Road trip from south FL to NC and maybe Ohio and back to FL

[Stonepicker1]

UPDATE>>>UPDATE <<<<UPDATE as of 26-FEB-2014

Trip is a go....leaving out on Monday (3 March) afternoon or early Tuesday (4 March) morning. I have a pick-up time at GL in Ohio at noon on Wednesday 5 March.
Looking to pick-up Adams trailer over by Lakeland, FL and take it to his place in SC. Then going over to I-75 and up to Ohio. I still have to drop some 16x16 tents in Ohio and pick-up Kenny's wrecker bed.


My EUC cleared Friday, so now I have 10 days to get my Gator at Fort Bragg, NC. COMPLETED

I will call Monday morning to see about an appointment time for pick-up. I'm off of work until the 3rd of Feb.

If my trip falls through, I think another SS member could pick my Gator up and bring it to South Florida. COMPLETED


So, IF I go (depending on appointment time) I will have an empty trailer going from South Florida to NC ( I-95 up ). Then I will load the Gator and either head back to Florida or go on to Ohio ( Cut over to I-75 N ).

If I go to Ohio, I have two 16x16 tents that I will drop off in Ohio and will bring back Kenny's wrecker body that is located in Ohio. This would mean my trailer would be full from Ohio to South Florida ( I-75 S )

Cute gator, is it gonna get a 50cal mount?

Stone picker- Call ferro, He has a trailer SE of Tampa that needs to come north.....

 

[Ferroequinologist]

Its basically a m200. When are you leaving? I have the paperwork and can send it to you. It is at a forestry site.

 

[Recovry4x4]

Standing fast Sir!

 

[Stonepicker1]

As of today, I won't be making the trip north.

Wife and son are real sick with the flu. Hotshot Trans is seeing if he can pick up my Gator and bring it to "bbf" place.

I will still be making a trip to Ohio, sometime before spring.

 

[Recovry4x4]

Copy that Sir. Tend to the family first and always.

 

[gimpyrobb]

Yup, best wishes for the family.

 

[Stonepicker1]

Family is doing good.

Picked up my gator at "bbf" place today.

Eric of Hotshot Trans brought it down from Bragg.

Looks pretty good.

Could this be the end of an era? Has Stonepicker1 taken his last worldwide surplus delivery and pickup tour? Details at 11.

If you come over after the GL pickup I can be home a little early and get the backhoe out and warmed up.

I'll just use the front loader to scoop up all Kenny's rust and put it on your trailer.

Phil and Steve, thank you both so very much. Neil Young told us that rust never sleeps. BTW, it looks like Abdullah the butcher got to the wheel lift. It's not supposed to look like that. Phil, if you run short of real estate on the trailer, I can beg of someone else to grab the wheel lift. I do kinda need that rear axle that's with the bed.

I was thinking I remember that phrase as an ad campaign from an auto undercoating company. With a Little searching I realized it was Rustoleum that used it(not Zebart or RustyJones)

There are several urban legends revolving around the album title's origins.
Rumor has it that the group Devo came up with the slogan as part of an
advertising campaign for the product Rustoleum, a rust inhibitor. Neil has
confirmed that he got the phrase "Rust Never Sleeps" from Devo but whether it
was ever seriously created for an ad campaign is unknown.

Rust-Oleum is a maker of protective paints and coatings for home and industry use. It was founded in 1921 by Robert Fergusson (a sea captain, not the famous poet) after he noticed that raw fish oil spilled on rusty metal decks stopped corrosion from spreading. He soon incorporated whale oil into the formula, although many changes have been made over the years.
Rust-Oleum remained a family owned company until 1994. Today, Rust-Oleum Corporation is owned by RPM International Inc.
In 1979 the company's slogan, "Rust Never Sleeps", was adopted by Neil Young (upon a suggestion by Mark Mothersbaugh) as a name for an album.

I am in Central NC if you need any help, or have a break down

I should have the space for everything.

 

[swbradley1]

It will all fit on top of the body. That's the way it came in.


Most of it will probably blow away before you get back to FL.

Sounds good, my son and I will take a break after pickup then meet you. Pm me address.
