Post trip report...
Hi,
The trip went great! 700+ miles without incident. I lost about a quart of crankcase oil due weeps, seeps, and creeps as well as out of the road draft tube. I averaged 7.8 m.p.g. on the way up (hills, traffic etc.) and 8.9 mpg on the way home (mostly downhill)

The tent looks good Powerhouse!
Glad you can make it Jay. Too bad you can't bring the MV!
kassim503: Welcome! You can convoy with us off the Island! I'll send you a PM.
Hi,
Thanks for the loud reminder :razz: We all need it. Its important to inspect EVERYTHING and carry out PM.
I just finished a bunch of stuff on my Deuce and that pesky primary fuel/water seperator was at it again. I always take my time to clean everything and oil the o-rings and...
Hi,
10% is a pretty good chance then :-P Maybe the probability of attending will increase now that you know I'm bringing the forgotten coffee kettle. :-D
Thanks for your offer to help.
Reminder to others: Bring a little bit of firewood, any size. I will bring my engine-driven saw...
Hi,
Just for reference I had posted back in 07' when we had to re-string the M819 after the old wire failed during use. It used 105ft. of 9/16" dia. 6 x 19 fiber core wire rope with a nominal strength of 33,000lbs. It had 9/16" dia. before and the pulleys on the boom and sheave match the wire...

Hi,
Welcome....Congrats on your new Deuce! That stinks that you can't make it to the Rally. There are plenty of people there to help you out. Is that stone mill your home? Very cool. I like old industrial buildings. :razz:
Maybe we'll see you out on the road!
To All Pennsylvania...

Wow I didn't realize that was you....I didn't even get a chance to walk over there - too much to see. It was fun.
Its gonna be hard to get up in the morning :beer:
Everyone brings a little bit of everything to sell or trade, I'm sure you'll find something. :hammer:
Wow, thats a longer ride than mine m37_power @ 267 miles.
Maddawg308 comes up from Virginia and I-81 is his main route. You can take I-68/I-70 and meet him at the interchange near Hagerstown, Maryland.
Welcome powersmoke18. Where/how far are you travelling from? We reserved Sunday as a travel day for those with long rides home but I'm sure the more local folks would offroad Sunday.
I hope to see you there!
Hi,
Welcome JeeperDave & m37_power!! Yes you can come in any 4x4. You can ride your own or take a ride in someone's MV, doesn't matter. JeeperDave if your coming Friday afternoon just be sure you check in at the office. It looks to be an hour and a half ride for you.
m37_power we'll...

Hi,
