They both did but it is tight. It would be nice if the trailer was a little longer but a 40' Motorhome & 20' stacker adds up to 65' going down the road.

It's not easy to make sacrifices.

So true Doug. We'll honk when we drive through DC on I-495 on the 5th of November.

Doug, I-81 is a lttle out of my range but I think a wise choice for you. If you hook up withI-95 in the DC area use a by-pass as the Washington ring road SUCKS in a major way. Whatever your schedule do not hit the DC area on Friday afternoon. That is an experience that you want to avoid. Safe journey.

Our plan is to by-pass DC on I-495 and we should be doing that in mid-morning then we will stop for the weekend in Petersburg, VA. Last year we were in DC on the by-pass over Memorial day weekend and got caught in motor cycle traffic for "The Ride to the Wall". Slow moving, but well worth the wait watching all the bikers with their flags.

Dave get yourself a copy of "Big Rigs Best Bets Campground Directory". They only show sites that can accommodate long rigs. They have visited every site they list and even have the lengths on sites by number as well as discriptions of road widths and turning ability. We're spending next winter in Tucson so we'll probably so you then.

Well the trip has begun. We loaded everything on Saturday and left Nampa early Sunday morning.

Into Utah and then Wyoming spending the night in a WalMart parking lot in Evanston.

Monday on the road to Cheyenne where we spent the night at the Terry Bison Ranch RV Park.

On Tuesday we left for Lincoln, NE were we will stay a couple of days to rest before departing on Friday for Altoona, IA were we will meet Gail Rhoten who was the fourth owner of ERA EXP002.

The weather has been less than desirable while we have been on the road. Snowed on us in Laramie rain in Cheyenne and forcast of rain in Altoona over this weekend. Sure hope this isn't going to be how this trip goes
