stunning photos, all of them, I could look at views like P1040236R & P1040239R all day, as you know we don’t get wide open spaces quite like that over here

Yea third times a charm.

The first trip in our 1970 chally, I lost a spark plug lead, fixed it the next day but the car spent the day on a trailer, but I did drive it home.

The second trip,same car, I almost made it home but a nasty pot hole in Utah cracked the K frame, made it to Vail, called AAA, Tow truck got a flat, finally made it home on a flat bed :oops: :oops: :oops:

NOW go modern

This time, garage door to garage door, no issues, no weather, no flats,no wrecks....................STOKED.........MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!!!!

Well Dave is nursing a Tequila hang over :drunken:

We did make it to Mt Rushmore,and Crazy Horse. they are in the Black hills of South Dakota

Both very cool places,Crazy horse had the better visitors center, but since it is donation funded,it will be a very long time until it is done.

One more day I am trying to get Dave down to Cave of the winds here in Colorado, as well as see the Pikes Peak hill climb cuda :thumbright: :thumbright: :thumbright:

we visited 12 states in the western half of the U.S. in roughly 10 days,not a bad run,4000 miles on the ticker. :thumbright: :thumbright: :thumbright:

OK to finish up this fantasy dream trip ,Dave in his dream there is no weather, and we had no rain even in San Fran,amazing weather, even for me.

We did do a few things here in Colorado before the trip and after.

First place we went to was Mopar Masters, here in Denver, a great family run biz, great mates too.

Then it was off to the Rambler ranch, 700 cars of all makes, most all in climate controlled buildings, it is a national museum,with mannequins, dressed in period correct attire, and a plethora of car memorabilia.
