Unexciting roadtrip with junkyard pics...
Had high hopes on my Texas/OK trip. Had some new area to explore, rooms booked and the weather looks decent for the most part. Until day 2... Clip broke on the trans cooler line and left me along side the highway. 3 hours later get a tow truck that can haul my 01 2500 hd and my 20' trailer. GM dealer gets me up and going the next morning. Not too far behind schedule so i can still try to make it. 52 miles down the road and the other line went. Need another tow truck... I tell you what, there is alot of smoke when trans fluid hits the exhaust. It was dripping off the whole pass side of my truck AND trailer... both times.
Start cancelling rooms and rebooking to salvage some of the trip. Made it to the Duncan OK swap on friday, but didn't find much. Hit the road back home sat am trying not to get caught in the storms from OK to MN. Got to northern IA and had to get a room because of the weather... Got home sun about noon just as the snow was starting. I think it still beats working. Enjoy.
