I'd be real interested in knowing what the chassis designation is on the green trailer. HMMWV stock but -A2 style axle. Looks like it would probably be the M116A2E1.

"Sierra Army Depot is a munitions disposal site for the United States Army. It is licensed in California and operated by a civilian contractor working for the U.S. Army. SIAD is engaged in the open burning of munitions, a process that releases many know toxins into the air, including heavy metals, dioxin, PCB, and fiberglass. For more than 30 years, Sierra Army Depot has been exploding and burning millions of pounds of unwanted bombs, bullets, rocket engines and other munitions in open pits. Yearly, more than 53 million pounds of explosives are detonated."

Does anyone else have plans on going to Herlong soon? If so would you be able to check on lots 35, 38 and 108 from event 5165 for me?

Also have any first time EUC submitters been approved yet from this auction?
