Do we have anyone from Bowling Green or close by? Moving there by the end of the end potentially and curious if anyone can tell me a little more about the place? And if there are any usual meets of course.

 

been there a few times back in my truckin days........big bugs and alot of people.......................I still have a beautiful image in my mind of the Kentucky Blue Grass

 

I think there is a few guys that check in here from KYDTR that do live down that way. I cant remember who all is on here from over there and cant find a members list here. I'm from Northern Ky but we try to have our group meetings once a month.

 

talk to any of the guys at TS they are right there i know when we were down there last last year for the TS event it was pretty nice there.

 

this little zip code thingy is pretty nice for rough info:

Wow, Thanks Johnny! I use City-Data.com a lot, but their information acquired from census reports tends to be a little old and maybe not entirely accurate either. I think we're definitely going there, maybe sooner than later. Better load up the ol' 5er and head down the road. Ah the second home....I think we'll take up residence at the Beech Bend RV park when we first arrive. How handy to have a dragstrip in the backyard eh?

I'll look into the KYDTR crew too and rub shoulders with a few of the boys. I'm looking forward to getting away from the Heavy Duty towing scene and actually have a life and some time to spend with the Dodge......err...the family I mean LOL.

okay so the Towing company I work for gave us the word YESTERDAY that we were closed and that there would be no payroll on Friday...bastards. So the owner said the trucks had insurance on them for the rest of the week and to have at them to make all the cash we could. "Use the fuel that's in 'em and fill 'em back up on your dime". Needless to say we've been running hard to make some quick cash. The heavies are cleaning up, and go figure....there's not a lazy driver in the house LOL. Anyway, moral of the story is we're hitchin up the 5'er, my shop trailer, and making tracks to Bowling Green this weekend, or maybe monday depending on what happens over the weekend. Gonna stay at Beech Bend RV park for the time being, looks like a cool place and good monthly rates. So for any of you in the area up there.....gimme a heads up and we'll touch base once we're there.
