Blogging our journey from Restoration to Road Trip Joe and I will take my old treasure out of the shed, do a complete restoration and then drive coast to coast to coast. We will retrace the steps or a family road trip from NH to AZ. From Arizona, we will follow in the tire tracks of my father and his college buddies driving from Tucson to Seattle for the Worlds Fair. Join us for the journey...

Good to be home.
Well, we arrived at home around 6:15. Tempting as it was to take the Mass Pike from NY, we opted for Rt 2 and the mountain roads. It took an extra hour and a half, but it was worth it. Too much Interstate the past few days. Joe took the honor of the last driving shift and pulled into the driveway flawlessly. I guess 3000+ miles of driving practice and dealing with my constant instructions had made him quite the accomplished driver - flawless clutch work, and even getting used to the lack of power steering. I wonder if he will know how to drive any other car now :)
Mileage Check - ODO = 43,295 - Total Miles = 8,888 - you can't make up a number like that...
Not a scratch or dent in the car, and so many adventure moments to remember.
In addition to the photos on the blog, we have 128 GB of GoPro, digital video and photos from 2 cameras and the iPhones.
Joe is planning to compile a video / slide show of the trip. Maybe we can post it on YouTube to share with our followers.
