Sally made some delicious cookies, gobs! She also realized that we would have a few aching muscles so she brought magic hands, a seat that had rollers for a wonderful massage<BR/>for our aching backs. Yes, even John and Judy got a massage.Pathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08752025833662337237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29903293.post-1154042229706788172006-07-27T16:17:00.000-07:002006-07-27T16:17:00.000-07:00Answer to Stacey,We have two small suitcases with ...Answer to Stacey,<BR/>We have two small suitcases with us and as far as laundry goes, I'm on vacation...Besides we wear everything rightside out and then turn it inside out.Pathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08752025833662337237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29903293.post-1154038553081479642006-07-27T15:15:00.000-07:002006-07-27T15:15:00.000-07:00Day Five, July 26, 2006/ Day 21We saw Bob & Patti...Day Five, July 26, 2006/ Day 21<BR/><BR/>We saw Bob & Patti off at 6AM again this morning. Bill flew into Chicago yesterday to pick up his car and continue the ride home with us. It was nice to see him again behind the wheel of his Model A. It rained on us mercilessly for most of the morning until we all converged at a little diner in the middle of nowhere, Illinois for a nice breakfast reunion. Crossing into Iowa, we followed the road along the Mississippi River, but we couldn’t see the river for the lush tree line. Stopped at the visitor’s center across the border, and bought all kinds of neat local craftwork, then pressed on past Dubuque for our destination, Fort something or other. We didn’t make it anyway. Decided to stay in Waterloo, after Judy & I scouted ahead to Dike, sixteen miles down the highway (don’t even go there), populated by two adults, one child, a dog, and a recently deceased raccoon in the middle of Main Street. No motel, though.<BR/><BR/>We were all strung out on the highway, at cross purposes, driving back and forth, giving poor Bill mixed messages, when I realized that we were four crazy people, on the road too long, rattled, and unable to find a motel. The more we tried, the crazier we got. Being fresh and sane and able to make a decision, Bill left us behind, in true Model A touring tradition, and calmly drove to Fort Whatever. I’m sure he suspects we’re nuts. I can hear him now: “what’s up with them?” We’ll have to make a real effort tomorrow to make him believe that we can still function rationally and dress ourselves.<BR/><BR/>I know we’re supposed to get up early tomorrow and drive somewhere, but I can’t think about that right now. I’ll think about it tomorrow. After all, tomorrow is another day…<BR/><BR/>Four Nuts and one sane guy going West<BR/><BR/>Iowa<BR/><BR/>Ps: the little black coupe is a stalwart car, running out there dependably, all day…prayer does work. Got a call from Jack & Don somewhere back there…the roadster won’t start. Bob advised them to stick the backup distributor on…no further word, yet. Dave & Susan ran their coupe all day, but something just doesn’t sound right in the engine. They propose to run it tomorrow and see how it goes. So our adventure is turning into an ADVENTURE. Ray called to report that the California group, consisting of Bob & Shirley in their coupe and Ray & Linda in their sedan are nearly at Rushmore, and they haven’t gone crazy yet. Give them another 15 days…Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29903293.post-1153976276937327472006-07-26T21:57:00.000-07:002006-07-26T21:57:00.000-07:00I think you should post about how much luggage you...I think you should post about how much luggage you have with you and what you are doing about laundry!!Stacey T.https://www.blogger.com/profile/14054846009757731706noreply@blogger.com
