Those look like the roads I'm expecting to find in NM. Fun!

That would make your F350 built in the Norfolk VA assembly plant. I visited it 3 times from the early 1950s until it closed. We used to run autocross events in the parking lot on Sundays (being president of the local Mustang club helped).

Jeff - You could drive him to the show in September. Come on the east side of the great lakes and go back up the west side. You'd have paint everywhere!

Gary, remember this suggestion?

Was a GREAT idea!

Hope you had a nice trip with Janey!

Sorry about my silence, I am very busy at office this fall...

Soon I'll find some time to complete Big Brother's Big Tour post with pictures of our road to home, from Skiatook. Everything went well, absolutely no issue, was a fabulous trip.

USA is a so nice country, nice people, nice landscapes, our heads full of wonderful memories!

Idk. An IH 549 would be cool in one of our trucks. If it would fit that is.

Jeff! I've been thinking I needed to email you and see what happened. Glad to see that you two made it home with no problems!

As for the map, there sure is a lot of gray still showing.

But you are right, there are soooooo many memories associated with your trip. So VERY glad you two came to the show. It was so wonderful to meet you.

And I can't wait to see "the rest of the story."
