Greetings folks,

Between the great job being super busy, working on sewing machines, working on my "new" 1965 Corvair, and getting the final details done for my Wedding on May 20th, life has not been boring...

I am posting this because The day after we get married, Heather and I are hitting the road and driving on a whirlwind trip across the entire country to the east coast. Heather has never really been east of Nevada, so I am introducing her to the "original 13"

Until we get to Boston we will have my 1867 MOP Grover & Baker cabinet in the rental vehicle, it is being delivered to the person who will be preparing it for it's new life in a South Carolina Museum.

The outbound trip is taking the southern route, the return trip is the northern route. Anyone wanna meet up for lunch/dinner along the way?

Also, Since we will be empty on the way back I can do an East Coast to West Coast mule/shuttle service for folks. (but side trips off the main route will need to be kept to a minimum.

The general plan is:

Mrs. SewNSew

Wow congratulations on the upcoming wedding and the trip! How did it come to pass that a museum will have your Grover and Baker?

Congratulation!! You will be exhausted after that long of a road trip. My family car was a 1960 Corvair that never leaked a drop of oil until I drove it over the 100,000 milestone. Make time for some hiking in Yosemite. You will never regret it. Love Philadelphia with all the history that city has. I enjoyed finding the resting place of men who had signed the Declaration of Independence. Be sure to see the Liberty Bell and Independence Hall. So awe inspiring.

my husband has worked for a construction company for many many years. they sent us all over the country to new jobs for years. as a result of moving every few months to new jobs that were usually spaced across the full width of the continental United States, we have traveled coast to coast many times & visited as many historical places as we could. enjoy your trip!! this is such a beautiful country filled w beautiful people! and if, as you cross the northern tier route, you find yourself crossing washington state via hwy 90 ...we'd be delighted to wander north a bit and meet you for lunch in a historic mining town or ??? ...

Thanks folks. (FYI - NOT driving the Corvair on this trip....shudder)

Yeah, The only two states I have not been to myself are Maine and Hawaii.... Heather, not so much. It bugs me that she has never seen the Historical places of the US herself, so we are making that the goal of the honeymoon. We have been together for more than 10 years, and she was actually my best friends girlfriend in HS, so the honeymoon is more of a vacation...

Heather and I had never been to Yosemite when we went last year. We were both so moved that we decided to delay the wedding for a year to make the necessary reservations to get married there. Yeah, amazing place. This is the spot we are getting married in.

MrsSewnSew - because they offered me over 7x what I paid for it.....

Rogue - Sorry, nope, Utah down to California directly. But, if you are up to a road trip later we will be in Willits in northern CA in late August for the Kinetic Carnival with the whole collection displayed in the Mendicino County Museum

just to put it in perspective....
