Thanks Mark! /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

I expect that I'll be posting quite a bit as we travel around, so that you guys can figure out what you want to do when your time comes. /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

Garry, I may have missed it somewhere, but what kind of dinghy will you be pulling?

dummy · Aug 18, 2005

I got a feeling I'm going to be talking to myself a lot while going down the road Just don't keep score during the trivia quiz time. Makes you feel awful when you can't answer the questions correctly!

Hope the retirement road is full of great times and no potholes or traffic.

Bird,

I'll be towing my '04 Colorado crew cab. It's a safe vehicle for towing 4 down (all 4 tires on the ground) and will provide a bit more storage space in the bed. I have a lockable cap over the bed.

Garry, I drove one of those not long ago; nice little truck.

Wow, that's HUGE! If you come visit us, remember to not try to drive it over Smuggler's Notch. In fact, if you want to visit it's probably best just to park in the valley and give us a call! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Have fun! Enjoy that retirement! Pete

( What is retirement? )

Congratulations Gary,
You made it! That's an idea denied to many people. Enjoy it. /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif

In the mean time, you can think of a good come-back when a young snot-nosed kid looks at you and says, "get a job you old fart!"

Yeah Bird, it is a nice truck. It has that 5 cylinder engine in it. It's O.K., but I sure can tell I'm missing one cylinder when I get on the highway! /forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif

Pete,

We'd talked about that! We kind of figure that there will be times when we'll have to park a ways away from where we need to get to. But it's something we're willing to live with. I do remember seeing some idiot trying to get one of these through the Notch when we were out there! Had traffic really screwed up.

Hobbyfarm,

Let the kid say something. I'll just blast him with the air horns and then run over his tricycle. /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

I don't know anything about Smugglers Notch, but I drove up to the Trapp Family Lodge in a 40' Bounder before I got a little car to tow behind it, and I think I drug the skids on the back end once somewhere up there.
