Not long after the M1 Abrams was put into service, I was on US 60 on the west side of Frankfort, Kentucky. We have a major National Guard base there. Of course, Fort Knox is not all that far to the west of Frankfort, accessible from US 60. I looked out the front window of the little store I was in, and there went a deuce and a half, an M1 and another deuce and a half. And they were bookin'! (I could be wrong about the trucks; I was staring at the tank! ;-)
Don't know anything about the circumstances. Though you'd think if they were traveling between the Guard base and Fort Knox they'd have used a carrier for the over sixty mile trip.
