PONY EXPRESS DAY 14

Fini!    Downhill from Tahoe, didn't stop for anything but gas and a burger. They were paving the old Altamont Highway so we did it the hard way, over the Altamont on 580. Heavy, heavy traffic, beat up old road trying to beat up our poor old Model A's and the occupants. Home at 2:00.


Here are the final statistics for us. 3161 miles, 29 stops for gas, 171.9 gallons, 18.4 mpg overall even with my leaking carburetors, and we had 2170 hits on this blog. Patti has unpacked everything, done laundry and is making her list for Whitefish, MT on July 29. I took a nap. Hope you enjoyed our adventure, and thanks for your support. And goodnight Mrs. Calabash, where ever you are.

Hi, Bob and Patti.
We have really enjoyed your trip by following along on the blog. That gas mileage is amazing! A lot of cars don't do a lot better 80 years younger than your Model A. Glad you made it home safely and your float didn't sink again. I hope our trip in August is as successful as your trip.
