Looks like a great trip!  I will not be making the meet this year  :'(      So, if you have time, swing by.  I am about 25 miles north of I-80.  (Grinnell exit).
if you have car troubles in grinnell i can recommend a cheap hotel out there  :rotfl:

Change of plans!     Unless something changes, I will NOT be driving to Rhode Island.  I will not be able to meet Ken & Paula because of unforeseen circumstances.  I WILL be driving to the Eagle Nest Meet, so I will have more time to visit 'Nesrers on the way there.   If you are not far of the main highway, I can take time to meet you.  I will still be taking the route that was originally planned.    I will try to post photos and log my daily travels here on this thread......Rich

I am all packed and ready, and will be leaving as soon as I log off.  The car set up for sleeping in the back:
(vangremlin, your bumpers will be safe sleeping next to me).



Here we go!

Day two:
I got as far as Kingman Arizona last night and slept in the Wal-Mart parking lot:

I went next door and had breakfast at my favorite restaurant- Cracker Barrel:

I am at McDonald's in Williams AZ.  I got a few photos of the Grand Canyon Railway:


The area around Williams/Flagstaff is very scenic and beautiful:


I am thinking I may make it into Oklahoma, or maybe Texas this evening.  If you would like me to visit you on the trip (as long as you are not too far off the main highway), please call me:   (626) 824-4404.  Thanks, Rich

I suppose Little Rock is out of your way, but if you get this far south let me know.
Looks like the timing will be off or we could have met up and made part of the trip together.  We'll leave Wednesday.

I will find out and let you know, as I am not exactly sure.
