Tow Mater Truck

So much more! Worth the 10 minute detour off the highway! So much to look at! Hard to capture.

Tow Mater Truck

Tow Mater Truck is parked at the edge of a private lot. There is a building with a large ESSO sign that you can see before you actually make the turn. The truck itself is behind a high fence; we had to quickly cross a muddy street and brave some assertive dogs to get close enough for a photo.
