Cooling it in Colorado . . .

Okay, so it’s still extremely warm during our travels and we’re still refilling the fan/mist bottles but every once in awhile a light rain or a wind will unexpectedly travel through the pass that we are following and you talk about counting your blessings. The landscape through the scenic backroads of Utah and Colorado is absolutely incredible. The colors reflected by the canyon walls are endless and vary in every shape imaginable. -Tammy

Today was oil change day for the A Models. We pull into a secluded area of a Walmart parking lot, drain the oil into a pan, pour the new oil in, pour the old oil into the empty containers, wipe everything down, trade the old oil for new and we have both cars ready to go by the time Tammy and Judy get back with the ice for the coolers. Jiffy Lube couldn’t do much better.
On a sad note, after nearly eighty years of service the drivers door latch spring broke on the coupe. We had stopped to ask a police officer for directions to a campground and the conversation drifted into how reliable these old cars are. Unfortunately they also never fail to keep you humble, as we left the door wouldn’t latch. Red faced, I managed to keep it closed with my elbow out the window until we got out of sight. We brought a lot of parts on the trip but no door latch springs. After bungee cords and duct tape were determined to be unacceptable solutions we discovered that a plastic clip used to close a potato chip bag contained a metal spring that made the latch work like new. Thank you Powell Martin  for that Farm Bureau Insurance clip, I could use another if you still have any.
We have been truly blessed on this tour with few repairs being needed and the luxury of making them in the campground. Not a single day has been lost due to car breakdowns.  Today we were dreading a nearly 10,000 ft climb over the Rocky Mountains. We started our day at 4:30 am to avoid the heat but it was going to be afternoon before we reached the pass. As we approached the mountain the clouds gathered and we felt the temperatures drop. Just before we started the climb a gentle rain fell and the old cars chugged to the peak without a single problem. Many would say we were just lucky but I prefer to believe the good Lord is keeping an eye on us.

The stark beauty of this area is beyond what I can describe and I am thankful for the opportunity to experience it at the slower pace these old cars require. However,  I have to admit looking forward to some flat land with miles and miles of corn. I don’t care how dry it is 100 degrees is just too hot for me.
