(Answer at the bottom!)
On May 4, 2009, Dave and I, along with Henry, our Capitol A TeddyBear whom we have adopted as our “son,” will begin our four-corner journey across America in our 1929 Model A Tudor. Leaving from the west side of the California State Capitol in Sacramento, California, and traveling west to the Pacific Ocean before heading south, our plan is to travel the two-lane highways through the often by-passed historic centers of small town America.
Once we hit San Diego California, we will head east until we arrive in Florida, then turn northward…our ultimate Northeast destination is Bath, Maine after a brief stop over for a family reunion in Coalport, PA. Do we dare take the car into NYC? We have not yet decided…but Times Square is where we begin the westward journey, following along the historic Lincoln Highway until we reach Wyoming when we head north to travel through the Grand Tetons, and then Yellowstone National Park for a glimpse of Old Faithful. From Yellowstone, we will again head west to Washington before turning south once again, and back home to Sacramento. Our goal is to accomplish this without touching a freeway!
Our itinerary is loosely woven to include friends and family along the way, or stopovers whenever something strikes our fancy, or time for those necessary roadside repairs. Traveling no more than 200 miles each day, we hope to be back sometime in September. We will be traveling solo, camping when the weather is fine, and availing ourselves of the local B and B’s or motels when it is not.
Please keep us in your thoughts and prayers…
Dave and Peggy
