UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500.

(02/06/2019) I’m guessing it doesn’t run?

“Former Joshua, TX firetruck. I’m not sure what fire apparatus it originally had on the back. I bought this just over 5 years ago in west Texas. It’s been garaged the entire 5 years it’s been in Michigan. The body has some but very little rust, a few dents and dings, and the frame is in great shape. It has a 4-speed transmission, which I’m not sure is original to this VIN. I have a transfer case for it and Warn Overdrive. The Jayhawk dump apparatus on the frame is included, however it is not original to this truck. I have all components for the Jayhawk. I have a clear Michigan title in my name. ”

“The Oregon Trail” by Rinker Buck

My son bought me The Oregon Trailer: A New American Journey by Rinker Buck for my birthday. I just finished reading it and really enjoyed it.

The book’s author, Rinker Buck, is a New England columnist who decided he wanted to do a crazyass (his description) thing: drive the Oregon trail in a covered wagon. To my surprise, it turns out that, despite all the Oregon Trail re-enactments, there had been no documented drive of a wagon from Missouri to Oregon since 1910 when Ezra Meeker did it at the age of 80 (Ezra’s credited with igniting interest in saving the trail back in the early 1900s). So, in 2011, Rinker and his brother Nick (along with Nick’s Jack Russel Terrier Olive Oyl) set out for Oregon with a 3-mule team, a wagon, and a trailer.

As Rinker shares the success and failures of his adventure, he also delves into the history of wagons, pioneer emigrants, famous landmarks, and important events that have shaped the trail.
