He has a partner up there. Buys many of them at auctions all over the country.
Refurbs as needed and moves them up there.

Looks like a great trip. We are doing a shorter version end of May.

Point of the trip was to move the rigs up there to sell. That’s why towing a trailer with the motorhome.

I did it twice when I was a kid. It was all washboard in the early 60's.
