stevebeilgard Posted November 3, 2014 Report Share Posted November 3, 2014 had a great trip starting last monday. all well on the ferry, then a good drive the first day, second day, and third day. beautiful weather and truck running fine. we thought we'd stop off in buffalo, wyoming, to see an old friend. we're 70 miles from gillette. hit the cruise before the exit and glided down off the interstate and onto the lane into buffalo. put on the gas, and nothing. turns out i blew my transfer case. there's 2 grand down the drain. we spent 2 days in a motel, then found the parts were not going to work. so, i called a friend in gillette and we were rescued. we're now in gillette and have a catch a dream hunter coming in tomarrow for his elk. i'll hopefully be posting pictures on wednesday or thursday. so far, i'm 100% on 6 x 6 or larger bulls. but we'll see. a few prayers are always welcome. luckily, a rancher friend of mine gave me one of his fleet to hunt out of for the week. it's a nice dodge mega cab diesel, and ready to hunt. on a great note on this same subject: my daughter posted on our church web site last night about my prediciment with no truck and a catch a dream kid coming. by 7 this morning we had over a dozen trucks offered. both the dodge and ford dealers in town told me to come down and take my pick. 3 others made a donation to catch a dream, the ford dealer filled up my truck, and others are in line to buy a tank of diesel. America is still great! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ravin R10 man Posted November 4, 2014 Report Share Posted November 4, 2014 Glad to hear people stepping up, what a chance for a dealer to donate a truck for you every year to use, I bet Chevy would do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
