Epic Road Trip!

[mr. fix it]

Been busy the past few days
We skipped out of Cruisin the Coast but will plan to return again
We are in New Orleans now catching the interesting way of life here
Did a swamp tour in the afternoon

After 5pm had dinner at Coops, watched the bike parade , had a teen marching band March by us while we a rich dark roast coffee with beignets at the oldest Cafe in the city,
Did a mule carriage ride as well all in the span of about 3 hours!
I was told this was an off night
Had a TurboDog dark Ale then settled into the Provincial hotel for The night

Ready for another day of adventures

Looks like you're still having a grand time. I wouldn't go swimming though.

The swimming pool was refreshing

I had a shot of Bourbon on Bourbon st last night

Now it's turn around time today to head back home
Hopefully we stay out of the rain from the hurricane getting ready to hit Florida

We completed a straight run for St Louis yesterday
705 miles and not a glitch
This is the longest drive to date on the trip
Not a drop of oil burnt or leaked out
I think it is safe to say my hard work has paid off

Thanks Bryan
We took today to rest and head for home tomorrow

I'll be heading across the 70 then up to the 90 then onto the 20 for a nice drive home we hope.

When I was much younger I had a new to me beater that I wasn't sure if it would make the Ottawa to Windsor trip. A greybeard told me at that time if it can do a trouble-free 50 mile trip, it can do 500. Did the round trip with no problems.

I bet you're getting plenty of thumbs up!

I was just reviewing the replies here and am very happy to tell you that I do believe that any classic car will ignite a passion for most everyone that remembers our cars when they were younger and of days gone by

I have lost count on how many people have honked their horns , waved, given us the thumbs up or commented on the car.

For those that approached us and realized the location of where we are from being in disbelief that we have driven the car the distance that we have as well
It also transcends age race and gender for those that love our cars as well have been really endear ting as well

Great trip! Thanks for taking us along.

What a great trip Tom, thanks for taking us along. There truly is no better way to road trip than in a classic C-body!

Tom welcome back home. Now you will be able to enjoy all the benefits of our new carbon tax LOL.

 

[mr. fix it]

Still not quite finished yet
We are spending the night in Mansfield Ohio then home

Great trip Tom. Your right about vintage car travel. You'll make new friends everywhere you go.
Now ....... Slap a hitch on, hook up a vintage travel trailer, and stay off the interstates. It's a whole new experience.

I'm not much of a city guy, but New Orleans is one of my favorite stops. Never a dull moment there. If I were forced to live in a city, New Orleans would be the place. Some of the most hospitable folks anywhere.
