Frandee is on her way to Sun Valley, passing by the Idaho National Laboratory where the world's largest nuclear test reactor resides, and my place of employment. If you zoom in you can see the reactor in the background behind the Frandee.

no wonder the frandee glows at night....

reminds me of the Three Dog Night song, "one is the lonliness number"..................used to think of a 1951 Hudson twin H power Hornet when I heard it, until now.
 
Made a stop in creaters of the moon. Just after leaving there had a strange vibration coming from the front end. Stopped and found 3 broken front wheel studs and 3 loose ones. Made it to Hailey, Ford is replacing 6 of the studs (all they had in town). Hope they get it done quick, I have a flight at 3. However, it's a good opportunity to have lunch at the snow bunny across from the Ford dealership. Always an adventure.

Silver Creek Ford in Hailey came through, studs replaced in about an hour. They said they are open on Saturday, just in case anyone needs a Ford repair. There is also on O'Reilly's across the street for parts and a Napa in Bellevue.

Made it to the airport, small parking spots, I had to unhook and get the privalage of paying for two parking spaces.

The rest of you have safe travels, without the adventures like I just had. See you all Saturday.

really funny thing, most the guys on the west coast, drive Fords, so, I would encourage everyone to tighten all the lug bolts before you leave and while you are at it, check the air pressure on both the Ford and trailer

thank you moose for leading the way, and getting that problem out of the way, so no one else does.....

Wow, hope there's more snow than that . . .

I am sure there is, Galena is still 20 or 30 miles away and at a much higher elevation than the airport where the picture was taken. At my house we have lost most of our snow, but up the road 10 miles there is still 3 feet of snow.

fyi, the latest report of yesterday, baker creek has good 2 feet of snow at the parking lot and more up on the mountain and smiley creek, which is up in the Stanley basin, has even more snow, we have several places to choose from, so, snow will not be an issue, and either, having a great time,
 
A very experienced desert racer I worked for in the Midwest ( short course program, currently loors, lucas, torc ect) stated that if anything goes wrong in a tow it happens in the first hours.....

enjoy your travels, 1/2 the fun is getting there. the other half is the people.

take time to enjoy the people. The SVS has a brilliant participant focused itinerary enjoy the camaraderie.
I will be watching from a distance, snapping up all the cheap tuckers that will hit the internet while you are distracted with snow and vintage snow cats.

Clowder-On!!!!!
 
Reserved room available

For 6 or 7 reasons Cathy and I will not be able to attend the fabulous Sun Valley Event this weekend. We have a King room reserved for Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights. Let me know by PM or email if you would like to take over our reservation at the October booking rate. SV needs us to contact them before check-in time on Friday. Thanks, the McCall Crew
 
Ok I have a buddy and his wife that has decided to come with us to Sun Valley, kind of last minute. He could take over vintagebikes room, good for both of them. I sent VB an email via the forum, but if it's like the PM I never seem to get that to work here. If someone has his number maybe let him know and he can PM me. Thanks.

See y’all Friday. We are loaded up heading out in the morning.

I remember some folks asking if there are spare seats. We will have some.

My wife Nancy and I are looking forward to meeting you all.

Fingers crossed to getting through the first two hours!
 
Representatives from The East have arrived in the Valley!
