Me and my little furry buddy will be leaving AL at O'dark thirty Monday morning enroute to ZiggyO's new LZ in NE.

I will be dropping off REBROWN's van trailer in Mount Vernon, IL and continuing on to REB87's place in Nebraska to drop off a ROPS and pick up a trailer.

Once I drop the trailer in IL I will be able to pull a pintle trailer or a 5th wheel trailer westbound.

The intent of this trip is to get BIGHURT's truck and trailer to ZiggyO's place where he willl meet up with me to claim his M915.

If anyone on the route needs something moved I will do it for some fuel money. Any funds generated will help cover the cost of the trip for BIGHURT.

My route from IL will be I-64 west to St. Louis to I-70 west to Kansas City to I-29 north, once in Iowa I will hit HWY 2 west to Lincoln and pick up I-80 to the 353 exit (Hwy 81) and up to REB's place.

If you are along this route and need a trailer moved let me know.

I would also appreciate come contact numbers if anyone is available for emergency assistance.

Me and Elmo thank you for your support.

No grass grows under wreckerman.

He's busier in retirement than he was when he worked!

Shoot, I wish I would have known you were coming up this way. I would have been bidding like crazy on stuff from AL.

I have a Deuce in Chyenne I need picked up and delivered in Michigan if you could swing it. I am patient. I will hit you off way better than fuel money...
I am meeting BIGHURT in NE and he is taking the truck back to ND.

Me and Elmo are flying home from Omaha.

One trip at a time is about all I can stand.

Be safe MSG, if you get into trouble, I will be in north IL towards the latter part of the week getting my two dump trucks, and a set of skid steer tracks. Goodluck!

I checked some DOT websites and I have adjusted my route to avoid flooded areas.

Looks like I may run 70 west into Kansas past Topeka and then cut north on the two lanes till I pick up Hwy 81 north. That will take me into Nebraska and on to REB87's.

There are alternate methods for removing the pelt of the feline mammal...there is, however, no way to make him relish the process. :mrgreen:

You can take I-70 to Salina (Glen-91W350's AO) turn north and run 81 straight up to Reb87's. Going north is 70mph till the Neb border but it is not busy at all.

Edit: When is this trip taking place? I'm about 15 miles north of I-70 between hwy 99 and 177
