Glad to see WDH got me on his list.......The Pig Roast is a major event for me. Never have seen such a gathering of talent and personalities in one location at the same time........

That seals it. I'm definitely not going. I got no talent. smiley_goofy_face ;)

I ain't sayin I'll be there, but I'm sure doin some serious scheming. I'll be in oshkosh Wis all the week before. Looks like there ain't no decent way to get there. Not fond of taking on Chicago, what's the toll across da bridge for a 35 ft motor home? Ferry is definitely out, I know I can't afford that. :(

Looks like 3.50 a axle.

Depends on what fuel will cost you to drive the 450 or so miles.

Thanks, looks like about $400 for ferry, motor home plus van plus 2 passengers. Diesel fuel at 11 mpg plus tolls come to little over $200. Maybe I'll have that much left after the EAA convention :

Fat Olde Elf,

You are always on my list!

The "List" is far from complete, so please add to it for prosperity's sake ;D.

Boss, I took pride in that pig too, the eatin' of it that is

Furby · April 01, 2008, 10:03:04 PM

Ya didn't say anything about a van before. :

Says it's 432 miles crossing the bridge and 470 through Chicago.

Jeff · April 01, 2008, 10:05:49 PM

Chicago aint so bad. I made it. Twice. ;D

Furby · April 01, 2008, 10:08:35 PM

Try it with a 35' motor home pulling a van and you can't use the left lane............. then you can brag. ;)

Jeff · April 01, 2008, 10:20:18 PM

How do you know I wasnt? Well, I wasnt. But Ive dont more driving in tight places with bigger loads then you might imagine there young Furby.

Furby · April 01, 2008, 10:28:24 PM

Yeah, but you said you did Chicago twice and I know about those two times.
That's all we're talking about here!

I kinda thought you were offering to go pick them up. ;D

asy · April 02, 2008, 05:59:25 PM

Crikey, I wish it'd 'only' cost me $600 to go to the piggy roast!!!!!

For me you'd have to add another '0' :-\

I keep saying... one day... I'll get there... one day...

I will do a tour of USA. I have a plan to come to the piggy roast, and then go see the rest of the USA. OR maybe see the rest and end with the best... Dunno yet, but am sure having fun thinking about it. By the time I get there it'll be all thunk out!

asy :D

Texas Ranger · April 02, 2008, 10:46:33 PM

Well, darlin, you and yours got a place to stay in wet Texas.

asy · April 06, 2008, 10:08:54 AM

Thanks... You KNOW I can't WAIT to see the great state of Tx! don't you?!

One day...

Plan is to pay off my car, then keep paying that same amount into a bank account, and when there's enough... WATCH OUT USA!!!

asy :D

Hey , that was the year before ..... I was dry last year, I gave all those Bleue's to whom-ever was a taker . ;)

semologger · April 11, 2008, 12:08:41 AM

I would love to go but thats 703 miles for me to go. unless someone was going from pretty close to me to team up would be the only way. I would love to see the country up that way also.

DanG · April 11, 2008, 12:23:45 AM

Try to work something out if you can, Semo. I've taken 3 trips with other members so far, and every one was a hoot. There's a whole wad of you guys in the Ark/Mo area, so you otter be able to gang up with somebody. It saves a lot of money, and creates a lot of fun, too. ;D

semologger · April 11, 2008, 12:33:29 AM

Sounds good to me. Does any of you baker boys go or planning, adam or tom in mo?

Dave Shepard · April 11, 2008, 01:25:14 PM

There is a bunch of guys near here that like to travel to different shows and they rent a tour bus. Saves on fuel money, and, uh, drivers license suspensions, if you know what I mean. :

;D It's about 750 for me through Canada. Can't wait.

ADAMINMO · April 11, 2008, 02:30:48 PM

I would love to go but not sure as to whether I will be able to go or not.I will see what I can come up with and then let you know if we can work something out though Semo.Im still tryin to figure out what to do with all this water I got yesterday and the evening before. :D :D

Warbird · April 11, 2008, 03:02:01 PM

Anybody want to stop by and pick me up on the way? ;D

Per google maps, it is 3,754 miles from Fairbanks, AK to Harrison, MI. They also state it could be driven in about 2 days 17 hours. By my calculations, at 60 mph, it would take 62.57 hours to drive 3,754 miles. That equates to 2.61 days of driving with no breaks!

Giddy up!! smiley_horserider
