doodlebug....Cherie 461 Posted January 3, 2012 Report Share Posted January 3, 2012 Ok and we're off. This has been one goof up after another. we had to wait an extra week to even get the trailer and the whole time we we thought the dumb trailer was going to Oregon. This is not a bad thing though, less miles same money.Now the reason for this trip.These are Colortech trailer. They do on site paint repair on cars. The trailer is filled with all kinds of computer components to match paint, polish aluminum wheels, upholstery repair, fix stone chips. You get the idea.I'll try and keep posting as long as I have a signal. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

doodlebug....Cherie 461 Posted January 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2012 We just crossed into Indiana. The weather and traffic are still good. Now all we have to do is get through the Chicago mess. I hate Chicago traffic even more than Atlanta. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Beutiful area.I'll have to ask him.He was stationed in Whidbey Island NAS during the (first) Gulf War, when he wasn't deployed on the USS America. He was an electronics warfare officer on EA6B's back then.I know he's in another part of Washington now, but he will only be there until October, when he takes off to fight Somolian pirates.TCD Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Toll=$1.70 Roads not too bad. If it weren't for the wind I wouldn't be cold at all. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
