All,

I have put some thought into my trip this year for the Rantoul show, if anyone would like to get some stuff moved around the country.

I am only looking for some fuel money, unless it is off my intended route of travel.

Here is a map of my plans.  The only two for sure locations are the show in Rantoul, and Sparta IL.  The other route can be modified to accommodate your items.  Please don't hesitate to contact me and see what we can work out.

At this time, the truck will be empty with or without a trailer, from Colorado Springs, to Gibbon, NE.  The truck and HD car trailer (~8000 lbs.) will be empty from Gibbon, NE to Rantoul, IL.  From Rantoul, IL to Sparta, the trailer will be mostly available, and the truck will be empty.  From Sparta, IL to Gibbon, NE, there will be room for some stuff, but not a full load.  From Gibbon, NE to Colorado Springs, the Truck and if the trailer goes, will be empty.

Again, if you have something, give me a shout, I am fairly flexible at this point.

I think I heard that Trump was going to build a wall around Shameless's farm to deflect that snow back down.

I am sure willing to drop in and say HI, and meet you in person!!!  I am afraid I would have to bring a bunch more cash, because I will want to shop while I am there!ShockedShocked

Right now, our plans are to be in your area on Sunday late morning, early afternoon ish.  If that works for you, let me know and I will shoot you a PM to figure out the details.

Here is an updated route for this trip.

11-August:  Colorado Springs, CO --> Gibbon NE
24-August:  Gibbon, NE --> Sutton, NE --> Dorcester, NE --> Waverly, IA
25-August:  Waverly, IA --> Rantoul, IL
27-August:  Rantoul IL --> Sparta, IL --> Holts Summit, MO --> Columbia, MO
28-August: Columbia, MO --> Gibbon, NE
Early Sept:  Gibbon, NE --> Colorado Springs, CO

I am out of trailer space, unless it is something like a sickle bar, or something thin or flat, that can fit under a running gear on the trailer.

I do still have room in the truck bed, for parts and pieces if you need.

Send me a PM if you have something you want moved near or along that route, and I will see what we can work out.

I want to say a HUGE Thank You, to those of you who gave me something to haul, and helped cover some of my fuel costs.  

Dad and I really enjoyed the Rantoul HCOP show, what a sight!!!
Having put on a tractor pull for going on 48 years, myself only about 35, it was nice to sit down and actually watch two nights of tractor pulling action in addition to all of the awesome displays, and field demonstrations.

I also got to meet some great forum members.

TomNE
WayneIA
Sandknob
AJ
Norm
Randy
Den/Southern Illinoi

I also got to chat with others I have met before.

Hope to be back in that area again next year, yes you know who you are, working on dad and the D21 effort!!  Wink


ALL are OUTSTANDING individuals, and it was a pleasure to meet you.

The attendance keeps getting larger every time.  We got there Thursday morning with 5 rigs, our SCOUT had checked for parking NO GOOD  so we circled the rigs by the exhibitor entrance and had 8 rigs total GOOD SHOW!!

Great to meet you and your dad. I'm guessing that all went as planned on the rest of your trip after you left Sparta. Den

That is a darned good question.

I really didn't take any, which is unusual.  I do have a few videos, but nothing spectacular.

Not sure what happened, I normally take hundreds of pictures, guess I am getting forgetful in my old age. Ouch

I was really impressed with how well the show is attended.  I am glad to see such support for a show.  I am concerned that there needs to be some changes in some of the Golf Cart, ATV, UTV pathways, in the heavily crowded areas, like the main food court, someone is going to get hurt.

All together an Awesome show
