"Live" from our sea to shining sea tour 2015

I, too, am so sorry for your double misfortunes. Good luck and have a safe trip home. I can't thank you (Larry, Patsy and Alice) enough for all the pictures and commentary of your journey. Each trip that you guys make is like being there with you.

Do you have any plans to be up here in the northwest again sometime?? I would love to meet you in person.

Pink cars are covered under Mopar 5/100 warranty. Wait till we put the new motor in. It's just needs dyno, but Helms is busy right now.

I think we all hope you will continue to share pictures and stories of your return of the car and to home.

We all also feel for you for your misfortune on this extensive trip of a lifetime, but we know you had fun even if the end result was a bit of a bust. Safe travels and enjoy yourself on your way home. Your pictures have reminded me of the beauty of our country that we have also traveled through over the years. When people tell me they "flew" to a place out west, I feel bad for them because they didn't get to see our beautiful country because it's too much time and trouble to drive. They sure don't know what they've missed. Like you said the pictures of the Grand Canyon were great, but do not do it justice at all. And and RV is the only way to travel!!

I thought that 375 HP did not come with auto until 69. Learned something new tonight.

Well we left the track this morning at 5:15 and after driving thru Calif. and Arizona, we are now at a rest area about 50 miles into New Mexico! It has been uneventful so far which is good. We have stopped for the night and are watching our favorite basketball team (University of Kentucky).

Just got Live Audiocast up so we can listen to stock run. I took a few pics that I will post a little later.

Just got the word. Stock done for the day. 2 oil downs in SG caused delays.

I didn't get the camera back out until we were in traffic in AZ

I believe these are in Phoenix

Those tall skinny things are cactus!!
