Eagle Road (Rhode) Trip- Sept 2-16 from So. Cal. to RI & then to Intl. Meet

[rollguy]

        Lord willing, I will be leaving Hesperia California on September 2 in my 1983 Eagle wagon headed East to Rhode Island, and then to the International Eagle Nest Meet at Mav's place.  Let's call it a "Rhode Trip"  I have till Sept. 16 to be back in So. Cal.   I would like to take the time to visit as many Eagle Nest members as possible on the trip there, and back.   I will be getting a trip map made soon, so I hope it will take me near you ('Nest members), and not far off the highway.   I will bring my camera and computer so I can give a live travelog each day.  I will post the route as soon as I can and you can let me know if you are not far of the route, so we can visit.  Most likely I will have the most time to visit on the return trip.   If you are planning to be at the meet at Mav's, I will meet you there and not on the road.   One place I have planned already to visit on the return trip is the Rambler Ranch.  
        I was visited by a Mercedes Benz forum member recently, and that inspired me to try it.   You can read all about Miguel's adventures here:  http://www.peachparts.com/shopforum/showthread.php?t=295832
        I have not traveled by myself for this long before, so it will be a new experience for me.  It should be fun, and I hope to meet many of the fine folks in this community.

Hey Rollguy,

If you come through Denver I'd love to meet you.  Then we can swing down to the Rambler Ranch and see the TD Eagle!  Its about 25 miles from my house.  Maybe get Tougeagle, Shanebo and Maddog to join us!

Sounds like a plan.  We could have a mini meet!

If you come through the St. Louse area, let me know. Always interested in meeting fellow Nesters. Job schedule is kinda weird. Don't know what I'm doing week to week, get my schedule Tues. mornings. Also had a call from the V.A. today, starting next week, I'm going to be going to an 8 week class on Thurs. mornings. I'll send my phone# & address in a private message. Won't be able to show you my Eagle as it's at The M.E.N.S. waiting the EXTREME MAVERICKE MAKEOVER.

I may or may not get to meet you in person, but I will get to see your Eagle at Mav's.

Unfortunately, the last I heard from him he was STILL having issues getting the house in his name & getting the cement poured to do my paint job. Hoping he can get everything settled in time for the meet.

If you are in the Omaha Nebraska area give me a holler.  I plan on being at the meet at Chas' place Friday and part of the day Saturday.  Then I head to my Grandma's in Chicago.

I went to Auto Club the other day an got a trip map made.   I also got camp and tour books to find campgrounds etc.


The rout I will be taking is: hwy 40 East to Oklahoma City, hwy 44 to St Louis, hwy 70 to Columbus, hwy 71 to Akron, hwy 80 to New York, and then hwy 95 to Rhode Island.   The return trip will start out the same, except I will stay on hwy 80 until it intersects with hwy 76 to Denver.   I will visit the Rambler Ranch, and then head home on hwy 70 to hwy 15.
I hope to visit as many 'Nest members as I can along the way.  I will try to update my travels each day with photos on this thread.   I will bring my laptop and camera, and will be visiting McDonald's & Starbucks quite often (internet connection)....Rich

Hey Rollguy,

Is it an idea to pay a visit to Ken Proulx (amcconcord) on Rhode Island, while you are there?
You know the guy that came back from the dead?

Yes that is correct.  A once in a lifetime chance to meet a miracle in the flesh.
