Monday....................
We left Albuquerque about 7AM. The red lights got us split up into two groups. Three other deuces and me in the first group. The other four cars behind us. Just a few miles from town the 34 in the back group fried a distributor. We had no idea that it happened so just kept driving. We made it to Winslow, Arizone in time for an early lunch, so early that the cafe was not open yet. The gift shop called the cafe and they opened up the doors early just for us....we're so special!! Great food. We killed about two hours at lunch, taking pictures, looking at the neat little town all the time the Eagles were playing on the loudspeakers. The second half were fixed but still about 2 hours behind us. We decided to go onto Williams, AZ our stop over place. We arrived there at 2, checked into the hotel, Rodney and I elected to go onto the Grand Canyon, the others did not want to go.It was only 50 miles away, so an hour up, spent 45 minutes at the canyon and an hour back, we were back at the hotel by 5. The others had arrived a few minutes before we got back. We all went to a steak house for dinner, good food, good times.
Tomorrow is a real short day, about 160 miles but we will be doing several stops and photo ops.

Sunday......Albuquerque !!!
Had a rain storm last night, blew, rained......The cover blew up and the seat, floor was all wet. The worst thing was the atlas that was on the seat was sopping wet. Our two travel pillows were wet also. Rodney took the pillows inside the motel and used their big dryer, that worked. We should have thrown the atlas in the dryer too! I got towels and dried the inside.
We were on the road at 7AM. Had a good drive to Albuquerque, 500 miles. Stopped a few times to check out the sites. Visited Bozo's car collection in Tucumcari, that was a good break. One car ran out of gas five miles from the gas stop...almost made it.
We arrived in Albq about 4pm mtn time. Checked into the hotel, met another deuce guy in a 3w from Colorado. I knew of him, he knew of me, but we had never met before, nice finally to make that happen.
A local rodder met us and guided us to a Mexican place to eat. Good food but not outstanding, poor marquaritas...had one frozen...so so, so I ordered oen on the rocks, so so too, then the check came...7.75 each and they were little...I guess they are proud of them!!
We pull out at 6AM...I am tired and am going to bed.....too much fun!! no pictures tonight, I will post double days tomorrow, its time for bed.

Day 3 ...off to Duncan..Joing the" Greybeard Great Adventure" #3
A lousy night last night. A loud wild party on our hotel floor. About 2:30 AM, woke us both up. We called the front desk, they called the cops. Outside was a OKC Party bus, many people all over the parking lot, and severl very loud ones right down the hall from us. The cops finally got them all to leave and things were quite again. We are both tired today.
It was a short 70 miles to Dons place, had a great BBQ dinner, meet the others of the group. Traveling down the interstate I caught a pea size rock in the forhead thrown from a late model full fendered Gran Prix...that hurt!! No damage, no blood, just sore for a while. The rest of the trip will now be known as "The Greybeard Great Adventure #3" They all have tops...all but us. There is a 56 Chevy, 40 Ford coupe, 34 roadster, 32 3window, a couple of deuce roadstesr (with tops) and our rpu. We are leaving at 7AM in the morning....off to Albuquerque. Don made some red windshield strips stating the Greybeard Adventure #3, fun.
We stopped at OKC Classic Ford parts this morning and purchased a few little parts for the panel project. We also found a car wash and gave the rpu a nice bath, had to look good for the new friends!!
