Thanks much for letting me ride several times in your M37! I really enojoyed it and thanks for your work on the trails. I finally got home after a 3-1/2 hour drive and only broke down once on the return trip in my A3. I broke down twice on the way down. Still haven't completely unloaded. I need...
The A3 is all packed and loaded up. Departing Hiawassee at 0900 and meeting redthegreendog in Baldwin. From there we meet up with Gunnermac and Streamline in Danielsville at 1200, and possibly some others. Should arrive around 1300 - 1330. I had one hickup. When I went to load the A3, one...
It's still pouring down rain here in Hiawassee! I bought me a new rainsuit today, otherwise loading the truck would be impossible. My bows are in place, so I'll hang a tarp over the truck, clean the water and leaves out of the bed and lay another tarp on the bottom. Then, load my stuff and...
The convoy from North GA is now growing again. Redthegreendog will be joining up in Baldwin. Another truck may be joining me in Hiawassee. Anyone else wanting to join the convoy, let us know.
Well, I finally got my steering air leak fixed on the A3. Haven't loaded anything yet, but have most of it staged for loading. Been doing PM, topping off fluids, air in tires, etc. I can't load yet because although it is bright sun now, it's supposed to start raining in a few hours and...
Well, I guess I couldn't wait any longer. I flew my Cessna 152 down to Durhamtown and took some pretty lousy photos from the air with my cell phone. No MVs in sight yet, but that will change shortly. There was a very large fire very close to Durhamtown and the smoke made visibility poor, making...
If it's not one thing, it's another! I was doing my final PM on the A3, hitched up the water buffalo and was going to take it for a drive. Ker-pow! An airline on the air assisted steering blew, right where the tight bend is where it connects to the actuator. Instant pressure drop to zero...
This probably won't help you out because of the size, but I can get you MS27684-8 milspec drums that are painted semigloss OD. These are new, open-top drums including the top and ring. The downside is that they are 12-gallon, not 55, so I doubt you can use them. Also, I would need to have...
Carnac, you need to convince Jewell to come on down Thursday afternoon. I know he's tied up Friday afternoon and the weekend, but he could spend Thursday night. I offered him a free bunk in one of the cabins. I'm not sure if he's gotten his Deuce brakes fixed yet or not.
Will you need a...
I finally got my A3 hub and CTIS back together today so I'll be drving it to the rally. I took it on a 25 mile checkout drive and had no problems, so I should be good to go. I had my A2 ready as a backup just in case. I planned on having the A3 looking better, but I ended up spending all my...
Sterlun may be joining the convoy in Hiawassee, coming in from Morganton. Streamline will be joining the North Georgia Convoy in Danielsville. We're now up to four confirmed trucks and one possible.
Convoy From North Georgia
We are putting the finishing touches on the convoy from North Georgia. I will be leaving Hiawassee, GA on Thursday mornhing at 0730 for the rally in my M35A3, pulling my M149A2. We will join up at the Ingles in downtown Hiawassee. We will then pick up another A3 in...
I''m leaving Hiawassee Thursday morning, joining someone in Demorest and another truck near Athens. You are welcome to join us, but you are probably too far away.
Best to bring flip-flops for that shower. Anyone see the chocolate candy with nuts scattered around on the wet floor in the puddle by the toilet last year? I almost ran out the door until I figured out what it was!
Clinto, I will be coming from North Georgia, departing Thursday morning from Hiawassee. I know there are several others that have indicated they may be departing from North Georgia as well and some on Thursday. It would be very easy for MVs from East Tennessee, Western North Carolina, North...
I already got a cabin reserved this year - reserved it early as I knew they would go fast. I know last year some cabins became available at the last minute when some cancellations came it. Probably worth while calling them every once in a while if someone still wants a cabin.
