Got a report from 1SG Gifford this afternoon and they made Dawson creek. He did run out of fuel about 5 miles outside of town, but had extra on board. He found out that his 43 CCKW pulling a Ben Hur trailer will go 236 miles on a tank of fuel. Last night they had some rain and his quarters...

Thank you for sharing. Keep the pictures coming. The Admiral's car was at Arlington a few weeks ago.

If you saw a CCKW and a couple Chev 1 1/2 tons, that would have been Bill, Steve, and Neil. the timing was about right.

We have all brought home toys that were in worse condition. Amram is just looking because all the tires have air. :-D The deal is worth the price for scrap.

The 4 color paint job on the M54 was done with a brush over the original solid green paint of the Vietnam era. After looking at Cougs, it really makes me want to spray it, so now I am torn between leaving it as original as I can and doing a fairly decent job on it. If I could get a fairly...

RCA, what did you use for your paint application tool? Nice looking job.

I haven't heard anything of a need for road assistance, so they must be in Canada by now. Probably locked up by the RCMP. :beer: We discussed the pros and cons of this mission and we finally decided if you weren't doing it in a WW2 rig, you were along for the ride. Besides you don't see as...

Sounds fun Scott, but this month is mostly booked for me. NW truck collectors show at the Lewis County Fairgrounds next weekend Aug. 4-5, they are also having an airshow at the local airport. Ft. Stevens on the 17-19, Toledo Threshing Bee Aug. 25-26, you could camp there if you would like...

Here are a couple of photos from today. 1st Sgt Gifford and Mike Edridge (New Zealand). They were doing some final packing. You will note in one picture, the 1st Sgt. giving directions to the troops. Mike got a kick out of the size of the CCKW when the M54 pulled up. They thought they were...

I met Mike from New Zealand at 1st Sgt. Giffords, yesterday. He arrived on Tuesday. They have the CCKW mostly loaded and are planning on leaving Olympia, WA at 0700 Sunday morning.

What kid? I just see trucks!:D

Will try for a parade shot again. Sorry I didn't get a model release on these. but everyone is looking at the truck anyway. :D

Special thanks to Aaron and Amber, with Wayne on the grill. Also special consideration to Dale on the T-shirts. What a great job. Here is installment two on the pictures. Hopefully this will show some of the variety of vehicles that were in attendance. These show both in the field behind...

Does it make a difference if you attach the pictures?:( I counted 38 vehicles at Aaron's and Amber's at one time, so overall there were probably about 45 vehicles attending over the course of the weekend. We had 33 in the parade and 23 on the cross country tour and dust bowl. :D

Hello Team, here are some from last weekends festivities.

Also Aug. 25-26 will be the Toledo Threshing Bee. They have in the past allowed us free entry by bringing an historic vehicle. They have a place to park the vintage vehicles where the public can view them, there is a swap meet in conjunction with this as well. Plus lots of old tractors and...

It does not seem to be on the air, but Aug. 17-19 will be a joint operation between the Oregon Military Vehicle Collectors Club and the Friends of Willie and Joe at Ft. Stevens. There will be MV's and historical displays for this one. Camping is also involved, but you will need to be...

Sounds like Ed has a keeper there. she likes green and she is mean too! Break down photos, that's cold. :-D I thought I had wrecker Ray for the litterbug award, then when we stopped on the cross country jaunt, the temporary data plate that I put on the truck was missing, so me too. :( What a...

What a great looking truck and setup. Bon journey.

There was somewhere in the vicinity of 22 - 25 vehicles on site this evening when I left. Get there if you are able. It will be quite a show in the parade. :D
