[quote name='1949ALF' post='94495' date='Apr 4 2007, 19:48 ']Greetings from somewhere in Arkansas. We're going to try and go a couple hundred more miles before turning in tonight. We'll see.
Daaad ... I'm still trying to get home in time for the meeting. <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_lalala.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />[/quote]

Nice pictures, Trina. Looks like an interesting trip to say the least. It kind of has me looking forward to my trip in June. Talk to you after you get home. <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/fireman.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />
The daily update is coming! I had to go to a meeting tonight right as we got into town. Then we made someone's (<img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />) night by letting them drive their first Crown Firecoach after many years of only plugging around in an old ALF. That said, we just walked in the door about half an hour ago, all in one piece. I'll add more pictures from the trip when I get a chance.

Good to hear everyone made it in one piece !! I got a pic I am going to send you and Mario. I got a pic of my Crown sans the top. See what you think.

I'll try to post the rest of the pictures from along the way over the weekend. It's time to sit back and relax for a while!
I added pictures from the last two days of our road trip to the website. There's still a handful of pictures to add, but those can wait for now. <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/ph34r.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />

The only thing better than that is an American LaFrance 700 Series on the open road. Oops. Did I just say that? <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />
[quote name='SLCPDEXPLORER' post='95541' date='Apr 7 2007, 23:14 ']Glad to hear the trip went well. Were you able to stop anywhere in Missouri, or did you just pass straight through?[/quote]
We buzzed straight through Missouri (and Illinois, Southern Indiana, etc.). I didn't realize that we actually weren't going to pass into Sikeston where you had suggested stopping. We cut off just before entering the city limits.
With the tire incident in Arizona and a couple of other stops we made along the way, we ended up a day behind our original schedule. I had a meeting Thursday evening that I wanted to get home in time for, so it was rush-rush-rush come Thursday morning!

The weather was as nice as any muster-goer could ask for today at the Truck and Tractor Show in Shepherdsville, Kentucky. This event was held by the Derby City Chapter of SPAAMFAA.
It was a pleasant 200+ mile roundtrip drive, too. <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />

Great pics. Does the Crown want to head back to the beaches in southern california yet? How long will it stay up there? Check out some pics I took from Saturday. Our fire truck club went to a Phillies farm team's game here in Clearwater and brought some of the fire trucks. We had a good time.

It's been pretty happy with its new surroundings so far. It had a lot of admirers on Saturday, not to mention the one resident admirer it's had here since it arrived. It'll be in Indiana from here on out, unless we move. <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/fireman.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />
