Such is life in le grand bois du nord.

I stand corrected...excavatah. :razz:

No video, but how about a quick picture? I didn't try to use the snowcat (nicknamed 'Pumpkin') to pull the deuce up the mountain, just to pull it about a foot forward so that I could release my poorly thought out anti-slip-into-the-gully chain. I wasn't sure the snowcat could handle pulling that...

I hiked up there today to get the truck either up or down. The access road was free of snow and pretty dry. Looked like things were going to work out. First I walked the rest of the way to my camp to get some supplies. On the way back to the truck it began raining and the road instantly turned...

Didn't quite make it up the hill the next day. My deuce-fu is lacking. Got about 1/3 the way up before she started to slip into the gully. If she goes in, I know I can easily back her out, but there may be some scratch and dent issues. Too nice of a truck to let that happen. :sad: Since good...

So, anyway, the deuce is pretty much home. Still at the bottom of the mountain, but behind a locked gate and awaiting tire chains to complete the final 2 mile crawl uphill in the snow. My butt ached during the first day, but I got used to it by the second. Got tennis elbow trying to drive with...

This truck ran great! Had to take my foot off the pedal a couple of times as the speed crept up to 60mph on the flats. Temp rock solid, oil pressure rock solid, air pressure rock solid, etc. Had to drop to 4th on a couple of the steeper hils. My only real concern was a bit of sponginess to the...

The first day and night I had a lot to deal with, for a deuce newbie at least. My butt sure hurts from the thinly padded seats, but thanks to the air ride feature I didn't bust my tailbone on a couple of potholes. Between that and the rain and traffic, I got worn out pretty quickly and called it...

Because of rain, fogging windows, traffic, and sleep deprivation, I am holding up in Sidney, NY tonight. It's going to be icy in the morning. :-| So far she purrs like a kitten. I've been trying to cruise at an even 50mph on the speedo, but the GPS says I'm actually doing 53. There appears to...

Thanks. Got 'em entered in the GPS. N41.945555 W75.917528 Kublo's Military Surplus 2660 John C. McNamara Drive Brackney, PA, 18812 Phone: (570) 663-2805 Email : kkublo@frontiernet.net Of course I hope to not have any issues that soon into the trip. :|

At about 1400EST tomorrow I will begin driving my new deuce from a friends place in southern NY to my place in northern NH. In order to do this I had to just drop everything at work and will have to pay for it later, but I've got to get this move done ASAP. Being unfamiliar with the truck, I...
