We departed Gallatin, Saturday, April 30th, 9:30am CST and spent the first night in Boonville, MO. Our second night, Oacoma, SD, and third night, Bozeman, MT. We reached our final destination, Fortine at 4:30pm MST on Tuesday. The total trip was 2,150 miles.

The truck performed quite well but drinks a hell of a lot of fuel. It's a 2008 model GMC with 23K miles. The auto trailer followed straight and true. The gross weight of the vehicle is 20,000 pounds and I'm overweight by 5,500 pounds. Sylvester (brains & stacker), and his crew (George (not me) & Dennis), the brawn, did an excellent job of loading the truck.
