My M101A2 Trailer adventure.

It all started about 8 years ago. I had been going to the 127 Sale ( It's a yard sale that is over 650 miles long) I wanted to buy a new truck and go to the garage sale at the same time. So after doing some research on the internet and finding a dealership in Houston Texas I bought the truck and then realized I needed a trailer to haul our stuff home after all we were driving across the US!! I found a M101A2 for sale in Baton Rouge LA and made the deal to pick it up 2 days after I got my pickup. We flew from Portland Oregon to Houston Texas and got the truck and 2 days later we were in Baton Rouge LA to hook up the trailer and off we went!! I have been a military collector for over 40 years and really enjoyed stopping at garage sales and flea markets. We did manage to fill it up at the 127 Sale and flea markets on our way home! I wish I took more pictures along the way. I was really amazed how many people complemented how much they liked the trailer!! This is the first picture when we made it to Alabama to start the 127 Sale.M101A2.jpeg

After Whitehorse I wanted to drive the Dempster Highway. WOW!! what a trip. So much to see and be sure to take along some extra fuel and spare tire. Even though I never had to use them.... Made a lot of stops along the way. I tried to make it to the Artic Ocean but the rivers were still running high due to snow melt. But we did manage to make it to the Artic Circle!!!
