Default Interesting Trip To Alaska

Go to the "A" Model Ford Forum and look for "INTERESTING TRIP TO ALASKA" by Duffy1. Two "A" Models traveled from Texas to Alaska, and as of today (7-27-13) are on their way back.
This trip is well documented with many beautiful photos.
You can click onto www.GinsPhotos.com to see this.

Mike:
THANKS for letting us know.
Those are some amazing pictures.
There is so much that MOM Nature gave us that can be seen at 42-45 M.P.H.
Verses interstate driving @ 65-80 M.P.H.
I hope others slow down and take a look.

They started on May 21st and still on the road. In fact, they are broken down, close to Yellowstone National Park, with some bad insert bearings.

One of our car club members recently did the opposite in a model a pickup. He drove from Alaska to the lower 48 and back again with his Grandson as his copilot.
