Thanks Ralph. We always know spring is in the air when you post up your first drive. The Merc and it's family history always brings a smile.

Thanks GB. Its a testament to the durability of the Mercomatic that it has survived. This time of year was stressful either plowing through melting snow or mud to get to town. If the half mile driveway was impassable the Merc would be left parked way out there and we'd either have to walk or ride tractor to and from the farm yard. So many memories in the Merc.
