Anyone live in Vernon, Tx?

While driving through the area, noticed a few heavy MVs, maybe 2 Deuces and a 5-ton, all Vietnam green with large stars on the doors. This was right off of US-287 on the south-bound side. Noticed the trucks out of the corner of my eye, so figured I'd post up and see if anyone knew about em.

I will be going there on Saturday. Perhaps some pics will follow.

It's just north of the big grain towers on the north bound side, before a sweeping turn IIRC

You find anything out there this weekend?

Unexpected business delayed me. I will try in a couple of weeks. I am on my way to Tennessee this weekend.

I was going to tell y'all that on your way to vernon, there is a place of interest about 8 - 10 miles North of Decatur on US287, south side of road. This place had numerous m35's as well as some other MV stuff. There was also a HUGE trashed out helicopter at this joint. Looked like a foreign military bird but the trucks were definately US. Didnt see a phone number or sign on the place. I was on a train and since this wasnt my regular run, I probably wont make it back up that way for a while. Might be worth checking into.

It belongs to a collector friend of Mark at Rapco. Not a commercial location.
