Well, Dave's new car is all cleaned up and ready for a long cross country trip... I'll be looking forward to reading a report when he gets her home.

Retired Air Force SMsgt brown did a wonderful job cleaning her up--I never realized how much grit gets on a car just sitting in the garage.

24 hours from right now, I'll be on the aluminum tube in the sky on my way there! Operation Ragtop will have commenced!

"Operation Ragtop" has commenced!

Dave made it to ABQ, we loaded up the car with the spare parts, fed him and sent him off to the motel for a good nights rest (the altitude can make you very tired when you are not used to it).

Leg one of the long journey begins tomorrow morning.

She ran and ran well!!! Likely will need tweaking for my altitude, but she performed admirably! Testimony to your skills sir!

Second day saw me go from Kingman, to Susanville, CA. Rather than try to get home last night, common sense prevailed and I got a room for the night!!
