This post starts on August 31, 2019, and I'll try to describe tour highlights as the cars retrace the route of the US Army and Lt. Col. Dwight D. Eisenhower as they crossed America in the summer of 1919, just after the end of World War I. Tour Day 1: Washington DC to Gettyburg, PA.…
ARGH! TECHNOLOGY GLITCHES
Hi! Did you think I fell off the edge of the earth? Well, while Jay's been driving back and forth across the country, I've been stuck at home dealing with e-device issues! Isn't technology fun? Let's see, when I last posted, I believe Jay and George were on their way to Durham, NC, with an…
BACK ON TRACK
Finally! Maxi the military Model A, along with Jay and George, are back on track, working their way toward Washington DC. The goal for Tuesday night is Durham, NC (411 miles). But first the guys spent a little more time with Jack and Carol, and Jay fell in love with some of Jack's wood. Think…

A NEW ADVENTURE FOR 2019!

Some of you have already "met" our touring car, who is named Maxie, and this is what she looked like…
