randyoitker1 Posted January 20, 2010 Report Share Posted January 20, 2010 I wanted to let everyone know that I am out the door on my way to Reno,NV. I will be westbound for about 26 hours. I have to go up to Dike,Iowa first and pick up a new target for my shows. Then I will hop on I-80 and hope to make it there on time. I am supposed to be there to set up tomorrow night by 6pm!! The Oitker's always have a challenge to get somewhere!:D:D It is freezing rain here and for about the next 200 miles. It is so bad at home they canceled schools today. My mom will keep everyone updated on how things are going. It will be just gas and go and maybe a quick stop at a fast food place. I will be staying at some huge casino called Grand Sierra Resort and Casino! I have never gambled before! Think I might try $10 or $20 just to see how I will do!! Look at SCI's website,(www.scifirstforhunters.org) there is a lot of stuff going on there.I am listed under seminars. Even President Bush on Saturday! I would like to meet him but I have to leave Sat. night as soon as show closes because I have to be in Rosemont,IL. on Wednesday next week. For the new America's Outdoor Expo. But I will have to go home first and put out more hay for the cows! Talk about Busy!! Maybe some Forum members will be there! I hope they don't close I-80 on me!

IowaDeerHunter Posted January 20, 2010 Report Share Posted January 20, 2010 To bad you don't have time to stop Randy....I am only 4 miles from Dike. I also heard they closed I-80....travel safe, it's a little icy out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RTPROFamily Posted January 20, 2010 Report Share Posted January 20, 2010 I just heard from Randy that he is in Dike, Iowa. He has to pick up a new target from Delta. It was made special in Denmark from Danage Targets. Delta is a distributor for them. Danage makes targets for the Olympics. He said the roads are very slick but he is doing okay on time. I hope that I-80 opens by the time gets to the closed area. Keeping my fingers crossed!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevebeilgard Posted January 21, 2010 Report Share Posted January 21, 2010 well, the randy's are about to see the best sportsmans show there is. all the other shows they've been to are nowhere close. they will not only have a blast, they will see folks buying $10,000 dollar items like they are buying a beer. i can't wait to hear the stories..... and randy, as you look around the plush reno and it's casinos, i want you to remember just 1 thing. how much of what you see were built of peoples winnings??? lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RTPROFamily Posted January 21, 2010 Report Share Posted January 21, 2010 Just heard from Randy. They just crossed into Utah. Dad is driving now. They just went through a whiteout. Randy drove until 5:30am this morning!! They are making fairly good time considering all of the bad weather they have encountered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brownie65 Posted January 22, 2010 Report Share Posted January 22, 2010 I just got back from Utah on Tuesday. We left as the big storm was beginning. Wanted to get back over the mountains before it got bad. Was on I-70. Good Luck to them on their trip home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
