Noticed grease slung on 2 wheels at the last fuel stop.

Not sure if it's the change in elevation, or the 40 degree temp increase.
Pulled the rubber caps, and gave em some fresh grease. Hubs are just barely warm.

:confused:o_O

Maybe @rrrr knows? I am pretty sure this is his old hood...

@Headless hula

A little bird tole me to tell you the AZ Highway Patrol likes to hide out in the bushes along the sides of the roads. Especially in Havasu and Parker for some reason lately.

Drive safe! Think you'll make town by tomorrow?? Not sure where you are at right now...

DPS has a hard on for out of state plates due to drug traffic. I'm guessing the boat will eliminate you from being looked at but be mindful in AZ, especially in Mohave county. Speed safely, 75 posted :D

So who's turn was it to wash the windows?
Anybody do head count? Everyone here?


No! We're not there yet. If you kick my seat one more time, I'll leave your ass at the next gas stop!

FOCK!!!!



:D


Bearings are fine. Been running 75-80 now, and no more schmoo on the wheels.
Stopped at gallup for gas and a few munchies.

I'll be in town around 10-10:30
:cool:

Hula, I don’t know how you can drive with that orange paper on your dash causing that glare. That would drive me nuts!

Good job...probably hitting the desert past Kingman now. Hopefully those damn speed bumps on I40 didn't shake you up too bad. Get a burger, a beverage and a bed, rest a bit, and you're ready for the weekend:cool:

Yeah I do PHX to IA straight through each way every summer as the only driver. 24+ hours each way... the extra 6-8 hours from whisky to LHC would be a deal breaker, however.

Think the grease coming out of the bearings is the trailer telling you to get rid of that ford and buy a Chevy so I it can tow straight the whole way back haha

Pulling a Boat Solo? In the winter?
I've done it more than a few times. I think 32 is my record. Hula is 2 hours North.

Catch some sleep, the highway buzz will carry you through...but tomorrow night may hit you like an anvil:p

Hope the weather's good for you. Maybe make a real snowbird out of you...next thing you know, a condo and frequent flyer miles;)

Not a boat, a toyhauler. Multiple times. All times of year including blizzards. No trailer, done 30+ hours more than once. My wife hates me, we stop only for fuel. And you better be in the truck when the pump stops or you’re getting left behind. Need to pee? Hold it or use a bottle. I don’t waste unnecessary PTO on travel time, lol...

Looks like Hula is 180 mile closer to the lake than me. I better get my ass in gear and get headed that way.

BTW. Impressive trip sir.
