on my way to NH for a week in my quest to drive my Ford in all 48 states. Still haven't found a good car guy or car interest to visit while in Vt. When this trip ,is over, I will only have 5 states to go.

"Defecated to the advancement of flatheads" Now, that's funny.

Cecil, when in Vt. You should make a strong efort to stop and visit Ol'Ron. He has some interesting flathead projects in the works . If you have time he will let you take him to the City slicker diner. Cecil I can promise you will leave vt with a lot of very interesting info about flatheads.
Regards, Don

Hey Cecil, Good happy motoring. If you get to Belfast Maine, make sure you go to Young's Lobster Pound. Awesome fresh lobster at rock bottom prices. I'm thinking of ordering a few from them right now!

Cecil, you and Kay have a good and safe trip. On a previous Barner's tour in NE we did Hemmings, spent some time with Ol Ron learning about his past and present Flathead adventures. Plus he served us some of his famous "Hot Cam" chilli. Visited a Glass Blowers Shop and watched him make all sorts of nice glass items. We also rode the steam powered Cog Train to the top of Mt Washington. Had a great time. If you are planning to go into Maine, Chuck (41ford1) can tell you about some of the places we visited last year, including Walt Duponts shop. Had a great time on that tour as well.

Bill, I don't mind missing the foliage so much since I have seen it so many times in the past, having driven a tour bus to NE 1 or more time each year for over 30 years, I just hope I also miss the snow. LOL
