Quite an adventure.......

I`m glad you missed the big storm that went through. I was imagining towing your trailer in a big snowstorm and trying to make any time. After all these pics and memories, is this a trip you are interrested in repeating next year? Marathons like that are in my past and I`m Pondering the long trip to Springfield. I think it was waysouth6speed that said, "I hope I still love my SSR after this trip". Thanks for sharing your adventure with us. Looking forward to meeting you and Steve at Maggie Valley......Paul

After saying goodbye to Gina, Danny, Marty and Dee as they headed off to Vegas. Steve and I traveled thur Oatman onto the other side. Unknown territory..............we headed right into a 7,000 ft elv. mountain with winding roads that didn't seem to fit the White knuckles again!

The road was called Deadman and was part of the Old Historic Route 66 Picture.... mules in the mountains close to the road.....abandoned homes....sun damaged classic vehicles and no one around All we could hope was that the didn't over heat and the GPS was correct

On the other-side of the mountain was this great gas station.....a perfect spot to capture the awesome scenery and style of the

I suspect you'll love it even more. I took a 2000 mi plus trip (towing my other car the whole way for a show) about 6 months after getting my SSR. I was completely sold after that. The SSR did everything better than my old truck, even got better mileage. The permagrin was priceless!

Not next year

Steve and I would do it again..........Our song now is "On the Road Again.....just can't wait to get on the Road Again"

We did hit snow in Ohio, Indiana and Illinois while towing the trailer.....dropped us down to 45/50mph due to visibility.


Yes, I love my even more now............why?
It has now become part of Historic Route 66
It took 2513 miles of hard ass driving and preformed beautifully
The strangers we met on the way and the amazing views we've seen
My history with this vehicle has just become stronger and we bonded yet again
It made our relationship (Steve and I) Stronger.....the laughter we shared was truly fun and the adventure an exciting one

Debbie,
In the 4th photo, it looks like your SSR's "grandpa" in the background.

The End- Highlights

Here are some other place we visited or saw along the way

The Cadillac Ranch was a highlight for Steve as he has seen this in movies and on documentaries. http://www.roadsideamerica.com/attra...Acadillac.html

The St. Louis Gateway Arch
http://www.gatewayarch.com/Arch/info/arch.fact.aspx

The Large Cross
4,300 miles and a safe trip

Big Man Big Money
2:30 A.M. Nevada time.......4:30 A.M. MI Time (Never could get back on track)
This is where Marty comes in to play again. While I was enjoying bar life Marty came in to the bar grabbed me by the hand and said "Come with me Steve's on the floor" Can you imagine what I was thinking He didn't say another word and held my hand the whole time.....we turned the corner in the casino and then he said "I just needed you to take a picture"
Good old Marty............Your gonna get it


For all the prayers along the way to and from and for all the fun we had with all of you...............Thanks for sharing our trip

Hey HRG, did you get a copy of the CD I made of traveling music for the Laughlin Trip? On the Road Again is the first song. If you'd like a copy, PM me your address. xo
