New Jersey to Nevada

I'm making my 16th trip from NJ to NV, this time in an M1009. I've done it five times in my Unimog, three in a Mitsubishi FM, two in a moving truck, and the rest in a pickup. It's a long an boring ride along I-70 but this time I am taking I-80 and making a pit stop in Wyoming for a couple days.

If anyone sees me on the road, honk, give me the finger, throw stuff, or whatever. Just as long as you appreciate the green iron!

Have a great trip Mike and say hello to Dale when you get to Eureka.

Bjorn,

See you in Aberdeen!

Hey be sure to post pics from along the route and keep us informed as you travel!

I love long road trips. Its just too hard leaving the wife and kids now. Have a safe trip.

Pictures along the way? Ugh. I've made this trip too many times for it to be interesting enough to stop and take pictures! Besides, this isn't a pleasure trip. I need to get out to Wyoming first and join my girlfriend who is flying out there. She's into wild horses and photographs them. After that, I need to get to a job in eastern Nevada.

safe trip Mike! See ya in a couple of days

Have a safe trip, good luck with the job hunt. How about a nice photo of wild horses with green iron in the foreground?

Well, I've cancelled my trip. I've decided to stay in NJ and build my business here. There's just more money and opportunities than where I am in Nevada. Besides, there's lots more OD Iron on the east too!

I'll probably make a short run at the end of June to get supplies from Nevada. I might be able to haul some small stuff if anyone needs it.

Well Mike made it to NV and on his return trip he stopped by my place.
Here he is with that impressive M1009 (the tire in the roof rack is for the 8x8, which he brought from OK).
He is leaving this morning for NJ.

That should be a semi comfortable ride in the M1009.

Semi comfortable? Heck, it was really nice after I put in a Freightliner seat with arm rests! I'll post a trip report soon. I think I logged about 7,000 miles in my M1009 in three weeks.

Bjorn...thanks for the hot and a cot! Great collection of stuff you have!
