Keep the photo and comments coming. Your trip across the country reminded me yesterday of my two trips I had in 1954 and 1955. After writing for twenty minutes, I tried to Publish or Preview and ended "deleted" every word. Damn! <br />But here goes a shorted version:<br />The 1954 trip was taken after 6 weeks of summer camp with junior birdmen from the Amherst Air Force ROTC at Rome AFB in the fingerlakes of NY. A good friend and I decided to take a month a visit the west starting across northern route in Wisconsin to San Francisco. This car, a 1949 Chevy coupe (2 doors) had no A/C for cooling, an AM radio, and a stick shift. Interstate highways had just started, but we never saw one. I believe we covered 9,000 miles and survived on $.15 burgers from the west coast phenomenon calle McDonalds.<br /><br />The second trip in 1955 was in a 1951 Chevy convertible (again stick shift and no A/C)took two years and involve entering the USAF flight training in San Antonio, TX, Big Spring, TX, Phoenix AZ, and Las Vegas, Nevada. After 20 months of training including the F-100 Super Sabre, supersonic fighter (40,000 ft. in 4 minutes)my mother joined me for drive to Merion.In UK, bought a TR-3 2 set sports can, no A/C, door handles,stick shift and great bachelor car for chasing the local girls. It fit the pilot mystique and served me well until little Nancy was ready to pop. Then we bought a very practical Ford sedan with 4 doors. Still no A/C manual shifting. After this we became a station wagon family.<br /><br />Enough of this car talk. I'll show you photos sometime.Your Build Day in Portland blog I read to day was wonderful.Remember, sleep will be you friend on this adventure. Enjoy the biking and your new friends.
