Trulyvintage Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 Dean William Yoder is revered in The Model T Community for good reason - he drives his numerous Model T’s from the family farm in Iowa City, Iowa all over the United States … Dean William Yoder’s Adventures On Facebook From the Florida Keys to Alaska …. I think he is Montana today …. Looks like he bagged an elusive Jackalope Jim 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trulyvintage Posted July 26, 2021 Author Share Posted July 26, 2021 Dean is third from the left. This was taken just a day or so ago in Wyoming. Dean’s Model T Camper is on the right. Jim 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert G. Smits Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 A few years ago a friend in College Station purchased a Model A in Anchorage. He and his wife flew up and drove it to Texas. Took a while. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trulyvintage Posted July 27, 2021 Author Share Posted July 27, 2021 (edited) At Chickasha Swap earlier this year I parked my truck & trailer across from Dean. He invited me to dinner cooked on an old Coleman stove in a cast iron frying pan 🍳 Hamburger with onions sautéed in 🧈 As the sun set I remarked that I couldn’t believe I was sharing a meal he cooked over open flame 🔥 Just like he had done countless times in his travels - just like folks did all the time over 100 years ago … Dean paused - looked up at me … ” Your full a’ shit “ he said … I laughed & agreed but still I considered it a high honor none the less 😏 Jim Edited July 27, 2021 by Trulyvintage (see edit history) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TAKerry Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 Sounds like fun and a neat experience, but I cook over an open flame (the grill in my backyard) about 4 nights a week! Sometimes even with my iron skillet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AL1630 Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 Looks like an awesome road trip! I really want to do something like this one day. I wonder how many miles he travels each day? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trulyvintage Posted July 27, 2021 Author Share Posted July 27, 2021 Dean goes to town for necessities in his Model T vehicles as the need arises. Conservatively speaking - he has logged at minimum over 100, 000 miles in Model T vehicles. This current trip started in Iowa City, Iowa from his farm a few days before the MTFCA Annual Homecoming in Richmond, Indiana which was June 19th. From there - Dean and his traveling companion took a long ( mostly two lane ) dirt & gravel road to Spokane, Washington for the MTFCA National Tour which started around July 9th. Dean has been on the road now well over a month. Jim 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trulyvintage Posted yesterday at 12:44 AM Author Share Posted yesterday at 12:44 AM (edited) Dean just updated his 2024 YTD total mileage. 6184 minimum miles so far according to his GPS - that does include a few days when Dean drove without it on.
