i prob shouldnt waste the time to post this but a lil love can go a long way. my littl ebrother has been in airforce for 4 years and is coming out. Im getting up at 430 and flying to spokane washington tommorrow. I'm taking a trip who cares right?

Well heres the thing. he bought a 16ft enclosed trailer to bring his stuff home. Hes got it weighing 10,000lbs and we are pulling it with a f150 king ranch. i mow grass commercially and i know my trucks and pulling and we are in for one heck of a ride through some of those passes coming from outwest. truck isnt made to handle the weight and he doesnt have the experience driving with something like that so im making sure little bro makes it home ok.

Ive done laid out my best orange outfit and hat to show off across country and hes got the UT tag and dual exhaust to draw a lil attention.(Not in the redneck imbred way the other teams accuse us of lol) and im sure rocky top will be played if we see another fan. hes a smarty britches like that.
But on any account we will take it slow and get home with the least amount of problems hopefully. Prayer goes a long way and i just thought id ask my volnation buddies to remember us in their prayers as we spend the next 7-10 days trying to get home safely.

thanks to all and talk to yall in a week or so!
GO VOLS!

does this have the sound of the beginnings of a Darwin Award winner to anyone else?

A road trip like that with your little brother can be a great memory in years to come. Have fun and be safe. One bit of advise is that pulling that much weight is not the issue. Stopping with that much weight is the problem. So be careful and take your time and dont rush.

Take your time and map this out, there is a ton of stuff to stop and see. Needless to say, going to be some hard choices, Grand Canyon, AZ; Monument Valley, Utah; Devil's Tower, Wyoming; Glacier National Park, Mt, Yellowstone National Park, etc, etc. Have fun.

only if at the point in the trip something starts to happen, and one looks at the other and say's "watch this"


I'm just having fun, I wish you a safe trip, and take the time to enjoy the sites you can experience along the way..

and your safe return. I know you won't be this far south, but if you are...stop in and say hello. One Vol fan to another.

Thank your brother also for his service for me...for us.

Let us know when you get home. Vaya con Dios!

Do you have a GPS system? I bought one from ebay for my trip to Atlanta and it performed superbly.

Only 100 bucks on ebay and it was worth it. Get one before you go.
