Group, As many of you know, my buddy, Bob, and I have driven my SV from Cleveland west 2 times in past 8 yrs. These trips were phase 1 and 2 of a redo of a trip Bob and I did in a SIV in 1965. This year year we are doing the 3rd and final phase of the redo.
On or about Aug 11, Bob will head west from Cleveland, alone in my Alpine - travelling to Nashville, TN, then Austin,TX, and then on to his home near Albuquerque. He will have our gear, my tools, and few spare parts. He's a real Road Warrior and a darn good mechanic, but of course not as familiar with the Alpine as I am. If he encounters any problems I am hoping a handy Forum member along the way can help.
Then on Sept 10 Bob will drive to LasVegas. I will fly there on Sept 11 and we will head on to Fresno,CA. Next day to Hayward and SF area. Then down the PCH to the LA area, back to LV, Grand Canyon NP, various parts of CO. We'll be in Denver or CoSprs, Sept 23. Bob will fly home from there and I will drive alone to KC for an antique Carousel Convention (wife flies in), then Sept 29 I will head home (alone) via Indianapolis. Again, if we need help it wil be good to know who's nearby and available for assistance. Also, it would be neat to connect with a few Forum members along the way. In the previous 2 trips, I've met up with about 3 dozen members, incl many at the Winona Invasion and the Colorado Conclave, and many individual stops.
You can connect wih me via post here or send me an e-mail- just click on my name and click "send an e-mail". I prefer not to use PM's - too little msg storage.
I will post updates as the trip nears and as it progresses.
