The Fun Has Begun!

I went to pickup the M37 I bought on Oct.27 this weekend<img src="emoticons/icon_smile_big.gif" alt="Big Smile"> A mere 750 mile round trip, well when I left a 6:00AM it was snowing lightly. That changed pretty fast<img src="emoticons/icon_smile_shock.gif" alt="Shock"> By the time I hit I80 in Wyoming it was a ground blizzard <img src="emoticons/icon_smile_sad.gif" alt="Sad"> If you have never traveled the Interstate in Wy they have "Windsocks" like at the airports along the highway<img src="emoticons/icon_smile_shock.gif" alt="Shock"> And those babies were straight out<img src="emoticons/icon_smile_sad.gif" alt="Sad"> Well I got to where I was going, hours late but who cares! I got my M37<img src="emoticons/icon_smile_smokin.gif" alt="Smokin'"><img src="emoticons/icon_smile_approve.gif" alt="Approve"> I'm on my way, I get to Cheyenne, I get on I I80 and right in front of me a gate goes down and the highway is closed<img src="emoticons/icon_smile_angry.gif" alt="Angry"> I wait about 1 1/2 hours and nothing. So I get a room in Cheyenne, but its ok I have my new truck<img src="emoticons/icon_smile_big.gif" alt="Big Smile"><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v126/da_sgt/M37/Snow.jpg" border="0">
When the morning came I80 was still closed, so I decided to take I25 south To I70 and over the Mountains. This is what I25 looked like<img src="emoticons/icon_smile_shock.gif" alt="Shock">

To my surprise The storm missed all the mountain passes and the roads were dry<img src="emoticons/icon_smile_big.gif" alt="Big Smile"> So the fun started long before it should have, but we made it<img src="emoticons/icon_smile_approve.gif" alt="Approve">

I think I will be doing a "frame off" so look for posts here and in the paint and restoration forums<img src="emoticons/icon_smile_thumzup.gif" alt="Thumb Up"><img src="emoticons/icon_smile_wink.gif" alt="Wink">

Wow what a trip! Sounds like you had plenty of action! Glad to see you made it home safely. I'll keep an eye on your progress too. Sounds like a relaxing (at least to me) project you can really enjoy. Keep us posted!

You've gotta love Wyoming's weather. It's even funner when you use a deuce as a daily driver in it. Make's people think your crazy when you go over the summit in a blizzard in the ole beast. I like the ol' dodge too.
