1st official parade run of 2016. We hauled the WW11 Dodge out to a staging area 22km's, uphill from the Stony Plain Heritage Days parade route. We didn't have time to be on time...but we had time to stop for coffee.

The Dodge hooked up with 3 Deuces and uphill we went.

The parade route was packed. Somewhere in the crowd was a ton of family who said it took nearly 2 hours for the fleet of MV's, tractors, firetrucks and so many more folks entertaining this little town 30 miles west of Edmonton. Our local MVPA group was representing the Stony Plain legion and what an honour to carry so many decorated Veterans.

The Dodge decided it wanted to try and drive the 50 miles back home. With only 20 miles to go, just at the right moment, in heavy traffic, on one of the busiest 3 lane freeways running through Edmonton, the Dodge decided to park. As per typical protocol, we always travel with at least 2 units. The Iltis and the Dodge command car were in convoy and Iltis managed to tug the Dodge to a safe loading spot. The recovery truck and trailer in Canadian Flag colours responded from 40 miles away and carried the spoiled little Dodge home.
