Tuesday June 24

A short day today, 200 miles to Winnemucca, NV.......We are "stucka in Winnemucca". Barry's right rear bearing went south, we were lucky to get here. I found the "Flying A Garage" I met them on the Americruise last year. They were very nice and let us us their lift, called their mechanic back in to help. They are a private garage that works on cars for the soon to be museum, not an open shop.It was very nice that they let us in. We also got the 25 cent tour of the place.........WOW! talk about history of hot rods and race cars! Check the slide show for pics. If any one doesn't get the nightly slide shows, please email me at Thedeuceguy3@aol.com and I will send them to you.
Of course no one in town has the bearing, so it will be here in the morning at 8AM, slap it in and we should be on our way. Reno is now tomorrows destination, 170 miles away, should be there by 1 PM. More bad luck that ended in good luck, did not lose the wheel on the highway, found a great shop, nice place to stay and eat, did not put us behind that much......lots of luck.
