out in front of you. This is a peice of the tumbleweed that scared the crap out of me. This was after hitting the coon. I stopped 4 or 5 times during the night to take quick naps. By Tues morning I hit Billings, MT and got some breakfast and a MOCHA:banana: I drove all the way past Spokane before I had to take another nap. Rolled into the driveway at 6:30PM.

Qman Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 Glad you had no major troubles. Connie called about the critter and we all were quite worried about you. Definately plans are in the works for the East to meet the West. I kept leaving "Where's Waldo?" messages along the way. Thanks again for keeping a watchful eye on Rob. We were worried about the cross-country trek knowing how hard headed he can be. Keep us informed on the plans. We'll help put something together for you.

LeakingOil Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 Rob's awesome. Connie kept us all informed on his where abouts and happenings (didn't want to over text the poor gent) so glad he made it home safe now he's just gotta catch up on his sleep and get that bug crap off his baby:grin: We'll let you know when we will be heading yor way. Can't wait, between the conversations with some of you and the Zap movies always being watched I'm stoked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbone Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 Hard headed? Thats saved my arse more times than I can count:headbang: I've traveled in foriegn countries by myself before, I think I can handle a 6Kmi cross country trip:-p It's always a learning experiance tho. With someone with me next time, they better help keep me awake:rolleyes: Whoever/whenever makes the trip over here is going to be in for a real treat;) Actually, the texting kept my brain going. A little distracting but hey, not to many other cars on the road at that time either. I almost stopped at a store in town here today. Bunch of High School kids doing a car wash, but I didnt have any cash on me at the time. Hopefully they will be around tomorrow so I can get the bug guts off the car, its nasty.

dhise Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 That's one heck of a trek though. I drove from detroit to jackson, mt by myself in thirty something hours with a big camper on my truck and didn't freak out until wyoming. Gotta love south dakota though, it's like the blair witch project to drive through. Hours and hours and hours of the same scenery...... congrats to Connie and Tommy, I just had my 4th anniversery on Tuesday. Got married in my backyard, blah..... -Doug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbone Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 I would also like to thank Tim and Vickie for thier hospitality, twice:clap: Having a shower on the way home made my trip home alot more bearable, if you know what I mean:-p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bucky92 Posted July 26, 2007 Author Share Posted July 26, 2007 I think my longest solo drive was from Carlisle PA to Smackover Arkansas ( yes it is a real town and it is on the map..Southern Ark close to El Dorado) in my beat up 82 Toyota Truck..had my camper topper on it and my dirt bike hidden underneith.Truck was so beat it wouldnt pull the mountains..had to turn the OD off and you would still only be doing 30 by the top ..yes it was an AT..needless to say..the truck never made it back..broken crank..spent 2 days in a motel off exit 168 in Va ( Rt81) The trip took me something like 24 hours down..the next time I went..I flew:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbone Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 Speaking of towns with funny names.... I was traveling thru Kentucky (I think) and saw a sign for "Bucksnort". After I was done LMAO, I got the camera out to take a pic of the offramp sign but half of it was covered by a tree. I almost turned around to go by it again:rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
86BRATMAN Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 In Indiana, about an hour and a half from the SOA plant. There is a town called Sample. The welcome sign says "You're In Sample"... Say it fast and what do you get. Here in southwest VA, there is a place called Smackass Branch. It is one of the most redneck places in our area.

Turbone Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 DITTO^^^ If your that worried about it, do something. You said you have all kinds of equipment in the basement, use it! Change your diet, eat less. I dropped almost 15lbs in 6mo and I'm feeling much better. Just need to get a little more muscle tone back and then I'll be ready for the dating scene, haha:rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's plenty of trails to hike. You know I hear this all the time from CT people..some of us arent into the hiking fishing thing..I used to come home from work..get my bike outta the basement ..warm it up while I put my gear on ..and go up in the woods for a hour or so...every day..I have 400 acres of trails right across the street from my house..then on weekends my friends would stop by with the trailer and we would load the bikes and quads up and off to Tower City Trail Riders for the weekend...then every other Sunday..I worked at Sleepy Hollow MX park in PA as head track official and first turn flagger.In the winter it was snow mobiling.. CT is boring for those who arent tree huggers or museum-a-holics..Thomaston Dam is a joke and the closest MX park to work at is in Walden( not worth the drive out for the little pay). When I say I need high energy stuff to do..I am talking about Xtreme sports energy. And I dont want to drive for hours just to get to any. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
