Hi all,

Its ill advised, but I am going to try it regardless.

I'm going to pick up a '94 M1079 from Ft Lewis-McChord late next week, spend a day at my sisters going over it in Seattle and then drive it back to Rochester, MN. I hoping to find some safe ports along the way in case of issues. Possibly a place to 'limp to if needed, that won't mind a stranger turning wrenches in the driveway. In a catastrophic extreme case, a place to park it while arranging/waiting for shipping. The intent is driving it back, but having a back up plan seems prudent. Only planning to stop at truck stops... unless there's problems. I not looking for lodging or free meals, just emergency contacts along I90 through WA, MT, WY, SD and most of MN.

I'm on the East side of Spokane just off of I-90 almost to the Idaho border. If you have any problems in my neck of the woods let me know and I'll see what I can do to help. Good luck on your trip.

If you're still stuck there in two months, I should be going through that way. I might be in the market for a "ran when parked" M1079 :lol:

Just kidding, best of luck on the trip, take lots of pictures (like with a dash cam, or when you're stopped of course). [thumbzup]

Godspeed and care! Lots of miles. LOTS of good S.S. members too, so stay in touch! Might contact other members that have that type of vehicle and ask about common/frequent trouble spots they are prone to have. Suggest a large credit card limit. ENJOY the trip!! It'll be an adventure anyway you look at it!
