Left Monday evening around 7pm drove straight through to Drum arrived at 8am. Took a little bit to find the yard, if you ever get lost just look for the big steam plant chimney and head for that. Met with Kevin and signed in, located the pickup and blazer, pickup started right up, blazer started with a jump. Hooked one of the M103 trailers to the truck, then Kevin stacked the second one on top, drove the truck/trailers onto the trailer and tied it down. No room to spare, had to lift the trailer with the forks to get the ramps unhooked from the trailer, a tight fit for sure. Not much to preview in the yard, all awaiting pickup mostly. A few items were back up for sale due to denied euc's. One was the 5 ton dump and the clean M101A3 trailer. Headed back for Maine around 9:30 and drove straight back with only fuel stops. Had to be back to work Wednesday morning. Arrived home 1am Wednesday, blazer drove great, load on the truck rode well and stayed secure. M1008 had 22k original miles, very clean, minor surface rust from sitting, bad news was discovered after driving it the rear driveshaft was bent, that's number two for me. Blazer is interesting as I discovered some paperwork in the glovebox indicating it came from 286QM and bumper number QM12, this was in my unit when I retired 3 years ago and I recall driving this very truck! Thanks for all the offers of help and support, another great GL recovery.
