Last time a couple of us UGMer's where together I noticed we all had things of an intresting nature in the back of our trucks. In the back of mine there is: Trolley wire, wire rope, breaker screen, buggy parts, and last but not least high quality anthracite from various veins.

i think we should open this up to not only ugmers but anyone with anything interesting in the back of their truck........

mine,

switch stand (throw), switch points, rail joiners, waterlogged muck boots, wet gloves, a tow strap, coal bit universal joint, wheat lamp head, some leaves, a piece of christmas wrapping paper, a few pieces of left over anthracite and a partridge in a pear tree :D

A few months ago, while traveling to the casino, I passed a UGM truck on 81 outside of Nuangola. I think it was an S10, but I remember seeing an Undergroundminers.com sticker on the rear window.

I don't remember seeing a yellow truck. I remember it being tan or grey. I guess I saw Gary then.

everyone sees gary!,,, :?


Mine looks similar to Chris and Mikes....

Anthracite, Semi-Anthracite (Thanks Adam), mine car wheel locks, my truck jack, muck boots, couple drill bit heads, rail tongs, random rocks and pieces of metal, dynamite tamping rod, and lots of trash and old bottles that made it out of the cab, but not to the dumpster. Kind of like purgatory..

im sure theres more goodies..gotta look.

Nothing in the back of the Sport Trac , (God forbid!)
Ceramic Tile in the back of the 48' trailer. I like it when there's nothing in there on the way back from Charlottesville.

Sorry I'm a party pooper on this one.
