As you have seen, Military Maxie (and Jay and George) have been travelling from Cambria, California, toward Washington DC for the start of the Lincoln Highway recreation of the first transcontinental military convoy across the states. So far, the route has been pretty predictable – but check out Saturday’s detour to the South: Hendersonville (a […]
MILITARY MAXI MOVES THROUGH MIDDLE AMERICA!
Maxi the military Model A and Jay and George are working their way across middle America… On Thursday, they drove from Colorado Springs, CO, to Higginsville, Missouri, just east of Kansas City, MO, (635 miles). The first photo the guys sent from Kansas shows a young Ike and Mamie at the Dwight D. Eisenhower Library,…
THE NEW ADVENTURE, POST #2
Hi again! In my last post, you met Maxi, the Military Model A, who is on her way from Cambria, CA, to Washington DC to participate in the 100thanniversary recreation of the first US transcontinental military convoy along the Lincoln Highway. Jay and travel companion George are trailering Maxi, and they are travelling faster than…
A NEW ADVENTURE FOR 2019!
Hello! It's been about a year since we last posted, so it's time for another travel adventure! This year, it's a domestic trip (actually several connected trips) in our 1931 Town Sedan Model A Ford. Some of you have already "met" our touring car, who is named Maxie, and this is what she looked like…
Day 11 (End) of Our Icelandic Road Trip
The sun came out for our trip back to Keflavik to return the motorhome. One last shot from Porlakshofn and a few from the road: Our Last Supper – Oops! I mean breakfast -- with our farm-fresh eggs: Sights on the way to and in Reykjavik: Our last gas up: Last goodbye to the motorhome,…
Day 10 of Our Icelandic Road Trip
Rainy, windy day today as we completed our circumnavigation of Iceland. Our guest house tonight is in Porlakshofn. This is an interesting word, as the first letter is not in our alphabet. In Icelandic it looks like a strange “p” but it’s pronounced “th” like in “the”. We had lunch pretty late. After lunch views:…
Day 9 of Our Icelandic Road Trip
We’re remaining in Grundarfjordur again tonight, so today was a trip around the Snaefellsnes Peninsula. Here are morning sights. We started so early that even the sea gulls were still sleeping! I think this is our first breakfast on the road: Continuing westward on the peninsula, we had more interesting views...The ship’s shore excursion missed…
Day 8 of Our Icelandic Road Trip
Life is such an adventure! It was still rainy this morning, and the “gravel” road out to the street was really only dirt because this is a new development. The van slid backwards in the mud, and we got stuck. The construction workers across the way were on coffee break and we couldn’t reach the…
Day 7 of Our Icelandic Road Trip
We deviated a little from the Ring Road again as we headed from Husavik to Hvammstangi (another town I can’t pronounce). Here are sights between Husavik and Akureyi. We stopped in Akureyi, which was one of the stops on our cruise. It sure looked strange to see a large ship where our pretty little ship…
Day 6 of Our Icelandic Road Trip
Today we stayed in Husavik. However, we had an early morning upset -- AT&T cut off our e-mail. It's very frustrating to try to fix something like that from overseas -- especially when the "chat" function isn't working because it's the middle of the night at home. First stop was the Visitors’ Center, which was…
