Day 2 continued:
I was feeling a slight vibration, and thought I had a tire out of balance.  I saw a tire shop with the worker sitting on a chair waiting for some business.  I had him balance the front 2 tires:

Entering New Mexico:

More New Mexico scenery:

Day 3- Panhandle day (driving through Texas & Oklahoma panhandles):
I spent the night in San Jon New Mexico at a truck stop:

Entering Texas:

Here at Mickey D's posting todays log:


I will probably be making a detour and driving north to visit with Brandon (83 Eagle!).  Then to Ohio, and then to the meet.  I may get to visit others as well if it works out....Rich

Not really, I think the problem is in the rear.  I will try to find a place to do the rear soon.

Enjoy the drive roll guy I love the scenery. I wish I could make it out to the meet but my front end is not exactly highway worthy plus the whole work thing. Be safe and Have fun, Keep the pictures coming.
I Don't know why. But everybody's always talking about their STI or That guys EVO, I think I'll stick with my old, but reliable AmC. Did I ever tell you I was Full blooded Eagle?

Day 4:
I made it into Omaha. Stayed last night at a truck stop. Well actually they call it a "Travel Center".  I am headed over to Brandon's house a few miles away after I log out.  I just realized, you don't even need to go inside McDonald's to use the free internet.  I am sitting outside in the car.  Only one photo so far, more later....Rich

Day 4 continued:
Arrived at Brandon's house in time to go to church.  The service was great, and not unlike the church I attend at home.  After church we had a nice lunch at La Mesa mexican restaurant. The fish tacos tasted wonderful.   Brandon's car is very similar to mine, in fact they are almost twins!

I am planing to drive to Ohio to visit relatives, and maybe get a chance to visit Sean (sleepsundercars)....Rich
