Have tried to find pickel meadow memories on facebook with no luck :-(
Will keep trying..
Jimmy Webb that name sounds familiar to me..I know you but can't picture you..old age clouds the memory..We over at motor t had a great bunch of guys there, to bad the equipment wasn't..Starkey, Stansberry, Chuck Noftsker from colorado, the 2 brain dead half brothers Harry Lauderdale and Paul Wubbles. Wonder what ever happened to them..Loved each other but had no respect for each other..Anyone remember the night they rolled the pickup truck up on 395 in the Minden area into the river? Sgt Jones...Who's favorite saying was " Happy Trails putt putt mother*******"
Sgt.Cline and his wife Terri ( beaner)...Heard Herbie died not sure if its true or from what..
Sgt Cat lives out in Nevada now lost track of him a few years back.
Tom Rodgers one of the dispatchers, I was the other one.
Got a pic of alot of us at Clines house for a party..Cant remember everyone..
When your young you think you can remember who's who forever so you don't put their name on the picture backing.
L/Cpl Lazano..name sounds familiar..
What was the name of the shell gas station/resturaunt about 1/2 - 1 mile past the base camp on hwy 108 on the left hand side?
Have a pic of 2 guys hanging over the railing but again no names..maybe Lazano was one of them..
Supply we had Dan and Gryzlak..Anyone remember him? Lived about 10 miles from me here in Mass and have never seen nor found him. If there was beer in the cooler it was probably him.
Broke down ( I know it's hard to believe that our lovely International loadstar we had would ever break down) but it did one day on the way to Pendleton..1StSgt was on his way to Pendleton and gave us a ride to a auto parts store..Owner refused to take a goverment credit card.
Our great equipment..Oldazz International Loadstar Tractor couldn't get out of it's own way empty.
school buses with coffee cans on firewall, filled up with dry ice to keep them from vapor locking,
M116's to use up in the moutain,,cold and noisy as hell..
Couple of trash trucks and a honey wagon for the sani cans. If you were lucky you could leave base top go to B'port to empty it..Got to see real folks for a while.
Supply even threw out ski repair kits one time..Grabbed about 50 of them..Small straight and philips screw drivers,+ combo pliers, wire cutters, adjustable wrench type tool...still have a couple around here. Had to fight the Pyutes for them.
Thinks this posts as keecher my nickname but real names Mike Redfern if any of you remember me from motor T
