Well, I'm getting all excited about the up coming trip to Thompson !!!!! :cool Took the Avalanche, trailer and BelAir down to the shop on Monday and got the L/L hitch, brake controler and tie downs installed. Took her out for a test drive and you hardly know the traler is back there, other than the weight on a hill. Drove about fourty miles and she just tracked straight with no waggle, even in the wind !!!
We got back to the house, just in time for a big wind and rain storm ! :eek: Didn't get her unloaded before it hit, so by the time I got her back into the shop, she was a mess ! I'll post some pictures as soon as I can get them loaded. Took her over to the car wash last night and cleaned her up, even though it was only 49 degrees outside.
Sure made a mess of the car !!!!
I thought I'd start this tread, to track my progress and post some pictures along the way. We plan to leave on the 29th so that we can attend a family wedding along the way, then head out toward Ohio on the 30th. Not planning any long hard days of driving, because I'll have to take two weeks off work anyway, so we might as well take our time and enjoy things along the way. We will be heading down I-80, so if we will be passing your area look for us and honk, or get in touch with me and maybe we can arrange a visit.
Hope to see alot of you there, we are really looking forward to seeing everyone again. Sounds like the crowd is growing and some very interesting people are planning to attend !!! Should be an even better event than last year, and we had a great time then !!! Having the car there is going to make it even better !
See you there
