Sorry for the delay, but weak internet has slowed down updates from the far north. However, I now know that on Sunday June 18th, Jay, Charlie and Maxi were heading toward Meziadin Lake Provincial Park. Check out this snow-capped mountain off of Route 37: Snow ap off Rt 37 Somewhere along the way, the guys…
Maxi Takes a Detour to the West Coast
On Thursday and Friday, June 15-16, Maxi led the way from Prince George to Prince Rupert. The guys have gotten into the habit of stopping at every visitor information center they’ve seen. The result is interesting shots from several villages and small towns. One of their first stops was at Burns Lake, a rural village in NW…
Maxi Arrives in Canada to a Warm Welcome
On Monday, June 12th, Maxi and her adventurers made it through Washington state. To minimize traffic with the trailer holding Maxi, they skirted around Seattle, but Charlie caught this shot of the city: They made it as far as Sumas, Washington, which is right on the Canadian border. It looks like a cute town. It was originally a…
The Adventure Begins
Jay, Charlie and Military Maxi departed Cambria (on the Central Coast of California) early on Saturday morning, June 10th. Notice the “package” on top of the tow vehicle? You’ll see more of this later in the trip, but it’s a special car top tent from Cascadia Car Tents. When the guys get further north, there will…

We’ve Come Full Circle
I forgot to show you last night’s luxurious hotel in Sheboygan: Today is our last day of touring the Great Lakes, and by the end of the day we will have come full circle. We had a morning tour of the Kohler Manufacturing plant in the town of Kohler. No photos were allowed inside, but…
Snow and Football
The Great Lakes Model A Tour is approaching it’s end. This is the 20th day of the tour, and we started driving south. We have had relatively good weather… At first, we had pretty warm weather, then we had periods of rain, but still not too cold. Then, suddenly, the temps dropped. On the first…
Ferry Crossing and Unusual Food
This is our 19th day of the Great Lakes Tour (Sat., October 12). We started the day with an early morning 4-hour car ferry crossing of Lake Michigan. We departed from Ludington, MI, and landed in Manitowac, WI. Some passengers didn’t enjoy the motion of the waves at the beginning of the sail, and although…
One of Our FAVORITE Museums
Today we drove about 17 miles to Hickory Corners, MI, to visit the Gilmore Car Museum. The docents arranged special parking for our Model As on the lawn of the facility. We had a tour of the Model A Museum (the largest in the world), a vintage diner, various period displays, and over 300 vintage…
Turkeys, Cars, and… OOPS
Today, October 10th, Jay and I attempt to rejoin the tour group. Since we were flying into Detroit too late to make the first stop, the Hulstroms document Cornwell’s Turkey Farm. This is not only a turkey farm where they raise turkeys it’s also an all-turkey restaurant. (Photos by Hulstrom.) After the turkeys, the group…
