Have a great adventure Hugh. We did that trip E>W several years ago bringing a 36' medical RV from Ohio to SoCal along Rt 66. Fun times but it was mid December and fookin freezin!!

Gentle suggestion: Forget the Dish and get a mobile wifi hotspot for all your news and entertainment. Verizon has pretty good coverage coast to coast.

Great fun there buddy. If you get near Indy, give me a call.

My incompetence.

Thanks, we pay $7/month for the directv to the RV, it works, sometimes the Verizon jet pack is pretty weak.

My friends dad had some motorized directv dish on his 5th wheel. He would push a button and it would move around on its own to find the signal. Was pretty freaking cool...

Looks like a great trip so far!

Found another great prime rib joint here in LV..

Doing a Jack Nicholson/About Schmidt. Seeing an RV like that always reminds me of that movie.
Happy motoring!

I thought you were going to offer free drnks and a meal if he stopped by.

Thats a given! :D

When your on that desolate stretch of highway beware of UFO's and alien abductions.

Good update Hugh, looks like you are holding up well to life on the road.

Do you have an antenna for over the air tv? That can be easy to get dialed in if near enough to a source.
I have heard that the aiming for sat signal is pretty critical. Folks do talk highly about those that tune themselves in automatically.

That meteor crater is pretty spacey to visit. My older son and I went there and while walking around between the RV park and the crater, found a stone that looked molten. Probably some splashed out material from the impact.

My last long RV trip was slowed way down from my usual destination fixation, by the threat of a hurricane approaching the destination. So rather arriving to have to possibly evacuate, we slowed down added a few days and wondered along the way. Taking time to drive a little off the beaten track. This led to many unexpected sights and adventures along the back road routes. Good fun and the kind of travels I plan to try to practice on future trips.

Your trip is about to take you into very different country, those tall green things are trees, enjoy.

Cheers Richard

Headed to OKC today, storms and hail and possibly twisters staying there two days. Yeah over the air roof antenna, didn’t pick up schist at Route 66 casino/rV park. The $500. Or so for the cube is worth it to me.

Storms, hail and twisters, Oh my! Todo where can we hide?

Sounds like you are set on the cube.

There are detailed threads on the subject on Airforums, if you what to research a bit.

Cheers Richard

Hugh..are you towing a small car?

sorry if i missed it in the body of the thread.

If you are on I-74, I-55, or old Route 66, you will pass by me. Let me know if you pass through Bloomington, IL.

Regardless, that's a BigA$$ steak!

I thought he was dragging the eco-Camry behind it.

oops, guess not

Cadillac Ranch is in Amarillo, I do believe.

You eat that raw Jalapeno pepper and you will be blowin hot seeds all night.

Trust me on this:

When you leave OKC, back track a little bit and head southwest on I44 to Rt 49 to Medicine Park.

Stay on Rt 49 through the Wichita Mountain Wildlife Refuge. It is really an interesting place. Fort Sill is south of there and you may see some tanks on the range.

Head south on Rt 54 to Rt 62 to Cache, OK. See if the Star House is open. The Comanche revered this area as chronicled in, "Empire of the Summer Moon", an unbelievable book.

You will probably not have a chance to go this route again; you are so close that to miss it would be a shame. My daughter an I did it years ago and she loved seeing the buffalo and the strange bump in Oklahoma that is the Wichita Mountains.

You can work your way back to the Interstate through Lake Eufaula.

Hugh -- the Porsche swap meet at Hershey PA is on April 21st. A pretty good sized group from the 911 Tech Forum are planning on attending. Hope to see you there.
