[quote name='Dr. Stinebaugh' post='192540' date='Feb 28 2008, 17:28 ']Frost WV?! Didn't know there was a VFD there, that's about 100 miles further in WV than I've gotten to.
It's a long way from anywhere, and with gas going to $4/gal., it ain't likely for me to get there. I don't know of anyone that's been close, and it may take my friend Mike Sanders getting to go to somewhat nearby Snowshoe Resort on one of his "business" trips to get pics of this place.
BTW, my thanks on posing your Macks for us back in '93 at Rose Tree,PA.

Warren,
I didn't know there was a Frost, WV until they purchased our engine. They came and picked up the engine a day before the big blizzard in 1996. Most of the guys from Frost worked for the WV DOT and had to get home before the blizzard hit so they could plow the roads.
We had a good time at the muster in Rose Tree. On the way make home, we came across a serious MVA on I-95. You should have seen the looks on the PFD FFs faces when they pulled up and we were on scene with our engine and tanker. It was like they had never seen a tanker before.
Thanks for your help obtaining a picture of the 1979 Mack. If you have any contacts with any photographers in Tennessee, we sold our 1973 Mack R / Grumman to a county fire department in the western part of the state. I would be interested to see if it is still there or where it went to.
Thanks again.
Matt
