Well.......... A friend of mine went to Tennessee the same time as I was going to Johnson & Wales in Providence and at the time we had nothing except intramural sports and I wasn't a fan of any college teams, so I adopted The Vols as my team and I have stayed a fan ever since. I actually just had a Power T tie dye made for me as well when I was Hatteras, I'll have to get a picture of that and post it too, it came out great. I am a fan of the SEC division as well, to me one of the best in college sports. Best Regards, Norm

We videotaped when we came in under the big sign and we are keeping it a secret again and am going to try that again. The only problem is now they read road signs...... Best Regards, Norm

She was actually hiding, but got in the pic anyway. LOL Best Regards, Norm Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

This is the birthday present my wife got me. It is made as a 6 pack holder, but we are going to use it for condiments. Has a bottle opener as well for the special beverages. Best Regards, Norm Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I love that ride, oh well another one we'll miss. Best Regards, Norm Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Problem is that is usually where the traffic starts to build up. Best Regards, Norm

Leaving at that time you are going to nail DC traffic. I would plan leaving a lot earlier. Best Regards, Norm Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Ruther Glen is in VA right above Richmond. What time and day are you planning to leave? If you leave at the right time, you may miss traffic in DC, but you would have to go through in the middle of the night. When we went last time, we left NJ at 11PM and got to FL-GA line the next day about 5ish. That would be your best bet. Best Regards, Norm Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Oh yes, I sat next to them on the way down to Williamsburg in bumper to bumper traffic. The sign said no trailers and I had my utility one so I didn't go, and lo and behold I counted 8 trailers go by me or should I have said fly by me. Best Regards, Norm

13 in Delaware and Maryland does have a lot of lights. we always go 113 through Delaware and Maryland it runs parallel with 13 and a lot less lights they meet up in Pocomoke City right before VA state line Oh and what is this magical road in VA you speak of??? Best Regards, Norm

I also would avoid DC no matter what time it is anymore. Going the 301 route in Oct/Nov when we go down. Welcome from Shamong, NJ Best Reagrds, Norm

First page and on that very date I was in Hatteras celebrating my 47th birthday. Best Regards, Norm

Ok this trip report started in Canada, right? It's been so long I can't remember....Merci beaucoup! Best Regards, Norm

Backing plates on Ford's are very rust prone. We replace them all the time. Best Regards, Norm Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Conversion vans can't tow as much as a standard passenger van because of all the extras put on them with the conversion. Just something to be aware of. There was a 2005 Suburban on sale near me in great condition with 75,000 miles on it for $13,000. Sold quickly. Best Regards, Norm Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yes, glad we are going a week earlier. I wanted the oversized Disney Jr characters. Best Regards, Norm Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

OMG, I'm speechless, yet I want to see more. Best Regards, Norm

If you plan on new canvas, try bearcreekcanvas.com. I have heard good things about them, and congrats. Best Regards, Norm

It was called the Eagle's Nest. Best Regards, Norm

I love that truck and I could probably get it for a little cheaper since I know the GM of the dealership. We always had red trucks when I was growing up, so I am kind of fond of the color as well. Best Regards, Norm

I've been having this same conversation on Facebook with a group. They are all wanting to get new tires because the ones they have on their trailer are made in China and they hear more complaints about Chinese made tires than any other. You know why?? Because almost all trailer tires are made in China. The only one I know that aren't are Maxxis and they are made in Taiwan. I have had many different trailer tires, Loadstars, Carriers, Towmax, Goodyear and now I have Grand Ride Power Touring. All made in China, and haven't had a problem with any of them. I use the proper inflation, I cover them

Why did he tell you to get new tires if these are already new? I'm confused and the speed rating on most trailer tires are 65MPH in Load range D. The tire should say max speed on it. Best Regards, Norm

I understand too, I keep telling my wife I need this, she keeps saying no. http://burlingtonchevy.com/Certified-2014-Chevrolet-Silverado-2500HD-LTZ-Burlington-NJ/vd/26172495 Best Regards, Norm
