I should have remembered it gets all frozen north of here.

It was a in reference to my visit to Wayne's last year, while on the way to Edmonton, in May or June (so not winter). When I left the main highway, my car was red. When I returned to the highway a few hours later, it was two-tone: upper red, but from the windows down ... grey/brown mud!!

Still, well worth the deviation to catch up with Wayne and family. Just a pity I didn't get to Shilo as planned.

Mike

As Rob correctly points out, the best time to travel my road is between November and March when it is frozen solid. But as you know Mike, its inevitable this truck will get dirty. I think you experienced one of the worst days... I promise it wont be that bad next time. However, I can't guarantee you wont rub elbows with some of the local deer again. I've mingled with a few myself this year.

But at least one of those was a Manitoban deer.



Taking military vehicles out of the province should be controlled. But killing deer in this province is doing the motorists a favor.

Yes, and I have to say that one deer from Manitoba caused more destruction than the other two Alberta deer combined!

Haven’t had as much time as I would like to work on the truck, but I did get the rear wiring harness completed up to the front right fender area. Once I match up the front harness I can terminate the rear harness at the correct length. Today I was able to put the cab back into position. Working on the cargo box now.

Thanks David. Another step last night with getting the sides on the cargo box. Lots to pick away at now, as I can connect the wiring and controls. I’m also rebuilding the steering box with new bearings gaskets and seals.
