I'm in Utah

[MrAudio815]

Hey Everyone,

I'm in Utah~! Made it here yesterday the 30th to Kaysville around 5pm.

The Rockies were cake, it was mostly down hill. :eusa_danc Came through wyoming side.

Arkansas had the largest hills, but the wind helped me get up them. Kansas to Colorado was a pain, the wind kept me at 45-50mph. Then going north in Colorado I was going up big hills about 60 to 65, the wind was pushing me big time. Amazing how much the wind can affect you.

I felt at times as though I was pulling a brick house with the wind, it was just grabbing me :eusa_doh: :BangHead:

Oh and I averaged 12-13 mpg, not to bad at pulling 5,200lbs (100lbs under max)~! :banana:

I'm guessing that it's a relief to finally get there. Glad to hear that you arrived in one piece. Don't forget to send us some photos... at least of the new shop. :gar-Bi

Matthew,

I'm glad you made it there safely. :icon_thum I know what you mean about the wind. I drive a little Honda Civic and on a really windy day it will blow you almost into the next lane. My favorite is when I'm coming up behind a big rig. Right about 100 feet behind it the car starts weaving back and forth because I'm halfway into the area of wind that the truck displaces. Fun stuff.

Glad you made it ok. Now you get to unpack. :wsad:

 

[Ray Martin]

Trent,

I'm not sure why, but as soon as I read your note I thought of 'cavitation'... which would be in a liquid (e.g., water) rather than in the air behind a trailer. Of course, that comes from the movie Down Periscope and so has no relation to anything here... :icon_scra

Utah huh...

Only NERDS and WEIRDO'S come from Utah. Say hello to my folks while you are out there.

Hey Matthew,
When you get to Logan, try Angie's Restaurant on N Main for breakfast!

Regards,

Glad to hear you made it safely, Matthew. Now after all that hard work loading up and driving for days on end you get to unload:gar-La; Sounds like fun...:eusa_danc

Stay in touch.

 

[CrealBilly]

What are you doing in Utah?

 

[Charlie]

Matthew, Glad to hear that you made the trip without any problems. Now, hurry and get your education so you can get back here to North Carolina. We have many more segmented pieces to make :gar-La;

 

[b4man]

Thank goodness!

Just remember that we're here, thinking and pulling for you. Please keep us in your loop.

Glad you had a safe trip. Now for the worst part - not only unloading but unpacking - ugh! I'm from OKla and lived in Nebraska for several years (yes, it was difficult - had to hide my NE license plate when in OK - lol.) The wind literally will blow vehicles over, and loads off trailers. Please stay in touch!

 

[Canuck]

Great to hear that you arrived safely and all of your gear(s) are intact!:gar-La;

Hope that you will post some pictures of your new digs.

You deserve a good long rest after that excursion!:icon_thum

Take care.

I am glad you arrived safely Matt :eusa_clap I would imagine you now have a greater respect for the original Utah settlers who traveled in the decidedly non aerodynamic covered wagons. :wsmile:

 

[erasmussen]

Glad you made it safe
Now you can have some fry sauce

 

[janderso]

Hey buddy! Glad you made it!
