Power Tour "Road Trip Kit" Includes ...

[BluLightning]

Well,
Plan Ahead, Ohio has "Blue Laws" the last I remember, No Sales on Sundays.
I think first day is a Sunday for HRPT.

Just saying........

I think you'll be ok around Norwalk. I don't remember ever having trouble finding beer around there.

If anyone has trouble finding beer in Norwalk, find me on the hotel list and come mooch a free beer. We'll be well-stocked and probably listening to some tunes in the parking lot until the wee hours as is becoming HRPT tradition for me on the first night. :D

First night??

[Captain]

I'm sure we will be getting around to meet most of you. Probably Saturday not Sunday Night, could not get a Motel room in Norwalk, taking off half way to Dayton. (I still carrying a Full CDL as this retirement thing might not cover my Spending Habits!!)
Being Said, will post later about Saturday night Tailgate "Lost Home Boys Garage" get together.
Wisconsin Cheeses, Brats, Beer, Gardetto's...
The Four Good Food Groups........
Hot, Cold, Cruchy, and Chewy !!! :-)

First night??

Usually am up 'til at least 4am the first night of the Tour. The rest of the week, I try to be in bed by 1:30am.
Still not enough sleep, but I'll catch up on sleep after I die. :D

Not a bad idea to get a head start. Dad and I did this after Atlanta in 2018. Long stretch between Atlanta and Darlington and could not find a hotel we liked. Went 50 miles into the next day's route and still had plenty of HRPT cars at the hotel! It sure made the next day's drive a lot easier.

We don't have room to pack beer. I make sure I get something local in every city we stop in.

I like this idea, find something you like and then bring it home...I love to try something new and local wherever I go.
Maybe I'll bring a growler or 2 of local stuff to share?
I might have enough room...

Interesting thread.
But holy cow, Are some of you towing a small trailer of tools/parts behind you?

[Eric]

Might want to include a roll or two of your favorite TP. I remember stopping at a small rural gas station down south several years ago that only had one rest room............and no toilet paper to go with it. Someone had the foresight to bring a roll & it was still getting passed down the outside line when we finally left. Although it was a bit smaller by then. Lots of folks would have really been up shits creek, so to speak if not for that one lone roll.

5 gallon bucket with bottom cut out, and roll bar padding on the top "rim" of the bucket.

I brought some down from Cleveland last year...you guys will be able to find Stroh's in Norwalk if that's your favored flavor. :D

That was the beautiful thing about bringing the Lightning on tour. I could bring anything I wanted and even carried stuff for others in our group that didn't have room in their cars. Now that we bring the Cutlass, we don't have that option.

I don't know that growlers would be a good idea. They're too bulky and kind of a pain to store on a trip. Probably a better option would be crowlers or cans if the local breweries have them.

Anyone that knows me, knows I'm a giant beer head so I like to find a local brewery wherever we stop and check it out. It's a car and brew tour for Donna and me. LOL
