What a neat trip. Sounds like there have been some frustrations, but I am sure the memories of this trip down the road will be priceless.

Well we're in ONEIDA TENNESEE now. We made it here THURSDAY at around 6:30, and stayed in the local WALLY WORLD parking lot. We made it in a day early so we took a day and went out through the local back raods up into the CUMBERLAND PLATEAU. The others stayed back in HERRIMAN, so they'll meet us close to noon SATURDAY and we'll be heading into KENTUCKY. And then RICHMOND on SUNDAY as a large group as others are meeting us along the way in TENNESSEE, and another group in KENTUCKY. The real bummer is I found out the hard way that I'm allergic to cotton blooms as we passed by several cotton fields on TUESDAY through south GEORGIA. TUESDAY night I got real congested, and then by WEDNESDAY I was in a full on allergy attack with swollen sinuses and all.

SO since then I have been cramming just about every cold and allergy drug through me possible to keep my sinuses open so I can follow in the motorhome. I drove a bit on THURSDAY, but it sure got my sinuses flared up. Hopefully by SATURDAY my sinuses will be back to semi normal. I'll check back in the next time I find a WI-FI as the one I'm on now SUCKS!!!!

Well, WE'RE HERE! We made it in today around 2:30 with close to 20 of us in a row of model T's from one extreme to another. There was even a guy with an original model TT truck with a fifth wheel trailer on the back. Unfortunately it turns out my girlfriend's work all came down with a sinus infection right after we left, and now we are all sick. So it looks like she brought it along with her. Looking forward to tommorrow, there are supposed to be 856 model T's there that have registered for the event.

The other bummer is I have 2 transmissions waiting for me when I get home, one complete rebuild and another yet to be determined. So it looks like we will have to cut our return activities short. So I guess we'll have to live it up this week. When I get back I'll try to get some pics for you guys. I took off and left mine, but she remembered hers.

Well I got home last night at 10 PM. I'll try and get some pictures uploaded this afternoon, and gather up some of the newspaper links for all you's guys. I even managed to make the front page of the local paper up there

I live in Indianapolis, Indiana, about an hour west of Richmond, IN where the Model T reunion was held. I saw T's on the road all week before the event. I took my V20 to Brookville Lake last weekend, and I must have seen 20 of them on the way home.

Only 20?, you should have seen CENTERVILLE and RICHMOND. They were EVERYWHERE!
