Re: return home check in thread

We left just after 9am and rolled in sometime after midnight. The only issue was the aforementioned Tahoe blowout (see page 1), but with the Joys help we were back on the road lickity-split. Since the spare was "questionable" (i.e. 8 years old), we tried to keep it under 70 the rest of the way. :lol: Dad left for vacation in VA around 9am (Mom left without him on Saturday), and luckily he wasn't planning on taking the Tahoe down there. Time to go unload it...

Otherwise it was all good. 4 gas stops, grabbed McD's twice. Tahoe got 7-8mpg pulling my Ty. Oops.

Truckless. For now.
Re: return home check in thread

18 hours or so and two days later, we are finally home. :lol:

We've been here for a bit, but had to unpack and relax a bit. Drove through the most insane, crazy rainstorm ever in Kansas. You know the "color intensity" chart weather forcasters use? I don't think they have a color to represent what we were in. :lol: :lol:

Working on going through pics and everything.

Good times :tup:

Well we made it home just around 9 am but the cat's on the suburban decided to give us trouble the whole way home stopping many times because of no power up the mountain hills the one time we pulled over the exhaust was cherry red when we lifted the hood, even with the sy off the trailer the tow vehicle did not have enough power to climb the hills or roll on flat ground.

Flight got in a couple of hours ago. It was a good time hanging out with everyone. I want to thank Dig for taking me to Mammoth Caves and giving me a ride to Nashville Airport.

damn everyone had trailer issues..

pretty surprising but trailers always seem to have issues.

glad all those that did have issues with their trailers have made it home safe and without damage to their trucks

I got lucky with no trailer problems. Milage pulling the enclosed trailer was 9.5. Brent had the open trailer stuck on my rearend...drafted a 12.5 mpg out of it. It took 4 Red Bulls, 2 Monster drinks and a 5 hour engery shot to keep me awake. Got home and couldn't sleep for 4 hours until all the "energy" wore off.

Had a great time!
