When I used to run up to Aroostook county Maine in the winter time I always doubled up on the fuel conditioner and most times I plugged the truck in at the hotel or left it running all day while I slept.Too damm azz cold even for me.When Loring Air Force base was open there was a :
: load of freight coming into the county.Is that the base in Caribou?
That'll freeze the nuts off a steel bridge!January 15, 2018, at the border at Champlain, NY, ready to cross into Canada. Good thing I didn't have to get out for Customs.
I was on that Lake Champlain ferry summer of 98. Old airstart freightliner for CF. Captain said turn that piece of $$$$ off. I asked are you sure that's what you want. Of course it wouldn't start on the NY side. 5 trips back and forth before the crew found enough air line to pump some into the tank and get me on my way. A great night!January 15, 2018, at the border at Champlain, NY, ready to cross into Canada. Good thing I didn't have to get out for Customs.
No air start issues, but had to take the ferry to get to/from Burlington with pups. Cumberland Head (NY) - Grand Isle (VT) ferry.
Actually it was Limestone.it’s long gone. some sort of industrial park now.
loring just outside caribou in limestone.. spent many a day or nite going to easton or caribou to pick up french fries. not fun in the winter on route 1 or 1a in a blinding snowstorm or snow squall
Cold azz place for sure.
It was a B-52 base. Shutting it down really hurt the economy in Northern Maine. Also most of the snow plows & blowers were mounted on Oshkosh trucks. The Oshkosh Wisconsin manufacturing & rebuilding division lost a big contract with the Department of Defense.
The summers are great though, (the entire month of it).
I was going to mention the long open road around Bangor & the tales of the haunted woods.
I wondered if any of you guys ran the old road.
