Going great! 1050 miles down 950 to go! Today was a long day with mountain passes reaching up to 7,200 feel, 30 mph head wind, and snow but the cruiser did great.

Had a few of these guys stop by for the night here. These guys are the younger versions of us older gear heads. Good to see the connection that will be life long. This is the future of our car hobby. Dirty hands, great stories and good laughs all evening.
