    Default Spyderfest 2019

    Well my trip began in Vermont @ 6 pm on Sat. 50 miles into the trip it started raining - sleeting and snowing about 38 F ( however I had the Spyder on a trailer, I was nice and warm in my Van )...... 1436 miles later I arrived in Springfield @ 8 am Mon. ( =38 hrs., this included my sleeping, eating gassing etc. ... Not bad I think .... I called Joy ( Yazz ) and She and Her better half are en-route and will arrive tomorrow............Later .... Mike

    ............ MY New trailer is still in garage ..... My welder guy arrived and started the welding ..... 4 TIPS later ( I didn't have 5 or 6 or 7 etc - I should have ) ...... but He couldn't finish the job .... So I called a friend and borrowed His DROPTAIL from Tractor Supply .... My RT just fit into His 6 x 7 model ... He had cut the middle of the front Rail out so He could use it for His Spyder ...... It did tow like a dream , I'm very impressed with the V-6 in my Sienna ....I can even PASS in traffic while TOWING ........ my trailer will get finisned before SpyderQuest ...... Thanks .... Mike

    This seems like a reasonable question. Is anyone going to respond to this guy?

    Weather channel is probably your best source for national information.

    You can also google local tv stations. They usually have a very good weather map and will give the current "local" information. We use this all the time when traveling.

    Currently Owned: 2019 F3 Limited, 2020 F3 Limited: SOLD BOTH LIMITEDS in October of 2023.

    Previously : 2008 GS-SM5 (silver), 2009 RS-SE5 (red), 2010 RT-S Premier Editon #474 (black) 2011 RT A&C SE5 (magnesium) 2014 RTS-SE6 (yellow)

    MY FINAL TALLY: 7 Spyders, 15 years, 205,500 miles

    IT HAS BEEN A LONG, WONDERFUL, AND FUN RIDE.

    I think the forum member who posted this was hoping for a more personalized experience. As in "of those of you down at the rally, what's the weather like?"

    Roger is a whiz at stuff like this: ask him to give you a quick lesson in how to do it.

    The best BBQ is the other side of The Best Western. Ali and I enjoyed many meals there. The rib ends are awesome. Tom
