Wednesday

Finally..... a new post. Monday night we were in Las Vegas, Internet was $15..no dice. Last night, besides getting to the hotel at 10 PM I could not get on the Internet.
We had a great trip to Vegas. We got to see Art Goldstrum's private collection, wow a great place. Three buildings of cars and neat stuff.Real nice people too.
Tuesday it was of to Richfield, UT. First we stopped at Las Vegas Speedway for a tour and then over to Shelby's factory. A nice time. Then it was off towards Vegas and onto Richfield. The only problem was that we left Vegas at 11 AM to drive across the desert...with no top. It was quite warm. Just outside of St George the guys that I was driving with in a neat 34 Phaeton had electric fuel pump problems...like it stopped! We messed with it for a bit then gave up, he had a spare, put that on on the roadside, drove 5 miles and it died, this time on a small shoulder part of the highway, going up a long hill, half way up. I drove to the top to park out of harms way. We jacked the car up, messed with it, could not get it to work. I walked up the hill to my car and got my spare pump, we mounted it on with some tie wraps that I had, it worked. It all sounds easy but took us a couple of hours.
We drove on and drove thru Zion Nat'l Park north on 89 and finally got to the hotel at 10 AM. I was tired and beat, it was 100 degrees on the road side, that is HOT !
Today it was off to Grand Junction by the way of Moab Utah by the arches...very pretty...warm but not as hot, maybe only 90.
In Grand Junction we visited Tammy Allen car collection, she is the blonde that sits in the front row of the BJ auction and buys cars. Nice place,loys of nice cars, no pictures allowed!!
