You're always welcome to drive the Jeep Pat!Well......wow!!! Did I have a good time. Got to drive a few trucks I don't own (Gamma Goat from Jim Henry's, and Will Freeman's BEAUTIFUL M38A1) Spent a lot of time trying to catch up with friends, but never enough time to catch up fully with everyone (Sorry!) Oh and did I mention the weather was PERFECT the whole time with a distinct lack of bugs? Could not have written a better script.
The convoy went off without a hitch - the police escort from the gate to my driveway was impress to say the least. We had 3 motorcycle units getting to town, and then 2 additional marked cars helping us get 28 trucks through rush hour traffic together and unscathed. All I can say is my hat is off to Cpl Blackman and the rest of the Randolph County Sherrifs Dept for the best escort I have ever seen.

I sure hope folks start posting up pics and videos as I know there were a million taken........
NEXT YEARS DATES ARE SET ALREADY SO MARK YOUR CALENDARS- April 11-15 2018 (Wed- Sun). And it's NOT Easter weekend!!
I hope to see everyone there, and of course hoping some folks can join us that haven't yet !!!
Sure sounds like I missed a lot.........!?.................................
I do have to say the education from Ferro on train operations was the highlight.

Yep - it would be great to see more of the Georgia crowd there next year.Sure sounds like I missed a lot.........!?
Any more details/pics regarding the railroad activities?
Gotta say Adam your turn around time at arrival to pull up the rear was impressiveHad a great time as always. A lot goes on to put on an event like this, and those responsible have my thanks and respect.
Glad we could give the train ride. Next year we hope to do it more often and in the daylight! Billy and I got roped ( well we didn't put up much of a fight) into being the train crew most of the day. They were switching a lot of cars around and needed to work on the steamer.
The steam engine there is ex-Navy. And they bought two of the USN locomotives from Govplanet in Charleston, SC (same lot mine came from) so they are MVs.
Thanks to Mike for cooking!
Billy got some pics from the rear of the convoy.
Indeed it was! Those boys could RIDE too, I gotta tell ya.The motorcycle escort is classy.![]()
