Oh for heck's sake!!
Bjorn, You will be going right past my place!!
I can throw a rock and hit the cars on the 101 fwy from my property. I'm 1/4 mile south (actually east if you look at a map) of Hwy 23/101 interchange in Thousand Oaks, Ca.
Would love to see you and offer any help I can. Tony is just between me and Ventura.
Ventura is only 30 minutes from here.
I have room for the trailer at my place if you want to drop it off to be able to move around a little easier when you get here. Also tools, air, welder, and a place to work on your truck - just in case. If you need a place to crack some WVO we can do it here as well.
Between Tony, Djfremma and myself you have a very welcome mat out. We'll show you good ol' West Coast Hospitality.

Sounds exciting! As you know operating one of these trucks over long distances requires some plannig, so as soon as you are able please, PM me directions to your respective places. I like to arrive in the morning, it's easier for me to stick to a schedule that way.
So Gary, have you designed any great biodiesel stickers yet?
The roller on the back of my pipeline bed is like a rollidex and I have one side reserved for biodiesel/veggio oil stickers.

Hi Bjorn,
Rather than a PM I thought I would post here. You have the whole left coast hanging with bait on their breath ( I think that's how they say it).
We're just plain excited for a West meets East Pow Wow and impromptu green iron reunion.
Any updates on possible departure timeframe? Jones in particular may have to pull some extra shifts due to manpower positioning.

If your schedule puts you on I-40 going through New Mexico on Aug 5th, then we can convoy over to California. I have to go over to pick up my deuce from the guy I won it from on Ebay. We ( the wife and I) were going to stay in Laughlin NV that night and do the rest the next day.

Gary and all, my current plan is to leave here on or about Aug 1st. I have a lot to do still, but hope to make without postponement.
Area52, lets compare notes later, I will be going through New Mexico at about that time. Where in California are you going?
I also have a scheduled stop near Barstow, which may take 1/2 a day.

I am going on I-40 all the way to Barstow. My deuce is south of there in Hesperia but I may or may not go down there at first. We are going over to the central coast( San Luis Obispo) for a few days and then picking up the deuce on the way back( Aug 10th i hope).cranetruck said:

Re: trip
Bjorn and Wade -
Are you going to be hitting Barstow Truck Salvage when you get to Barstow?
I have one item (very small) I would like to see if you could get if you do. As of late it has been about 110-114 degrees there.
It has been unreasonably hot here these past 2 weeks, as it has in the whole US. I hope it lets up for your trip.
Wade,
You need to stop in and say Hi when you head up to San Luis Obispo (nice place by the way). I am 1 block off the fwy in Thousand Oaks, Ca.
If you like cow, I have a great steak place for you to stop at in Nipomo, just north of Santa Maria - which is home of the Tri-Tip cut of meat and Santa Maria style BBQ.

RE: Re: trip
Bruce Beattie finally disclosed the final destination for his laundry trailer, EUREKA, NEVADA!
My travel plans will change to the extent that I'll be going into Nevada from Denver (I-70/Rt50).
After dropping the trailer off, I will then continue to Sacramento and then on down to Ventura. The good part is that I don't have to mess with the trailer in California, where I have several stops planned.
My return trip will be via I-40.
I should be able to make all previously planned visits along the way, but not in the same order.

I am going by there on Sunday, are they open on Sundays?
I used to live in Atascadero so I know about that place your talking about. We are going across 58 to Bakersfield and then over 46 to the coast so Thousand Oaks is a little out of the way, sorry about that, I would like to meet up some time.

RE: Re: trip
Area52, Did you ever get that duece from Port Hueneme or did that deal fall through? We should all meet up at one place when Bjorn gets into So Cal so he does'nt have to drive all over the place. Somewhere to accomodate a bunch of dueces.
