GERTRUDE the jeep - M151A2 solo-convoy across the U.S.
Rich Lieberman and his son are doing (have done by now) a major convoy from Virginia to NM (attempting Phoenix where the M151A2 was living for years with Rich's father) and then BACK TO VIRGINIA - all driving SOLO! How many MVPA would try that SOLO? But, yes, he had one breakdown - distributor coil went bad over the Continental Divide - and he got a trailer ride to Albuquerque where his jeep was give a donor coil and put back on the road. See "Gertrude the jeep" on Facebook for a video/posting of the SOLO CONVOY. Most MVPA members would not attempt that trip without an M416 full of spares being towned behind!!!!
