So begins my latest ill-conceived trip. I'm leaving momentarily , driving my M923A2 and towing Carnac's M101. First destination is Carnac's to return his trailer and hand off some goodies to pass down the line.

I'll update this with pics at each trivial little stop.

First stop - the rest area at exit 319 on I 10 EB. TX canyon in AZ. I like this place and stop here every time I drive through.

I love that rest stop too. Fabulous view from there, especially if the monsoon storms are rolling about. Safe travels.

Thanks 98G! I'm digging this thread already. God bless the internet so I can live vicariously through others' adventures

 

[M35A2-AZ]

Texas Canyon always a good place to stop. Have a safe trip!!!

Used to pass through Texas Canyon twice a week when I ran West Coast years ago.

I hear I-10 is dorked up due to a flash flood. Ya got to hate that.

And now I've made it to Antony TX. I've spent many a night asleep here in the truck. Carnac is on his way to meet me here and we'll be handing stuff off shortly....

Looking forward to pics of the new truck. I think you need a sign on your rig that says "flash to pass".

 

[Rustyshackelford]

And i ain't talking about headlights. At least not those kind.

Some pics from the rest area at exit 19 on NB I 25. ..

Made it to rgs20inophir 's about 90 min ago.

The only issue with the truck so far is the fuel cutoff required a zip tie. Fortunately Carnac had one available and prevented me from resorting to duct tape.

Keep on Truckin

I don't know how you do that without AC. That heat kills me

 

[98G]

AC

 

[OilfieldRoughneck]

AC

Is that a rag on ice in a kitty litter container?

 

[Valence]

AC

And I thought he was going to have something like this:

[98G]

That'd be a bucket of water (starts out as ice) and several cloths. One on each leg, one on my head, rotate them frequently. Cat litter buckets are not in short supply at my house, and the size and shape fit....

 

[98G]

Getting back on the road. I cut the zip tie off the fuel solenoid at shutdown last night and it was not required this morning. Truck started at the first hint of a flip.

Hope all goes well & you have fun! Good luck with your truck recovery!!
