Consider it a trip of a lifetime JD.

Everyone going to the Jack have a safe trip going and returning home.
Have fun and good luck to everybody!

Have a safe trip JD and keep an eye on that trailer. Maybe you should have a boot for the trailer wheel. It seems like a lot of trailers are getting stolen.

LOL! That's fer sure...I normally get 15 or so pullin' the trailer but those mountain grades sure suck it up...and I'm only runnin' 60-65 mph on average.

We arrived safe and sound in Manchester, TN this evening...20 miles from Lynchburg. :becky: Great drive through from Columbia, MO...got to see the Gateway Arch in St. louis...crossed the Mississippi and Ohio Rivers...and got a great view of the Nashville skyline on I-24. Had a great catfish dinner at O'Charlie's in Manchester along with a few cold ones and a shot of Gentleman Jack or two for luck...:becky: Dropping off the trailer in Lynchburg tomorrow morning then on to McMinnville to show my wife where I grew up... Pics are coming...really...:wink:

JD -
Thanks for all of the updates on your trip. I am going to live vicariously through you, Rhanna, and SwamprB this week. No pressure though!
Looking forward to the pics.
Cook well!
