Sorry for no contact for a few days. It was a busy time in Dearborn and then we went to the Amish land...no internet connections, hardly had a cell service....but lots of horses, buggies and flies!!
Saturday in Dearborn started with a lap around the Ford test track in the Deuce, then 2 laps around the road course in a hot Mustang with a pro driver at the wheel. 110 down the straight a way then a hard right and a left and so on.....cool!!
The rest of the day was spent at Greenfield Village, we got to park on the grass inside the Village. Saturday night was a dinner hosted by Bob Drake at Ford World Hdqs.....(more free food) Later that night they had two blowup movie screens set up for Drive in Night...showed the movie American Graffiti on both screens, that was fun!
Sunday we got an early start to pack the car and then head to The Edsel Ford Estate for a tour and brunch, that was an awesome place. Photos were taken of each car at the front door and a guided tour of each room, they knew how to live!
After brunch we headed for Auburn IN with Jack and Gayle from Hawaii with their Deuce roadster. We have stayed at the Auburn Inn one day in each of the last three months, it has become my favorite hotel. It is a Victorian style with photos of Auburns and Duessies in the hallways, free drinks at 5 PM, free milk and cookies at 8, and breakfast in the morning. Monday morning Jack and Gayle headed for the west coast, sad to see them go, I have been with them almost every day since June in LA. They are fun people. We headed for Shipshewanna IN, the land of the Amish. Monday night we had dinner with an Amish family in their home, then stayed at a B&B both Monday and Tuesday nights. Wednesday morning we headed for Madison WI, arrived here about 5 PM. We will go by our old home visit some neighbors that are still around.

Goodguys start on Friday, should be a fun weekend. see ya all later.
