They Do Exist, TM Sightings 2009

Passed a larger TM northbound on I55 at Lincoln, Illinois at, perhaps, 2:00 Sunday, September 13. As I was headed south, I didn't have much time to look at the tow vehicle. - camp2canoe

Saw one!! It was driving east bound on the PA turnpike on the 19th of September. We saw it around 10:30am at the 140 mile marker. We were headed west so we were trying to hard to identify it over the cement barrier (we think it might have been a 2619 or a 2720) that we totally missed the tow vehicle.

We were camping at Lake Jennings, Lakeside, CA. 19Sep09 Found a 3124 camping about 6 spaces away from us. Talked to the owners they pull it with a Honda Pilot??? Not sure I would try that.

We saw a bunch during our stay at Yellowstone. A TM (2619?) was just leaving the Fishing Bridge area as we arrived on 9/13. There was a 3023 from Colorado in the Fishing Bridge campground most of the week. I lost the owner's name but remember that Dad owned the truck and his son owned the TM. We met Jim Woodman with his brand new 3124kb at Mammoth Hot Springs. Jim neglected to make reservations and was scurrying about trying to find a camping spot. I think he wound up at Madison. There was also a 2720sl in the campground way in the back but we never found the owners at the campsite.

John,
We are going to Lake Jennings Site #9 on October 16th (four nights) for the first time!!
We do Geocaching while camping at most places where we go to camp and it looks like quite a few around there...can't wait to go!

We were at June Lake ( Gull Lake) the first Sat in Aug and then Zephyr Cove for a week. ( Totally agree w/ previous posts re: Zephyr Cove, not worth the price at all!!) Then Sacramento Big Sur and then Pismo Beach. This is the first time we went the entire time without seeing a TM. There was an older TM at Pismo, the couple said hello, but I didn't see their rig. We always seem to run into at least one TM during our outing. I make a point to walk the dog over and say hello most of the time. So I guess, I have nothing to add. Except we have been to alot of the places mentioned in So Cal. The dates just don't fit.

Twice over the last week I've driven past a cell phone building (or maybe microwave) on 160th St. just east of Huron in Broomfield, CO. Both times there was a TM parked inside the fence (and it's opened, not folded). Prior to this I'd not seen it there.

I just saw my first "other" TM yesterday coming across the causeway into Bar harbor Me at about 3pm. We're at the Narrows Too CG and they looked like they were headed closer to the town.

Saw a 3326 headed south on I-25 just east of Santa Fe on Sunday about noon. It was on the part of I-25 that goes east-west towards Santa Fe. It was pulled by a pickup. Anybody here?

We were headed back to Colorado Springs after attending the opening day of the Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta. I'll try to post a trip report this week.

My wife and I were going to San Francisco by bus (AC Transit green MCI) approx. 11:30 this morning, just passing through Berkeley when I look over to the right of me I see a TM. It look like 2720 or smaller pulled by a truck. Most likely someone returning home from the TM rally located Petaluma.
