Tuesday...North Platte, NE

We left Grand Junction about 7ish this morning and headed for Denver to have lunch with good friend Bart. We stopped at the Summit for a break, 11,000 ft high. There we met my new best friends.....Eddie and Iris, hotrodders from Belgium!! He has a model A coupe with a hopped up 4 banger, 39 brakes and all the other neat stuff. They had seen my rpu the night before at dinner in Grand Junction. I think he was surprised that I was driving. They were coming from the LARS also and going to Lincoln to a "banger meet" there. So cool to meet good folks like this.
We arrived in Denver right at noon and met Bart at IHOP. There in the lot I also met Larry...another long time roddder, he will be going to Pueblo this week to work registration. We had a great lunch...thanks Bart!!
Then it was off to North Platte. It was not as hot as yesterday. It started to sprinkle and thunder so we hit it and out ran the rain. It was a good drive. We arrived about 6, (lost an hour in the time change). It was 500 miles again but a great drive. In the morning its off to Lincoln to visit Roger, another deuce nut then onto Des Moines for a BBQ at Daves place and check over his newly purchased tudor.

Hi Dale, Mike, we loved talking to you guys on your trip home from the LARS. It's always great seeing real hot rodders who drive their hot rods and not just to the local drive-in but across country!!!!!!
Have a great and safe trip home,
Eddy and Iris
