I had a few more targets in Pennsylvania, but none of them panned out.  I spent the night in Bridgeport, WV.  As I was leaving the hotel the next morning, I spotted a new fire station about a quarter mile away.  Even though it was early, the bay doors were open, so I went.

My final stop for the trip was Bradley-Prosperiity, WV.  A few changes/additions to the fleet have happened since my last visit.  The first rig was a demo when new, but I believe served at another FD before going to Bradley-Prosperity.  A unique feature of this rig is the pump is controlled by a removable hand-held device.

In the weeks that followed, I caught a few local recent deliveries.

My next venture ran from September 23rd to the 30th.  I met up with "The Silent One" in Anderson County, SC around 11AM and we visited about a dozen stations that day.  Unfortunately, we only found someone at three of them.

On Sunday, we went north into western North Carolina, circling back through the northeast tip of Georgia.  We had numerous targets, but most were volunteer.  We stopped at over ten departments, but only had success at four.
