Home

Well we made it home late Monday. Tomorrow I have to go back to work but that is not bad because I have not stopped since I got home and it is to hot here. The trip was great would we do it again yes but not in a 29 pickup next time it will be in a sedan or a newer pickup maybe my 32 pickup. Total miles driven was 6500.

Back To Dumas

Today we drove from Gunnison Colorado to Dumas Texas long hard drive across the mountains. Originally we were going to drive to Durango. For those that know me I own a 1967 Airstream trailer r. I have been wanting to go to the vintage airstream meet in Salida Colorado well this year we were able to make it in the model a. There was 85 trailers I think the pickup got as much attention as the trailers. Maybe next year I can take my trailer. We had a bad breakdown today outside Raton New Mexico our cruise control quit. When your legs are folded inside a cramped 29 pickup the cruise helps alot. We found a broken wire when we arrived at the motel. Tomorrow we will finally be home.

Thank God for Autozone

Well technically this is the only breakdown we have had. Yesterday morning we left Boise Idaho with very little brakes. We were in the middle of nowhere about 40 miles from Boise. We pulled into a NAPA auto supply and asked for some silicon brake fluid that did not know what we were talking about I guess they were used to sell tractor parts. We drove 10 miles down the road to another little town that had a Autozone they had silcone fluid on the shelf. Upon furthur inspection we found a hole in a brake line. The manager loaned us atubing bender so we did a parking lot repair. Today we are in Gunnison Colorado about 800 miles from home we should be home late Monday or Tuesday.

Mormon Tabernacle

We spent the night last night in Salt Lake City. This is a inside picture of the Mormon church the church seats 21000.

Homeward bound

We are in Boise Idaho at a Inn America this motel cost $57.00 one of the cheapest and nicest places we have stayed. If you do not have AAA and you travel you are missing out because the AAA book is where we found this motel. We had to leave the meet Tues. morning because it is 2700 miles home and I have to be at work next Friday the 13th. We spent the day yesterday in Portland with my sister sightseeing. Sorry I forgot to take my camera. For you Model A fans this is a new original looking five main bearing cast iron block Terry Burtz from Cal. is working on these he is going to try and market the block crank and rods for $3000.00 looks like I might be getting on the list. Well the meet was fun the short time we were there about 460 registration. Tomorrow we will be stoppin in Salt Lake City.
