Well I'm home from the 22nd Annual International Dodge Power Wagon Rally in
Fairfield Iowa. Had a great time and enjoyed it all. 3 of the 4
days I spent some time at the Kerr Farm, and with the weather changes, the
trails changed as well, which was great. The WC's tried to cut a new
trail right where a tree stood, and this time the tree was large enough to
win. Roger made it out with Elmo and Pieter even got to drive it!
There were some beautiful trucks, as I've posted a few of my favorites here.
We had a special visit by a Chrysler Engineer who brought out a test unit of
the 2010 Dodge Power Wagon. In addition to giving us a good luck, we
also got some demonstrations. this year with lower air pressures in the
tires, I did even better on the articulation Ramp. Oh I also came in
3rd at the teeter board competition with a time of 31 seconds! (hope
to get a picture from someone of that) Running through the swamp was
fun, it was over 24" deep as evident by my submerged exhaust pipe. I'm
not sure how many days or weeks it will be before Mike can wipe the grin off
his face, but he had a great time at the Kerr Farm, ask him about if you see
him Odometer started out with 1,406 miles, so I went 101 miles and
27.6 gallons for 3.7 MPG!. 06/14/2009 |
