Well was able to get the truck on Sunday , the trip was interesting with all the snow and fog situations. Should have been five hours both ways turned into about a total of thirteen hours driving in one day. Here is what happened when I got there. The owner had messaged me and said to park out on main road and not to come down the driveway with trailer. With all the snow there was no where to turn around up by the house. So when I got there the road out front was a two lane road with my truck and trailer taking up the right lane. There was no side of road because the snow was piled on both sides about six feet high. He was walking down the long drive and I yelled up " Is it O.K. to park here in middle of road - he said no problem we only get a car or two a day that goes by". So I started to walk up the driveway with him and as we were talking he had two dogs running around playing in the snow. Next thing I knew was that I was being flipped upside down and landed on my head and shoulder in the middle of a hard packed snow driveway. The large dog cut me down from behind at a full run like a linebacker clipping someone from behind. I was in pain and took a few minutes to get myself back together.

After getting it loaded up on the road I felt the pain from the spill the next six hours driving back. Not a great way to end the day, but made it back safe and sound. Here is a picture of the truck loaded up when I stopped for a break and some lunch in Baker City Oregon.
