Who salutes the flag,
Who serves beneath the flag,
And whose coffin is draped in the flag,
Who allows the protestor to burn the flag.

Just got off the phone with them. They got an early start and they said it's pretty windy. Danny, you better be home!! Sounds like you may have a play date scheduled with Jack around dinner time.  |

You know Rick, this thread is Four Years, Seven Months and Fifteen Days in the making! Not to mention the time that has elapsed since your accident..... The day after your accident, you could've mounted rollers and pushed it and been to Danny's by now!! Seriously though. Congratulations!! Please post updates too! I can't wait for the day you arrive to VW events in your car! |

Shall we get the thread back on track now?
The original plan was to pack and load the car on Thursday and leave early on Friday. Unfortunately I didn't allow myself enough time on Thursday to do everything I needed to do. I picked up the trailer from Randy's house on Firday morning and then Randy and Cameron helped me load the car on the tralier. By the time I got home, finished packing and loading and got ready, it was 2:00.

We hit the 241 to the 91 only to find that the 91 was closed due to a tanker truck fire. For those not familiar with the area, the 91 is one of the major arteries from Orange County to the Inland Empire. This tied all the Freeways in the area in a knot. We tried bypassing the bottleneck but everyone else had the same idea we had. After 2 and a half hours we were still in Orange County... a trip that would normally take about 20 minutes. Knowing how much further we had to go, we figured that we would not make it to Carson City until maybe 4 or 5 am. We decided that it made more sense to return home and leave early on Saturday morning instead.

The next morning we got a pretty early start.

The picture doesn't really show how dark it was... the street lights turned off a few minutes before this was taken.
After Sue's manditory Starbucks (Coffee) stop we we on the road.
Shortly we were Northbound on the 395 in the middle of freaking nowhere!

About noon we hit Bishop which is one of the largest towns on our route.
We didn't realize that they had their "Mule Days" celebration on this weekend so it was bumper to bumper traffic through the town, taking us almost an hour.

soon we we back on the open road

We found some spectacular scenery during a "comfort" stop along the Walker River

Rick, are you going to be able to save the factory Savanna Beige fender beading/welting? Or you are you switching to black? Danny, looking forward to seeing progress pictures of Rick's car... but not as much as Rick, I'm sure.
