Great stories!
Owen, there is nothing at all wrong with tours that go "right." This may often be the case here, since most of the stories will be about trips in Packards, and testimony to their famed reliability. (Don't leave out the "horror stories," though. They're always good fun.
Ever get done with a trip where you sweated whether the vehicle would break down or not, carrying spare parts and tools, then get home after driving 1000 mi. or so? Owen has related that experience well. I had it myself once, and literally told the car in my driveway: "Why was I so worried about you?" It's a good feeling.
Clipper47, thanks for the tips on getting through Nebraska. I've done the freeway several times and it is a colossal bore! I knew there had to be something better to see in Nebraska. Also, congratulations on navigating 61 from Canada to New Orleans. Did you start at Thunder Bay and go all the way to N.O.? Also interested in that show--50 miles south of Duluth is about 70 miles north of where I live.
Denny, naw, it wasn't sunspots, it was the day the earth stood still.
