ztnoo 2,300 #27 Posted April 8, 2019 (edited) @stevasaurus, remember he is going to have his wife with him, so I imagine the "shot" business is not in the conversation. But I'll let the man speak for himself...... You could have a double to even things out!!! btw, I've looked at the map and it looks to me the I-80, and then I-84 is the most direct way to Boise.

Live in Elgin, just after you go around Chicago. Might be time for dinner and a shot of Jack. I'm only a few blocks off the toll way. Let me know. Awesome idea. I’ll see how it aligns with stops! 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sarge 3,465 #31 Posted April 9, 2019 Safe travels and watch out for those orange barrel zones - I might just be out on 80 making sure folks behave, along with Illinois State Police. It has already been a rough year here and elsewhere with the accident rates once again on the climb - so keep your eyes peeled. If you need a break halfway across Illinois - I'm 10 minutes off Exit 56 and can meet up for a cup of Joe. Sarge 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As to road conditions, you may want to scope out road conditions in advance in Nebraska as several roads there suffered severe damage in recent flooding because of unprecedented rainfall. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pullstart 66,594 #33 Posted April 9, 2019 Safe travels, Aldon! I hope all goes well in your 2800 mile journey, selling the old place and finding a new ‘Horse stable. If you need help with the haul, me and @stevebo know someone with some good ole Chevy Duramax power to help that Ford! 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BOB ELLISON 2,981 #35 Posted April 10, 2019 @Aldon sorry to hear you might miss the Big Show this year. I got to meet you and it was a pleasure to talk to you and the others about the little red horse's. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Aldon 4,828 #43 Posted April 16, 2019 Yup. And since I had all my ducks in a row, and tractor stuff either loaded or boxed, the pack up is going very quickly. The Driver(crew boss) is actually surprised at how ready we were for them today. They had estimated 4 full days. Looks like 3 will git’r’done. 4 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ztnoo 2,300 #44 Posted April 17, 2019 It's good to see you have some decent weather (for now) to get loaded. Hope that holds throughout the entire move. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stevasaurus 23,274 #46 Posted April 18, 2019 Any chance you are stopping in Aldon?? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aldon 4,828 #47 Posted April 18, 2019 Steve, as as much fun as it would be, I don’t think Elgin is going to be a good spot to stop due to minimum distances I need to drive per day. I hope to get back for a Wisconsin or Indiana show next year though. And I may get back to the Show in PA. As part of a business trip. Just won’t have any tractors in tow. 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LeSueur Minnesota's closer than either of those..... just sayin' @stevasaurus will agree it's a great show!
