Came across WY & NE around the middle of August. Think it was you I saw, honked and waved. Job well done.

  Howdy Felix. So that was YOU that honked! Okay, lots of folks honked and waved this summer and I got a kick out of every one of them. I sure enjoyed my time out Wyoming and Nebraska way this summer. My wife Julia and I would love to take another ride there so keep your eyes peeled. You never know…. Bernie

  Scott.
  Wow.
  Great big thanks for the heads up on your Trinidad to Colorado haul.
  That’s a big whack of where we’re heading toward!
  I’ll be on the look out for an Idaho to Trinidad haul and let you know if anything works out!
