Red1 Posted June 4, 2008 #1 Posted June 4, 2008 We're southbound this Sat. and should be in Gulfport, MS by Sunday night - I just wanted to give an advance warning to all the members between WI and the Gulf. So if you see this rig parked at a food joint, http://www.simpsontaxidermy.com/RSVtrailer.jpg feel free to stop and buy us lunch. If you see us on the road - get out of the way! This trip south is the main reason I won't be attending the rally in Ontario this year. My daughter starts training with her battalion in late June and then leaves for Afghanistan sometime in Oct., so this will be the last chance I get to see her before she ships out for almost a year. Keep a good thought for her safe return, eh?
eagleeye Posted June 4, 2008 #2 Posted June 4, 2008 Hey Red, You have a great, safe trip. Nice trailer. And I'll certainly keep a good thought for your daughters safe return. Steve
Eck Posted June 4, 2008 #3 Posted June 4, 2008 Red, As I've told you before, my door is open anytime to you. Hope you have a safe trip. If you need any road service just call.. (and call, and keep calling..) Really, if something happens call me. Our thoughts are with you and your daughter as your both prepare for her tour / journey in supporting the wonderful country we all live in here. Tell her I said thank you!
sarges46 Posted June 4, 2008 #4 Posted June 4, 2008 Good to hear from you Red! Have a great trip and all the best to your daughter. All you soldiers have our support for what you.
GigaWhiskey Posted June 4, 2008 #5 Posted June 4, 2008 If you decide to be around this way on the 21st, or on another day, stop by.

STOP by the craps table and the biggest guy there playing should be me........
mini-muffin Posted June 4, 2008 #7 Posted June 4, 2008 Have a safe trip down. Enjoy your time together. Plus you can give her a big hug from the group. We'd do it ourselves but you didn't say exactly where she is. Anyway she'll be fine hope you hold up ok. she'll be added to our prayers here. Margaret
Red1 Posted June 4, 2008 Author #8 Posted June 4, 2008 ........for the well wishes for my youngest. Margaret - Right now she's a SeaBee in the Navy and is stationed in Gulfport, MS. Once her training starts she'll be all over the country for a couple months. She hasn't been assigned her duty station in Afghanistan yet or her job while she's there, but she says her "pre-combat training involves a lot of munitions and weapons, so she thinks they'll be blowing stuff up". She's definitely a chip off the old blockhead. I don't gamble, so I won't see you at the craps table, but to you and TX is not on the agenda. If you knew me, you wouldn't invite me so easily. Rick - I may see you in MN later this year. And good to hear from you, Steve - stop in anytime. Did you want to head up to MN with me on Labor Day for the Piggie in the Conifers rally? Thanks for the offer, Eck & the Natchez Trace idea - we're looking forward to that on the ride home. I hope I won't have to take you up on the roadside assist, tho. Ya'll ride safe as well.
GigaWhiskey Posted June 4, 2008 #9 Posted June 4, 2008 and TX is not on the agenda. If you knew me, you wouldn't invite me so easily. My kids can take care of you, LOL. I am ready for a straight jacket.
BOO Posted June 4, 2008 #10 Posted June 4, 2008 Good luck Red on the ride and I hope you don't run into to to much rain. If you need anything as you go by, let me know I'll do what I can. Tell your daughter "Thanks" for what she does and keep her head down over there. We'll be thinking about her. Jerry
Red1 Posted June 4, 2008 Author #11 Posted June 4, 2008 Will do Jerry - head down and eyes open is what I've already told her. We're gonna head over to Madison and run 39 down to 57 - not much fun bet we can cover the miles faster. I considered taking 47 and stopping by your place, but there's too much traffic and too little time this trip. I trust you and Jane are doing OK? Say Hi for us,
DragonRider Posted June 4, 2008 #12 Posted June 4, 2008 Have a great trip down to the Gulf Coast, I know you wont be coming throught Atlanta, but if you happen to take the long way home and get close, give me a shout, I got plenty of room, just ask 86er, and Muffinman............And tell you daughter THANKS for doing her part to keep us free..................
