I'll be meeting up with Dave in 45 minutes to an hour. Then we still have a hour and 15 minute drive to DIY shop. I decided just to lead Dave to the shop, after he's been on the road all day, I'd hate to try to give directions for all the back roads.

I hope Dave has company to help drive on the trip. With the break-neck pace of the last week he's got to be worn out.
Stomper hooked up with Dave as planned. All went really smoothly. Got to the shop.... had to been close to midnight. Made a few minor adjustments to his rig and put it back on the trailer.
My uncle Terry, Stomper, My oldest son Mick, Dave and I were there for the quick wrench session.
Dave was in his motel room by 3:15 a.m.
I'm headed for the pillow right now. Night all!

Oooph. What time are you guys hitting the road?
Wow, you guys must be exhausted, I hope you get a good nights rest before taking off across the country again. I hope everything works as planned!
Well Dave and Kert are right around Lincoln Nebraska right now.
More than likely past it.

Awesome!!! can't wait for the next update. Wish I could have helped more but I had tickets to the UofM game on saturday and couldnt pass it up.
Go Dave Go!! You guys all kick ass for helping Dave out like you have. I really hope I have an opportunity to meet everyone at a Blazer Bash in the near future.Be safe guys and take lots of Pics!!
watching you guys come from all over the country to hang together in moab is making me feel like such a lazy **** sitting here less than 3 hours away.well dave sent me a text this morning with a red rock cliff behind the rigsHes in moab
Wish I was there.
take lots of pics!
don't be shy posting "where is Dave now" updates. I'm sure I'm not the only one living vicariously through Dave's adventure right now.
I friggin' love Zim.....this guy is the embodiment of what CK5 means to me; he dreamt it, he built it....and he's driving it to Moab!!!!
For my first BlazerBash, I pulled did 21 straight days and nights of prep work to be ready to go. There is nothing like that delirious feeling of finally driving the truck under it's own power towards Moab. A lot of guys talk about doing it "someday", but my hat is off to the guys who sacrifice, work hard and make it happen!
dave makes it to the shop.
about 3 a.m. we done with what we could do.
drive to moab went well. we switched drivers every tank of gas. Got into town around 10a.m. Few very small things to do on the Maiden that we finished up today.

Not to mention he's just an all around good guy!

Way to go Dave you made it there.

Dang that thing looks sexy. I vote to just keep it in the green primer. Nice job Dave.
I know, that color has grown on me.
