When we pulled into My Old Kentucky Home State Park campground (small campground) there was another Oliver already here.  Hull 781, Cliff and Stacey were on the maiden trip home from picking their new trailer.  We had a good visit!  Mike

We just saw a pretty Legacy II eastbound on i40, at mile marker 49 , Asheville NC.

Blue stripes and oliver emblem.. Two bikes on the back. Grey tv. 

Hi from Seadawg. We weren't towing, so you probably didn't notice us. Just in our way to W Asheville Lowe's.

Spotted an Oliver Elite II going Westbound on I-68 through downtown Cumberland, MD.  Looks like one of the older models.

Black Dodge Ram 1500 Crew Cab with TN plates.

The guy was driving like his hair was on fire...LOL, we could hardly keep up.  Followed about 25 miles to our exit.

I think we saw that trailer a year ago, or so . Maybe in classifieds?

Here’s a couple of reverse Ollie sightings… We’re on our way home from Maine and have been PM-ed twice about being spotted on the road.  One in Tennessee and one in Virginia.  Maybe we’ll get another one this week as we drive across AL, MS, AR and TX!  Mike

We’ll be south of Tupelo.  We’re in Tuscaloosa now and leave in the morning going through Starkville west into Arkansas.  Need to get home for some appointments.  Last time we were through Tupelo a couple years ago you guys were out camping…. Go figure!  We stayed at Trace State Park with the lakes that had no water.

OK, seeing an Oliver on the road is one thing, but, as my wife and I were headed out on our usual Saturday night "date night" just last night I spied an Elite II with blue and gold side stripes headed west on highway 64 in Brevard, NC.  I started to flash my lights but since we were in my wife's car I figured that they would only wonder what that deranged person flashing lights like crazy was trying to tell them.

Usually in the truck I'm towing the Ollie.  However, certainly there are those that claim I tend to look a bit deranged even walking down the street.

I was out on a family road trip this weekend hoping to spot a Oliver out in the wild. A tall ask given we are roading southern Idaho. Sure enough, though, headed north on Monday 9/27 about noon between Twin Falls and Mountain Home and red/maroon truck towing a Oliver II with red/maroon pin strips goes by on the other side of the freeway. Wish they would have been headed the same way as us because I would have followed you 😀. Thanks for being on the road though, I told myself seeing a Ollie in the wild this trip might be a sign, dough, what to do now!

We were headed north on 285 between Clines Corners and Santa Fe, NM today and spotted an Elite II heading south.  It had a blue butterfly logo on the front.  I know I’ve seen that logo before but can’t remember who it is.

We also saw several Casitas, 2 Scamps and 15 or 20 Airstreams all heading south.  We were getting worried that we were heading north into some kind of trouble!  We’re camped outside of Durango and all is well….  Mike

Late September in Wyoming - Boy, I'm jealous!  Just who is in that Elite II that can be seen in the background at 2:49 for THIS video?
