Hull #1091 @Oliver Campground


wink-n-deb

Recommended Posts

Delivery Day went great yesterday! Kudos to Ryan for a thorough orientation that enabled us to learn, have fun, and ask endless questions before choosing our spot on the Oliver Campground. It's been so much fun meeting other owners and learning from their experiences during our stay here so far.

We were also blessed with beautiful weather on pick-up day and a quiet peaceful evening for our first night stay. Today, we are enjoying another sunny and warm day in the 70's before we head home tomorrow for PA, where it's currently in the 40's according to family members. Oh well.

We eagerly look forward to seeing you all at the Oliver Rally, which is quickly approaching.

Peace, love, & safe travels!

Please help! Apologies for the oversize photos, but I didn't see an option to choose a smaller size.

Any assistance to reduce the image size is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I'm confused!

At the Rally - do I look for the white Oliver or the white truck or the white legs?😆

Seriously - THAT is one good looking rig.  Glad that everything went well and that the weather was good to you - at least until you got home.

Hope to meet both of you at the Rally!

The only way I know that you can reduce the size posted would be to use your own photo editing software to reduce the size before you attach the photo to the post.

perhaps like this?

I love plain vanilla in ice cream, trucks and Ollies. You have a great setup. How is the grass at the Oliver sites?

Smaller images have smaller file sizes and upload a whole lot faster if you have a very poor Internet connection,  like in the middle of the Yukon Territory, but otherwise, IMHO don’t bother. Just reorient (rotate) and crop if necessary. The forum automatically reduces them anyway, the only way to see a full sized version is to open it in a new tab or window.

Please add your model name, hull number, and tow vehicle info to your signature. And home town, if you want to.

Your pictures are fine at the size they are! 

But if you want to change the size, here is how. Upload the picture and insert it into the message field. Then double click on the picture, which brings up this dialog box shown below. (Note I am using a web browser on a laptop. It might be different on a phone or a tablet.)

The default is 1000 pixels in width for high resolution images, but this will be a lower number for low resolution images. If you enter 500 pixels into the width box your picture will be one-half the size. You should keep the box checked for Keep Oriinal Aspect Ratio, unless you want to squish your picture in funny ways. Then click on the Update button

Note you can also add a Title for the image, and set the alignment if desired.

Thanks for the reminder JED.

The campground setup is nice.The grass and everything here is much greener than in PA. But somehow we keep dragging those little stones from the driveway into our camper. lol

Try a local Ace Hardware….. https://www.acehardware.com/departments/home-and-decor/kitchen-utensils-and-gadgets/indoor-floor-mats/60008

I rarely use anything larger, this traps stones and pine needles, and you can clean it with a flip of the wrist, then set it just inside the cabin entry for travel.

Wow David Thanks!

I have been copying them to a word document, then grabbing a corner to shrink it, and then cutting and pasting it back into the forum!

I like your way better!

Well, for those of us long time dodge /Chrysler fans/owners, Ram will possibly always be a "Dodge" in our thinking, even though the branches split,  back in '09. Our 2008 is one of the last to carry a Dodge Ram badge, sadly. But, we'll carry it proudly.

It's all still under the FCA umbrella. ..

Am I one of the few who misses the Plymouth badge? My '74 Plymouth Duster, with its hearst shift, will always be one of my favorite cars. Frankly, I wish I still owned it. And, my mom's '73 Satellite Sebring... that was really fun to drive. And, fond memories of my brother's road runner...

My brother's other car, his 73 Dodge pickup, was arguably one of the worst vehicles any of us in our family ever owned. Never without a rattle, or bits falling off.

Maybe that poor production era was why they split the badges? Bad memories? IDK. 

(Dodge) Ram tough...working our way to 300k on our 2008. A lady stopped by the other day in a parking lot to admire our "pretty" truck. Crazy, huh? Whatever, it still runs. Great.

The Internet is full of images of wrecked trucks with this caption, here is just one:

Hmmm, looks like the rear suspension might be damaged too.

I loved my '69 dodge pickup, slant 6, 3 on the tree, step side, aqua factory color. I could sit on the front fender with my feet on the chassis rails when working on the motor

aaaaah, nostalgia
