Car Info Oil pressure 60, Temp 190, mpg 13-14.5 (3.70 rear) Third latch works like a charm. No leaks from front of top. Thank you Carl Hinkson (Blockman) for such a great engine rebuild. Only state and county roads. No traffic, speeds about 55 to 70 all day. It is a dream ride.
The Ride I have stayed on blue highways about 80% of the time. Small hamlets, Main Streets, corn and beans in the fields. Sometimes I can go 10 min. without seeing a car. Small town USA. I love to drive and this drive is a Corvette owners dream. I feel very privileged to have the time, the car and family support to under take such a trip. Strangers have opened their homes to me and I hope that my visit gives them back as much as they give me.
I am still waiting for Harvey to show up in the passenger seat, part of this trip was to be self examination and spiritual growth. I guess it has been too hot . I will keep you posted if Harvey shows. I am sorry for the delay in writing this blog , thanks for your patience.
I am staying tonight in a small town called Battle Ground, IN. It was where the battle of Tippecanoe was fought during the war of 1812. Off to Grafton WI on Sunday. Keep the light on.
