It's coming sooner than you think

@elcamino/wheelhorse easy access to the interstate (but not next to,its quite) gas and Walmart across the street . Lots of restaurants ( College town) and a 25 minute beautiful drive to the fairgrounds . ACcuz for sure is taking his camper but I may still stay at the Holiday Inn Express (I have points so it’s usually free or close to it) . I’m not putting down the Comfort inn and it’s only 5min down the road . I do see there’s a holiday in express in Chambersburg but right now it’s $39 more night ($70 vs $109) compared to Shippensburg .As far a trailers the hotel let me leave my trailer full of tractors right out front for a 2 nights and a day . I leave my empty trailer right on the grounds and haven’t had any issues.

Would an Okie be alright? Plenty of room in the RV for another passenger or two

Just make sure you don't eat any of BRF's chimmy chongas while you are at the show. If so, get it out of your system before you hit the road. Don't want anyone to get hurt on the way back.

@squonk Remember the guy in the straight truck towing the small SUV at the old Comfort Inn in 2016 . First he clipped the fender of a parked car thinking he could pull around the building. The next morning( all of the following occurred before 7 AM ) the SUV keep jack knifing as he was trying to back out of lot. Finally unloaded the SUV . Took about 1/2 hour to get the truck and tow dolly headed in the right direction. After 4 or 5 attempts at getting the SUV on the tow dolly , he came in and asked me if I could help get the SUV on dolly. Took three times but he finally made it. The last time I saw him he came close to clipping another parked car.  Breakfast and show for free, can't beat it.

Bigger parking lot at the new place. We may have to steal a bus stop bench.

I hope to have it good enough to drive around. Need somewhere to leave the trailer/tractor while we sightsee the first part of the week. 

How big is the trailer?

[19richie66 16,942]

5x10 single axle. Ill have my one tractor on it. We might not get to hop around as much as I had hoped. Probably leave it on the truck Wednesday night and then at the fairgrounds thu-sat. We pull out to go home Sunday morning. We'll see the closer it gets. Nice to have options though👍

Edited December 15, 2017 by 19richie66

[roadapples 6,981]

Plenty of room for that. Only concern was I put a sharp curve at the end of the lane so you can't see in from the road. 16' or under can make it. Let me know if you need a place to park it....

[19richie66 16,942]

Thank you! Will do. 👍

Speaking of the Big Show and all the guys that have responded the question @857 horse does Howard hibernate from the end of one show until April of the next year. Anybody heard from him ? We need to know about making signs , will Howard bring the pole and the biggest question is will he have someone to talk to.

The one who loses the talk off gets to wear the "French Maid " outfit.
