Big Bill's Rig Ride Home

I don't know when Bill's family will be coming to take Bill's truck and trailer back home from Duncanville, but when they do, I think it would be a great tribute to ride escort for them for a while on their way back to Phoenix.  Posting approx times and the route could allow for different join-ups along the way.  It's not much, but it's a way to show respect to his family for the way most of us admired BigBF.

Bruce (my buddy who's Valkyrie will turn out to be Bill's last tune-up - it is still in the trailer workshop as of this post) has the trailer and truck in his driveway and is in contact with the family.  As he receives details, I'll pass them along.

...also note some of us are experienced truck/trailer drivers and can take the rig to them if it's a difficulty for them to come get it.

You are in recovery mode.  Although I have no doubt you could do more running at 50% than many of us can do at 100%, I would not want to have you slow down your recovery when others have volunteered. :angel:

Some info - current info says March 3rd will be the day the trailer/truck start their journey back to Phoenix, accompanied by Bill's parents and brother.  Looks like the route will be I-20 from Duncanville to I-10 in west Texas, then on to Phoenix and should take 2 days.

This is very tentative and may change.  More details as available.
