might take an expedition up to maine to see these! we may have some extra room in the jeeps if any one wants to join us. the trip may be combined with picking up some rubicon axles and seeing a rob zombie concert in maine.

We are up for that preservation project. Get our team some grant money & we will save those steamers. We need a really good rigging project.
