Beautiful truck Paul. This past November my daughter and father-in law and I drove from here in NE Georgia to Arizona to see the Grand Canyon and other sights. While driving through the mountains in south-central New Mexico it was spitting snow and the sun came out briefly revealing a double rainbow. We pulled into a roadside pull-off to take some pictures. While my daughter was taking the photo's I noticed a historical marker, to our front as a backdrop for the rainbows was a beautiful mountainside. It was here according to the marker that the bear cub that would later become " Smokey " was rescued from a wildfire. This was one of the highlights of the trip for me having grown up with " Smokey the Bear " in the 60's. Thanks for the memories Paul.
