From one border to the other in a deuce and m105

Getting ready to move from Midland Texas up to Bellingham Washington. I'll be driving the m35a2 with cargo cover and a m105 in tow. Camping out of the deuce and all the stuff I'm bringing with me will be in the trailer.

Planning to camp for most of the trip.

That'll be a pretty cool trip. Keep us informed and post lots of pictures. Be safe and enjoy.

That should be fun. Doing it alone or with co-pilot?

Lots of pics will be coming!

Making the trip solo.

Should be an interesting trip for sure. Stay safe.

So does that mean you sold your pick-up truck and will not have another driver/vehicle following you?

Still have the pickup for sale.

Correct no chase vehicle

Make sure you can stay in touch witb us. Never know when you might need an errant part. Our own cranetruck did VA to CA and back in a deuce.

Best of luck on the trip..sounds like fun,,,

God Bless and have safe trip and have fun.Al

Sounds like a big adventure for the spring. Even though I'm on the East coast, keep us posted as to your progress, maybe Murphy will stay here & not bother you during you trip.

Make sure you do a brake check before you hit the downgrades in the Rockies and Cascades . Safe trip.

Brakes would be a good thing in the mountains haha.

Sounds like a plan...have a safe and fun trip.

G'day everyone,...

Aussie.

We'll be watching the updates on your progress. Looks like your route takes you through Cloudcroft NM then down the grade to Almagordo. That is a 6% grade for 16 miles if I remember correctly from our trip to retrieve one of our Cletracs. Best to make sure the brakes are top-notch on yer wagon. Fantastic drive and nice scenery--be sure to honk the horn going through the tunnel!

I have relatives in Socorro I could contact if you need assistance along that area.

If your route takes you up HWY 55 north from Boise then up US95 to the north end of Idaho, we are about 100 miles north of Boise if you need help or just need to take a break.
