Ready, Set, Go

Well, here we go again -- heading from Whidbey Island to Auburn Indiana for the annual ACD Labor Day reunion. In many ways, this is a repeat performance of our 2007 trip. The same four Cords will be making the trip and many of the same characters will be along for the ride. Gail and Joyce Shaw arrived at our home on Whidbey Saturday evening (a full two days before we expected them). Last year Gail drove solo - this year he has Joyce as his co-pilot. They will be driving their 1936 Cord Westchester. Hard to imagine but they have already logged over 1,000 miles on their trip.
We'll head out as team early Wednesday morning. Planning to leave Whidbey by 7:30 and drive north over Deception Pass bridge. Barrie and I will be driving our trusty 1937 Cord Beverly. By the time we complete this trip, we will have driven "Tinkerbelle" over 40,000 in just 5 years. Just a few miles further down the road we'll meet up with Don and Arlene Wohlwend who will once again be driving their 1937 Cord S/C convertible coupe.
We'll head east as a team of three until we meet up with Josh & Betty Malks in Cody Wyoming.
More later
