Woohoo!

I see you downsized your two-wheeled transport. It's all good. Two wheels=good.

Re: 2012... The Year of Renewal

SKOOLIE SIGHTING!!!

I met up with Tygercub today on the first leg of their most excellent adventure...woop...woop..Skoolies in the PARK!!



We checked out each other's rides and I got to meet Her "children"
The layout of her shorty is nice and the Bath Tube is alot! bigger than I imagined

Love the colors of the counter top

She was pressed with time....long story she will tell the stories so far when she has time....access here will be very limited for the next few weeks.

We said goodbyes and we both decided one last pic at the same time




She followed her friend home and...it was cool when she let her friends young son ride with her
I followed them through Bristol until we parted ways near the border and I headed south as she went east...


Tyger..it was great to meet you and you are welcome and encouraged to swing by on the return trip

have fun.....cheers

Re: 2012... The Year of Renewal

Thanks guyz! It's been a LONG three days on the road. I'm camped in St. Louis RV park right now, taking advantage of their wifi. Because of the limited internet connectivity, I'll be posting all my updates on the website: www.mindmyway.com. And be sure to check out the gallery of photos! There are a ton more than what I've put in the posts!

Just waiting for the RV park to wake up and open the gates (we are in the middle of a city, after all), then I'm off to Sioux City Iowa. More when I get my next wifi spot

I've found that ear plugs help reduce fatigue on those long days in the captain's chair.

Safe & happy travels, and thanks for keeping us posted.

Re: 2012... The Year of Renewal

Did you make Sioux City? Just wondering, it's been 2 days since you last post... drop a line and let us know???

Free wifi can be found in a lot of places, truckstops, airports, city parks, cafes, coffee houses, rest areas (some states) some possibilities listed below..
