dells68 7,498 #1 Posted September 5, 2020 Well, we’re at it again! Emory and I along with our friends Noe and Clay are on our way out west. We left home at 3:00am and are now about an hour out of St Louis. We’re going to see the Gateway Arch with our boys before we continue our journey. We are delivering 2 tractors for a friend and picking one up. I’ll not disclose what we’re transporting until my friend receives them. I picked them up in middle Va for him last week. This has proven a great trip for all four of us as a guy get away!! 4 6 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

8ntruck 6,991 #6 Posted September 6, 2020 Is the dryer drum ride to the observation deck in the top of the arch open, or is it shut down for covid? The view from up there is pretty good. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dells68 7,498 #8 Posted September 7, 2020 Started our return trip home today after visiting Farmall-Land tractor museum. We’re still in Iowa and will probably spend the night. We’ve seen some beautiful territory and Emory is even coming home with a 702 of his own! 8 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dells68 7,498 #20 Posted September 10, 2020 I finally had a chance to unload our tractors we brought back from Iowa. Of course Emory had to jump on and get his picture taken. We picked up a 58rj modified with two fuel tanks and a 702. We also picked up a couple of grader blades, a Cub cadet fuel tank, and a disc. This really was an awesome trip! We enjoyed seeing everything, going to Farmall Land USA, visiting the Iowa 80 truck stop, seeing Antique Archaeology, and the Gateway Arch. Quick trip, but quality time with our friends and seeing Wheel Horse friends!! 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
