Rick. Cut that Bad Boy loose. The water is great. So what is your plan? That is where are you going to be and when?

I brought mine form the dealer in a snow storm of slushy salty roads and it has got warm enough yet ot even th9ink about get the power washer out yet. Hoping maybe this weekend I can cleanup the outside. Safe drive!!! Enjoy!!!

Rick, Oh yeh, the 26th. I asked you when on the other thread.
As soon as you cross the border at Detriot keep to the far right for I75. It's a mess as everything is under construction. After that and about a 1/4 mile is a left turn at a stop light, it's marked to I75. Now you drive straight through Mexicana town with a left turn probably about 1 mile, watch for the sign and maintain the left lane all the way. That road will lead you to a sharp right and onto I75.
I paid particular attention to the clearances and turns and all are no issue with a coach and tow.
Safe Driving.

Peter

Yes it has been a snowy winter and Mother Nature gave us another 2" last night!!! Just to remind mw its not over until "She" says!!


Peter we are going to cross at Sarnia, Bluewater Bridge, It has been recommended by a few IRVer's.

JavaJelly has given me route to take to get around the construction and rejoin I-75 south of Detroit!!

After sitting for 3 months there is lots to do to get 'Ready'to Roll!!!
