Got here around 1400. Busy fueling, airing tires, lining up, and fixing trucks. Can't wait for tomorrow. Too bad we don't have more drivers, there are several trucks without drivers!

Now there is a TROOPER hard at work - EH - where is FERRO in that pic ??????

Got the heater core assembly all back together - no leaks - bled - fired up and dang that cab is warm - Zout2 dug out the wool blanket anyhow cause she knows how crappy I work on stuff and she may have to walk in the early am - All pre-tripped as best as possible and may hit the waffle house on the way down if all goes ok - see yaz all in the early morning - at least I'll be able to watch the full moon on the way down.

I gotta tell ya folks, if Adam (Ferro) and John (EMD) had not shown up when they did the CAMO Crew would have been in BIG trouble and the entire mission would have been in jeopardy!!!

Of course we had a plan...but it didn't include being ambushed constantly by real world missions and losing half our "crew" for long periods of time!

We were able to tinker with the gassers that wanted to be cantankerous and whip them into semi-submission, refuel the trucks that needed it and get them lined up in road march order (-) BBQROD's hotrod deuce and Zout's M909.

Here's a few pics:

There are a total of 18 trucks and due to lack of drivers about 10 will be left back at the compound and even more left at CAMO Members homes etc.

Anyhoo...we got most of the banners on the trucks, got them lined up and a few of us were able to go for a good meal.

Hopefully we will have some good pics of the parade sometime tomorrow.

Outstanding time - Thanks to CAMO and crew and an array of MV Iron for other folks to show off. Great crowd this year even on Phoenix City side and lots more young folks. Fantastic spread of chow for everyone afterwards and even the escorts showed up.
