  I am posting each day as a new discussion. Bruce, Feel free to take what is here and put it in the trip page that was made up or tell me to do something different. Or anyone else following please make suggestions. they are not great but I post driving pics to try and give a feel for the trip.

We are now somewhere in Indiana. This morning started with drizzle and rain. The big news of the day is Arel's top ripping off his 35. Dick R had to get his shock that came loose fixed but he was up and running by 9 am. John Mason and I headed out to Leaman's hardware store, which we were told was an old Amish hardware store. I should have know better when I found it on the web.
But we met up with Arel and when we pulled onto Route 30 there was Dick and Joan in the Mercury so the 4 of us sort of traveled to Auburn together with a lunch stop along the way. Some of our group went to the Auburn Cord museum but I arrived too late to visit it. I guess it is an excuse to come back here.
I have posted pics of our ride, which was through mostly farm country and at the foundation museum.

  With respect to "they are not great".........

Please continue to post all your trip photos. This is a terrific idea for touring. You making the effort to take photos and post them daily is much appreciated and fun to watch.

Hopefully future groups will continue the practice.

  Frank -- you are doing great!!
I have created a Current News heading that tells people to 'follow along' under General Ford Discussion.
Keep up the good work, and safe travels -- see you soon.

  Frank, I'm enjoying this trip from the "left coast". Tell Arel to get out the duct tape and patch up the top! Duct tape is good for everything. Stay safe and see you in Tahoe. I'm checking your report every day. Tom

  Thanks everyone. If any of you are on facebook follow Early Ford V8 tour Across America. I tend to put updates during the day. It would be better if I did not have to drive also.
