Looking for a little local advice for the best route- the trip is from Maryland to Utah. I came up with the two shortest routes and wonder which way you would go. Keep in mind I'm driving an empty M818.
Shortest route (by only a few miles) goes thru Cleveland then west thru Des Moines.
Other...
May 25 or 26th depart. Time to bring the M818 home, Maryland to Ogden, Utah. The route is primarily I-70 and I-80. (Not familiar with the best way to get to the Mississippi, open to suggestions).
Looking for contacts to back me up and emergency help along the way. Would appreciate a few phone...
Bought some flat black spray paint at a 'store closing' sale- .25 cents/can.
Woke up to a calm overcast day- thought I'd throw some paint on the bobber. Took 3 cans to do the right side. Have to wait to do the other side- the wind picked up. Left side shown for 'before' picture...
Took the newest deuce in the motor pool out today- Mesquite to Gold Butte, Nevada. We heard there are some good examples of rock art, so we went with friend's that know the area- (Retired Brigadier General, Utah National Guard, 32 years. Randy J. Ence and his wife).
A nice 50+ mile round trip...
The best men are those who stand up, keep their word and finsh the job. You guys are the best and better!
When GL approved my first EUC- 75 days after the auction- I was really happy. I could make an easy run up to South Dakota and get my first deuce from Uncle Sam. But later that day I got a...
Need help- need to pick up an M35A3 in the next 10 days. Appreciate it.
More info: EUC is approved, M35A3, at Ft McCoy, Sparta, WI. Be great if someone could help me get it off the base. If you can either help pick it up or provide a short term storage lot- let me know. I have a couple options...

I just came across a good supply of new motor oil. (Maybe a couple hundred gallons or so.) It's older stuff, mostly 30wt. While I'm sure it's new and clean, I don't want to run it in any of my vehicles as motor oil, so my question is, should I mix it with diesel for the deuce? 50/50?
And since...
Hey- I'd like to know about rail transport for MV's, (M800 series stuff on this project, but I'd like to know as it pertains to trucks in general). My searches didn't turn up much. Nor has trying to get online quotes. Before I call around (as an amateur), thought I'd try to learn about the...
(The trip out to Lucin will be held later. Several new guys are not ready to take their trucks that far, so we’ll start with this simple get-together.)

This GL employee- or whomever came up with the idea- will (could) change the way we view gl auctions. This could be a big improvement for them. These videos are dark and poor production quality- but that will evolve. These guys get my kudos.
How would you like a 'walk around' of the MV as part...
Jan 14 I'll be driving from Ogden, UT (Hill AFB, Clearfield DRMO) to Las Vegas, NV (Mesquite). Long bed Chevy one ton, the bed will be empty. Let me know if you need anything brought down. (I will be at the DRMO on Jan 13th.)
I make the drive back and forth every month or so- usually in the one...
