PNW Info Thread!

[kurtkds]

I've got an extra 105 that I'm willing to part with if you're interested.

 

[DrillerSurplus]

Looking for a little help here. We used to go to the field with one of our 5-tons outfitted with a box that was used for our flight's Tactical Operations Center (TOC). I keep looking on GL for one of those boxes, but Dont know what the nomenclature (or even the common name) for them are. If anyone knows what those boxes / containers are called, I'd appreciate hearing. Thanks.

Maybe I missed them, I didn't see any responses to your question. I think you are remembering the S-280 shelter or something similar.

Hey guys, just found the PNW page. I'm in Salem, OR. Good to see there are some others around here with the same illness!

So we need a mini rally soon...After the first of the year get ready for some dates thrown out there to schedule one!

Welcome aboard tagoins! Need to come to the summer rally which is the 3rd weeekend in july!

 

[tagoins888]

Thanks Scott. The summer rally sounds good. I've been trying to get the truck out once a week and drive it, so I'll take any excuse I can!

I wish I could go to one of the Rallies but Transportation is a issue

If there is any interest, the 1st Sgt. was wanting to do a two or three day convoy around the Loop, that is Highway 101 and the Olympic Penninsula some time this summer. We would probably camp out a night or two during the course of this excursion. If some would like to go, we will start looking at dates.
So far there is 70th Anniversary of D-Day, Normandy France June 6, Olympic Flight Museum Airshow on Fathers day weekend, 4th of July in Centralia (display and Parade), am thinking Arlington Airshow would be the weekend after, then Napavine the 3rd Weekend, Ft. Stevens 3rd Weekend of August.

Anyone want to do an Olympic Penninsula convoy some weekend? P

Count me in Peter. I was on 101 and 109 today would be fun in a truck hahahahh

 

[wsucougarx]

Sounds like fun. A good MV drive would be from Humptulips to the Wynoochee Dam via Donkey Creek Road. It is a beautiful drive mostly on a paved logging road. Would be a great one 1 day drive. It'll take you through from beautiful timber country in the Olympia National Forest.

 

[Amer-team]

Sounds like a nice day excursion. The 101 Loop trip would probably be somewhere around 350 miles, plus or minus. Am not sure I can squeeze another trip in. so far this year I have done 25 outreaches, doing vehicles or military history displays and have 2 more to go.

FYI I posted in a seprate thread..
Myself and another friend who recently bought a 5ton and another guy who got a Deuce are wanting to make a drive somewhere on SAT late AM..

[Another Ahab]

OK guys here's our very own thread for upcoming events and information pertaining to PNW SS's. Was hoping to have a separate PNW regional chapter but this will do for now

Subscribed. Count me in.

Hoping you don't leave all the rest of us out of whatever it is that you're up to.

We like to know what's going on in our greater community, whether that's here in the Good Ol' USA, or anywhere else in the world where the membership stretches.

 

[Wolfen]

Unfortunately you can pretty much count me out since I can't drive outside of Oregon.

 

[goodguyzy]

Have it in Southern Oregon and Im in. [HR][/HR]

 

[rolling18]

Aww how come? we dont plan on leaving OR....

 

[dodgedougak]

Happy Thanksgiving to the PNW troops!

 

[jets1959]

The only weekend I have in January is the 17th through 19th! Hopefully, this weekend will be the one for a mini rally!

 

[Amer-team]

That might be a possible for me. Meet in Olympia and have burgers?

 

[rolling18]

id be down for that:...

I'm heading to JBLM this week to pick up an m105a2. I was wondering if I could get contact info for a few local folks in case of emergency. I do not believe I will need to but if something happens that I cannot fix on the road or find parts for I would like to be able to park the trailer somewhere for a few days if needed. I will have a spare or 2 and will be checking the bearings and tires before going anywhere. I'd rather set this up now than from the side of the road.

Also if anyone needs something picked up from the Seattle area I will have most of the bed of my truck. I can meet you along I90 up to Ellensburg.
