Now THATS cool!!!!!

Did you read where they originally wanted to pull authentic covered wagons? Thank goodness that reason prevailed and they went with camping trailers. These tractors they are using remind me of the Massey Ferguson tractor/car of the 1930's. Looks to be a pretty cool machine!

Very interesting hobby..

Interesting loop around Indiana - Michigan - Ohio. They will be coming pretty close to us, Archbold is less than an hours drive from here. Would be interesting to catch up with them on the route.

bontai Joe · 06-12-2009, 12:41 PM

Just a reminder that this is happening soon.

According to their trip diary, their tractors were loaded in May with an arrival time of mid June, but then no news since then? Anyone hear anything?

I haven't actually heard anything but if I remember correctly they are supposed to be at the Penfield Illinois show this weekend. Their is a thread going on about it right now, put a post up there and see if anyone has seen them there.
