Some pics from the trip. The one with only the car and some plastic in front (covering 2 flatties) was going over the Big Horns west of Sheridan Wy. The other two are somewhere in Montana after picking up a couple of cowls and a roadster body. Had a fun trip and put about 4700 mi on the truck. Was in Neb, S.D., Wy, Mt, N.D. Manitoba, Mn, Wi. and back home over the top through the U.P.

Lived by Sheridan for 14 years and was in the Big Horns many times camping. You must have been near Burgess Junction.

I'm glad the trip went well for you

I already knew that. In fact what I really wanted to do was buy a 32-35 footer. I just wasn't sure I could afford to do that on a fixed income. LOL. If I would have had a bigger trailer I definitely would've had a 27 T cpe on there also.

Are those just things you found along the way, or were you going specifically to pick those up?

Neat looking sedan.

Nice trip, glad you got back in good order. The guide lights and Buick drums alone will probably pay for the trip.

Good thinking but not quite. The gas was $1500, mpg average was 10, plus 3 restaurant meals and 1 night in a hotel. I really did it on the cheap and the sleeper more than paid for itself on the first outing.
