We are off to the Model T Centennial Celebration in Indiana. We are lugging a little black trailer with our speedster in it and Ray and Linda are tailing us and sometimes leading us with their trailer and speedster. We also have Janet and Rich with us as passengers, apprentice model T wannabes, and assistant everything. First day, we got an unexpected sendoff from the donut shop in Milpitas when Hazletons and Jones from the Model A club showed up to see us off. We bumped and pitched our way out of California on the worst roads (I680, I580, I5, and I80) you can imagine. California has got to be entering a crisis stage as far as the roads breaking up. What a relief to get into NV and onto some smooth roads. Long day, got into Elko at 6:15, took longer getting over the Sierras than we thought and more total miles than we thought. But,,,,, we had a great Basque dinner at the Star Hotel, obviously THE place to get Basque food in Elko judging from the crowd on a Wed nite. Included a couple desert pictures that show what we looked at for most of the day.

I don't see any dessert pictures. Did you forget them or don't I know how to bring them up? Glad to see you are blogging so I can follow the trip. Happy trails! Marlayna
Hi Bob,Pat,Rich,Janet,Ray & Linda-
Looking forward to hearing your tales! Mary probably wouldn't have made a very good stowaway in your trailer!

Thanks for the update. (We did see the pictures.) We ate the donuts you didn't have time for after you left :>)
We didn't hear about the crickets. Maybe tomorrow? Good luck and stay in out of the rain.
