2018 RI Antique Fire Truck Show 9/9 - Johnston RI

[Mack58B42]

I'll be taking my truck on its longest journey yet - up to the annual RIAFAS fire truck show in Johnston.  35 miles by taking 95, but with a top speed of 42, I'll be avoiding the highway.  I'm thinking it's going to be closer to 50 miles each way when all's said and done.  That'll be about a full tank of gas, lol!

If you're bored and within driving distance, there's normally a good mix of Macks that show up...

I was hoping I'd get the '37 Type 25 delivered this weekend, and was thinking that I'd trailer it up there, but that didn't happen, so next time, I guess.

And there's a water source here, so it looks like some pumping will be done.  I don't have good suction hoses or any tools, plus I leak a little oil when running and hot, so my rig will remain parked for show only (at least this time).  Too bad, because it pulls a draft better than most in-service trucks I've drafted with.

I'm thinking Rt 3 to Rt 2 to Rt 5 to Rt 6.  If I could sneak Rt 4 in there somewhere I'd have a straight flush!!
