Day 2 continued:
I was feeling a slight vibration, and thought I had a tire out of balance.  I saw a tire shop with the worker sitting on a chair waiting for some business.  I had him balance the front 2 tires:

Entering New Mexico:

More New Mexico scenery:

Day 3- Panhandle day (driving through Texas & Oklahoma panhandles):
I spent the night in San Jon New Mexico at a truck stop:

Entering Texas:

Here at Mickey D's posting todays log:


I will probably be making a detour and driving north to visit with Brandon (83 Eagle!).  Then to Ohio, and then to the meet.  I may get to visit others as well if it works out....Rich

Thanks for the pictures, vibration gone now?

Since you're still out west, Happy Trails to you!

[rollguy]

Thanks for the pictures, vibration gone now?

Not really, I think the problem is in the rear.  I will try to find a place to do the rear soon.

Day 3 continued:
Entering Oklahoma:

Entering Kansas:

I saw several of these John Deere dealers along the highway. This was the smallest, as the others had a lot more green iron out front:

I just had to stop here and fuel up- Flying Eagle Gas:

Headed north now to Nebraska. Good night, and I will resume this log in the morning....Rich

Enjoy the drive roll guy I love the scenery. I wish I could make it out to the meet but my front end is not exactly highway worthy plus the whole work thing. Be safe and Have fun, Keep the pictures coming.

[shanebo]

Heck yeah I would love to meet up with you guys...Keep me posted!

[83Eagle!]

Got a call from Rollguy.  He should be in my area anytime.

Day 4:
I made it into Omaha. Stayed last night at a truck stop. Well actually they call it a "Travel Center".  I am headed over to Brandon's house a few miles away after I log out.  I just realized, you don't even need to go inside McDonald's to use the free internet.  I am sitting outside in the car.  Only one photo so far, more later....Rich

[eaglefreek]

Glad it's going well. It sounds similar to my road trips. Lots of McDonalds.

Day 4 continued:
Arrived at Brandon's house in time to go to church.  The service was great, and not unlike the church I attend at home.  After church we had a nice lunch at La Mesa mexican restaurant. The fish tacos tasted wonderful.   Brandon's car is very similar to mine, in fact they are almost twins!

I am planing to drive to Ohio to visit relatives, and maybe get a chance to visit Sean (sleepsundercars)....Rich

[IowaEagle]

Rich just called and he is stopping by tomorrow a.m.   I hope my directions won't get him lost.

[SleepsUnderCars]

[Mavericke]

Sean, does that mean you're making the Meet afterall!? That'd be sweet!
