Today's mini road trip is driving out to the Butler PA Bantam Festival which starts tomorrow.
I am bringing a Scrambler to the show that is the subject of another road trip installment, when George and I drove this borrowed rollback to Texas and back 5 days Memorial Day Weekend 2012.
This was as we left Texas but previous to that we delivered a Porsche to Dallas and then after this pic was taken drove to panhandle of Florida to pick up a j10 which I drove from there.
The brown one some may recognize as the one with the hydraulic hunting blind in it from a previous thread. I kept the blind apparatus and attached it to a small deck trailer and sold the scrambler to a friend in SC.
Picked up an antique roll top desk for the rollback owner near Atlanta. I didn't know till we got it home that it was worth an easy 5-7 thousand
The copper one is an '83 which has 9,932 miles on it and has been mentioned in previous threads also. I am very grateful to a forum member for the lead on these scramblers, working a trade deal for the location scouting. The copper one lived a hard life till around 9000 miles then stored inside after that. It will be the subject of another refresh thread and be my lifetime keeper scrambler that I had been looking for in my signature. I had zero time to mess with it when I got it but have about 60 hours into it over the last few months to get it ready for Bantam. It's loaded in the trailer now and ill be heading out later today.
2:45 am last night:
Cause it's pouring rain now.

In the air westbound again for a quick trip to check out a CJ5, a J20, visit my uncle again, load the J10s with more parts and red eye it home tues night. One of the J10s should be picked up while I am there too.
I've got 4 more hours of flight time so here was another road trip earlier this year, a parts and 85 scrambler grab.
I had bought several parts not easily shippable from a guy in TN like 6 months prior so I had my eye out down there for a reason to run down there. CL Arkansas through a bird dog friend I found this '85. It's a near one owner that sat for a few years after the owner passed away. It was sold as a non runner and I bought it from his daughter. Factory auto and AC. The renegade hood decals were removed and painted on scrambler cause as she explained it, her old man couldn't stand the fact that they no longer said scrambler on the hood ('85 only)
The car port I pulled it out of:
Fueling and airing up:
The weather here was almost 80 and sunny and it was late march. The tail end of the ride home I would go through a snow storm and 3 hours of the most white knuckle ride I had ever experienced.

The running boards were the first thing to go when I got back. 
. I still have them if anyone wants them, they are in my scrap pile.

Bad signs
The last 3 hours took me 7. Flat towing in the snow is just not supposed to happen. Forget going into a service station or turning at all it just pushes you around. I very carefully made it home taking it real slow. And just letting the scrambler push me around. Literally.
And home safe. And crusty. I could hear it rusting

I am Wondering what a scramble cycle is but no that's not me i just collect these things and some how get in trouble by stacking multiple things together in one trip while having a job that takes me away from the northeast rust belt too often
