September 13


Greetings everyone. We made it from Springfield to Springfield today--from Springfield, IL to Springfield, MO. That is not quite as far as we had originally planned to get, but still pretty good considering we didn't get started until 11am. The tech at the Pontiac Dealer found out that the starter and solenoid were just fine--it was the wiring that was very old and not carrying enough 'juice'. But all fixed now.

It was very hot and humid this afternoon, but we did take in some of the sights. Along with the map showing our progress, check out the picture of the GTO in front of a Route 66 landmark--the Wagon Wheel Motel in Cuba, Missouri. Tomorrow, if all goes well, we'll be traveling through the rest of Missouri, over the 13 miles of Route 66 in Kansas, and then on to Oklahoma City. We do, of course, need to make a stop at a quilt shop in Carthage, MO. Blessings

  1. Hey Drenths
    Thanks for sharing your trip! We are doing hwy 101 leaving next Friday. To bad we didn't leave when we were suppose to because we might have run into you in LA! :-) We are now going to be there Sept 27 and Oct. 1. We are taking in as many baseball games as we can get in while we travel. Hope you continue to have a great time~ love and hugs Kris & Chris
