Road Trip - The Return of Dr. Rogers' '34-'33

I flew to Wichita, KS earlier this week to meet Dr. Rogers half way from Florida and help him drive his '33 sedan back to Idaho. We put a 6.0L 2008 Chevy LS engine in the car last fall. He now has 7500 miles on the new installation. Aside from some frustrating programming issues, the car works great and made for a wonderful road trip.


Windshield "snot" is what you get this time of year when you're going through Kansas and Nebraska. Species identification was difficult at 80 mph. All we can say is that the last thing to go through their minds was thier buttholes.


Dateline: May 19, North Platte Nebraska, 5:00 AM; I finally got to have breakfast in a real diner! We had bacon and eggs and hit the road for a 13 hour shift through Wyoming and Montana. The car ran like a champ although mileage suffered considerably pushing a barn door down the road at 80 mph with a 40 mph headwind.

America is a great place to explore by car. The countryside was gorgeous and green. This is one of the many Oregon Trail landmark rocks somewhere in Wyoming. Bob.
