Perfect timing as we're going through Chattanooga at quiting time and need everyone of those signs lol. Oh well, it's just giving people more time to look at us and wish they were us and having an adventure like we are.
That's for sure! It's long, mostly green and goes slow, a real eye catcher we are! We got a lot of long looks driving through Ft. Campbell. Looks of confusion from the young GI's running PT. And looks of interest from the old guys driving around in their cars, like they were remembering a time...
The mountain pass on I-24 EB, west of Chattanooga, was a bear going up with no third slow truck lane like they have on the WB side. The gear of choice was low range/4th gear at 20 mph, of course it helped to have someone shifting the trans while the driver was going in and out of low range. Then...
The box is in good shape overall. No holes, some rust, all windows are there. The front vent was left open at some time, so there is water damage to the wood floor there. Should work great as a trailer/sleeping room. I'm going to swap the Deuce rear axles out for the M200 gen trailer dually...

The tire was flat and would not hold air, so it's getting a free ride right now.

We made it to Oak Grove, KY from Lakeland, FL after 748 miles at a moving average of 53 mph and 14 rolling hours. That bed will full good tonight, because tomorrow we do out all over again X 2.
Till then, Rick & Phill
Nope, staying in a Days Inn right off base. Its got a shower and a soft bed lol
Just drove past Nashville. I'd sing you a country song but I don't think you could hear me inside this loud cab.
Your good Kenny, just ran over the Tennessee state line and we're on I-24 with lots of traffic cause their doing road work on a hot July, Sunday afternoon. We'll see what happens. aua
