ArmyofOne Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 Coming in off of my last mission in afghanistan... Towing an 80,000# Buffalo Route Clearance Vehicle with the MRV (MaxxPro Recovery Vehicle). For this deployment, and all I have accomplished, I was awarded my 3rd Army Commendation Medal: See taliban? We kick your !Removed!, and we get awards for it ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArmyofOne Posted August 3, 2012 Author Share Posted August 3, 2012 Well folks, just wanted to check in. Been home since the 17th of July, and it has been awesome. Starting our roadtrip next friday morning EARLY. Our Route: Tacoma WA-Salt Lake City UT (overnight stop-camping) Salt Lake City UT-Grand Staircase-Escalante National Park GSENP-Grand Canyon National Park GCNP-Flagstaff AZ (overnight stop-camping). Flagstaff AZ-Fort Worth TX (Stop for 10 days with my family and picking up my 26' Bayliner). While in DFW, we are going to jet down to houston to see my grandparents, then back up to DFW. Then... DFW, TX-Gatlinburg TN (meet up with Meghan's folks and stay overnight) Gatlinburg, TN-Orlando, FL for 4 days Back to Gatty TN for 5 more. Gatty TN to Clarksville TN (overnight stop with friends) Clarksville TN-Goodland KS (overnight stop, camping) Goodland KS-Pikes Peak National Park CO PPNP- Rock Springs WY (overnight stop camping) Rock Springs WY-Jackson WY Jackson WY-Grand Tetons National Park Grand Tetons National Park-Yellowstone National Park Yellowstone National Park-Bozeman MT (overnight stop camping) Bozeman MT-Tacoma WA (HOME). Total cost for the trip will be roughly $1800 in fuel, maybe more...depending on the mileage I get towing 7,000 lbs of boat. Then the campsites were $160, figuring a grand of fun money in both TX, and FL/TN, so roughly $4,000 total cost. Not bad considering I will be having 30 days of FUN. All the national parks we are stopping at are free this year (got a free annual pass with military ID) so thats why we are hitting all of those. Here we go!
