John, do the Michelin tires match an optional tire size for your truck?

It's been a loong summer Rich!

Hope this is the final "Fix It!"

Passed a 2006 - early 2007 RK Bird behind a white F350 today just past the AV Fairgrounds today around 1300 headed north.

Jeff

Good news Rich!

Jeff

I agree with Mike, my new tank will be for my convenience. 60 plus gallons of gas will get me through a day's drive. Then set up and go get gas, not having to negotiate the pumps around cars with the bird:thumbrt: BIG plus! And no worries about "low canopies" over the pumps. :thumbrt: Jeff

Weak link for the Dodge/RAM trucks for years.

Jeff

Westbound the prevailing winds are from the west. Plus you're on a pretty steady climb till you get to the Continental Divide crossing the Plains. As mentioned, with the large frontal area of our 5th wheels even a 5 - 10 mph headwind will affect the MPG. I usually tow around 5 mph slower with a head...

'Bout time you guys got out of the yard! Now hitch up 'Little Red. Probably feeling neglected!

Jeff

Great! After all of this there should be a metal for hanging in there.

Jeff

Passed a Cardinal being pulled by a silver Ram this afternoon. Was that you guys Honker?

Jeff

Only time I was in Forks, I think they had board sidewalks and hitching posts still!

Jeff

Our destination for the next Washington trip - in 4 years. Sis and I decided our next get together should be in NorCal, Southern Oregon in 2014. They want to explore further afield. Our family has always had "Itchy Feet!"

That sunset picture is beautiful!

Jeff

We lived in the S.F. Bay area for years, and go there 4 or 5 times a year still, so, from plenty of experience commuting and pulling trailers in the area I advise getting off 101 and avoiding San Francisco and the Peninsula entirely pulling a trailer. Construction, congestion, accident and then more...

Thinking back, I thought the Air Force was blowing up things at Edwards around that time.

Rich, you've been doing good! Me, well they'd think the "Big One" hit LA after all that grief!
