    Like I said on FB, glad that all of you, including Luna, are intact and safe. Bumps, bruises (and even stitches) will heal, and nothing was lost that can't be replaced, or rebuilt.

    Keep your heads up, there are worse things.

      The tear that would be shed for the demise of one Trusted and Beloved Waggy, shall be replaced with Gratefulness and Joy at the safe return of trusty puppy as well as the absence of broken carcasses and extinguished flames.
      I have Every Confidence that the many AMC goodies will find their way into a worthy shell, and Phoebe will once more be drizzling libations of Quadratrac juice down the trail before ya know it.

        I'd say about 30 ft. It was nice that it landed on it's wheels for an easier recovery.

          Easily I would think. That's Bob standing by Kevin's WT, Bob's my height at 6'.

          Josh,
          I'm going to open up your other pic's if Mike didn't do so already.

          OK folks, it's just about time for F&K's annual trek to Arizona, and as always we will have an overnighter wheelin' excursion. Date is the weekend before Thanksgiving, November 20-22. Start time is still up in the air, but should be around 9-930 AM-ish, or so, maybe. This year's drive will start in Florence at

                Glad things didn't come out worse and hope you're reunited with the pup soon.

                Looking over the pics I just kept saying to myself, dang but these things are built tough.

                  Very nice! I like it
                  Sounds like people all over the place were trying to help any way they could, that is fantastic. Nice to know there are still good people out there! Sorry that sounds cynical, I know.

                    I was glad all of you made it out of the hills intact and VERY SAD to see Phoebe all hurted. I want to help bring her back!

                    I have a 76 401 Waggy that is darn near a clone to Phoebe. If there is a way to get the Wag to you, I'll gladly donate the clean body and frame with clear title.

                    I'm in Sacramento and the Gag O Neer is on a flatbed in the side yard without axles. She's slated to go to the crusher if I can't find a home for her.
                    So, if someone can come up with transport it's yours free of charge Flint n Krista!

                          Folks if there ever was family and friends established over long distances...this fourm leads the way. I am honored to be a member of a group of caring people who will do things like this to make a good situation out of a bad one.
                          Krista & Flint I am so sorry for the loss of the vehicle, but I am so thankful that you're both ok. My wife and I have kept you and your puppy Luna in our prayers. Looks like they were answered.
                          Best of luck to everyone! Be safe this holi-daze season.

                          Sincerely,

                            Beyond a doubt, this is the BEST collection of misfits on the web. Most of my best friends I've got right here. Flint and Krista are right up there, even tho we've never met face to face. We've just know each other for a long time...and Krista's still a youngster even!!

                              You sir, are a gentleman among gentleman. Ultimately, the final decision is left to Flint and Krista. However, since your willing to donate, so am I.

                              I've got $200.00 bucks in mad money to help transport this rig to the 4 corners.
