"All of us that live close enough need to do a day trip, All of us that live close enough need to do a day trip " f..... you guys I hate you. LOL just kidding . I am just jealousAll of us that live close enough to that area for a day trip need to get a ride together.
You guys were hauling ass heading north! I was trying to dodge all the wood falling off that semi. Lol.569 mi. It was 11 hrs down and 9 hrs back. Well worth it.

I set the cruise at 65mph and just camp out in the right lane. I managed 14mpg round trip doing this which seems reasonable. If I try to run 70mph, my MPG drops to about 11. The Gladiator hates wind resistance.290 miles one way from Springfield Ohio.
Is it just my imagination or where the trucks running a little slower with diesel hovering around the $6 mark?
When towing my 17' enclosed trailer I set the cruse for the speed limit.
This way most of the traffic hast to work around me and I just hold my lane.
But this weekend it seamed like I was passing a lot of trucks on the flat.
Had a great time riding with the p5 guys and gals, Thursday over to the prison and Friday down to Jellico area.
Oh the horror!!...Me and @KYgal83 almost had to split the driving!
Was very nice meeting you and your wife.Oh the horror!!
967 miles each way, to just west of Minneapolis, MN. 14ish hours (only halfway home as of this posting)
Truck + the p5 I'm right on about $1000 in gas for this vacation, lol.
10 miles, 15 minutes 🤣ROLL CALL: How far did you travel for Takeover?
This was my first time attending the Takeover, and definitely not my last! I was very fortunate to have a very short drive (or ride) to reach the event, but would love to hear where everyone was from and what your travel time was. I will start things off:
Kentucky - One hour - 50 miles
We had a great time, good to meet everybody!Was very nice meeting you and your wife.

This is the real question. I didn't know where to go without the bright yellow beacon guiding my way.And why was the Minion grounded this year??
Well, if you drive your truck like you do your P5, then . . . 😆
To be truthful, I wasn't 100% you could make that line but you did lol.I set the cruise at 65mph and just camp out in the right lane. I managed 14mpg round trip doing this which seems reasonable. If I try to run 70mph, my MPG drops to about 11. The Gladiator hates wind resistance.
Thanks to everyone for the great week.
@Hondasxs and @Tramguage1 and anyone else involved in organizing this.
@lee, @trigger, @futzin, @KYgal83, and your SO's for the fun ride Friday.
Thanks to @TripleB and everyone else for making sure I didn't go rolling down the mountain Friday night.
Thanks to @JACKAL for the expert guiding. It's always appreciated and entertaining.
Can't wait till next year.
Would you feel any different if I told you I used to be a trucker? 😆 The distance/time doesnt really bother me that much, lol. The wallet doesn't agree with me tho...
But when/wherever the next one is, definitely need a p5-only group ride.
