This wraps up the annual June Carolina's trip. 88 rigs in 4 days.

In between the Carolina's trip in June and the Michigan trip in July, I photographed one rig in Georgia. Even though this is a 2024 delivery, it only entered service a week or so before I took the photo.

For many years I have heard about the annual antique fire apparatus muster in Frankenmuth, MI. This year, I decided to attend. It would be a two day event and I took two days of travel time each way, with several planned stops along the way. I left the house before 6AM on Wednesday (July 22nd) and drove straight to the Knoxville area before my first stop.
