If you get a chance, you may want to check out Glacier Park in MT and Yellowstone Park in WY.

Doug, It was nice to meet you. Looking forward to hearing more about your adventures as you travel the US in your Yellow Sportsmobile Van / RV.

BRHolt, JFet, it was nice to meet you all as well. I didn't leave my rig much due to the excess heat.

brholt, jfet, deltabravo & others,

NW Overland Rally, Plain, WA

Look out for the Yellow 2008 Ford e350 Sportsmobile 4x4 6.0 diesel camper.

My Ram Truck & TC, will be home in Perth, Western Australia.

I will be wearing my Les Hiddins Akubra(Bush Tucker Man, ABC), Australian special order hat only made in Adelaide, South Australia and other hats.

I'm bring a few Australian made Football's, to show you our national game, first started in 1854, in Melbourne, Victoria.

It's an oblong ball without pointy ends, that we kick or hand pass during game to then obtain goals, over 4 twenty minute quarters. It's a contact sport. But we'll just be kicking the ball(s) for a bit of fun.

Everybody gets a kick in our game.

See you there, Doug

That hat reference referred to a photo in which he was wearing it, on Facebook, which would confirm the someone found the correct Doug if you were to go looking for him on Facebook.

I will be there with my 3500HD dually with an AF811 atop it, and my 20 cargo trailer. Trailer is hard to miss because it has a roof AC on top.

What kind of rig are you traveling in, one that you rent in the US, or did you have a truck and camper shipped here from Australia?

G'day,

All the pictures I have, have been taken by other people, so via Photobucket I don't appear to be able to repost, but upon my arrival at Sportsmobile West, Fresno, I will post pictures of my 2008 Ford e350 EB50 Sportsmobile pop top roof, 4x4 6.0 diesel,
Re sprayed, etc.

My Truck Camper is stored in Perth, Western Australia, and we use it every month.

Go to www.sportsmobile.com then click on 4x4.
