Hey everyone! I've been on here for a few months now and just recently saw this topic. Figured it was time to post my location.

 

I'm in the Army so I move around a lot. Currently live in Upstate New York but originally from NC and will be moving down to MD in a few months. 

 

I have a 2016 Swift on a 2016 Tacoma. I do a lot of hiking, biking and kayaking so this rig is my home on those adventures. I'm usually out every weekend doing something.

I can hit the Mississippi with a rock from my house but I'm west of it. I'll chime in anyway.

Hello, ran across this thread looking for a caravan to Alaska for 2016, anyone headed that way?  I have a 2015 Fleet purchased in Jackson Hole (great folks) on a 2015 Tacoma.  Live in the Asheville area of North Carolina, enjoy driving and visiting national parks and monuments.  Have had three sportsmobiles before settling on the FWC. 

 

 

We are heading there in July/August

Hi MuleHawk - any photos of your setup?  I have a 2012 Tundra and just bought a used 2014 Hawk.  I am heading to pick it up over Memorial Day weekend.  Was your hawk built for the Tundra, or do you have some type of spacer/riser system underneath?  FWC tells me I need about a 2" riser to clear the bedsides of the Tundra.

Hello MuleHawk,

Enjoy the trip, been there done that and might do it again. If you are heading to MI have you given any thought of crossing Lake MI on the ferry? It leaves out of Manitowoc, WI. to Ludington, MI.  The SS Badger connects US10 on each side.

Enjoy the trip and the FWC

Great Idea,

There is the Ottawa Lake Rec Area (WI State Park System) close to Sean's place that could handle a gathering.  Sean and Diana do get away now and then.  Could also do it at his place place but there would be a lot of prep work. Wouldn't it be something to see all of his customers over the years be at a GTG at his place.
