frankieflathead Posted July 23, 2013 Report Share Posted July 23, 2013 (edited) First stop, Weston, Vt.... A photo op on the boat ramp at Amherst Lake.... At the Calvin Coolidge farm in Plymouth..... Advice well taken. Note the grade in the background. Needed second gear for it..... "It ain't a Plymouth, it's a Dodge!" Sorry, I just couldn't resist it .... My little summer place in Woodstock ..... Big sky in Woodstock, Vermont..... Edited July 23, 2013 by frankieflathead 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frankieflathead Posted July 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2013 (edited) You're very welcome, Mark. One of the rare days we've had this summer when it wasn't pouring rain or stinkin' hot! Edited July 23, 2013 by frankieflathead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pflaming Posted July 23, 2013 Report Share Posted July 23, 2013 From Bath, ME we drove across the top of NH into the top of VT on hyw 22 to hwy 2 over the divide, called the AP then down to Middlebury. The rain up in the mountains was so fine there were no rain drops, yet we needed the wipers all the time. I've never experienced moisture in the air like that. We never saw the sky yet the drive was fantastic. The bridge is on the VT / NY border, so we drove into NY. The Church is in Middlebury, VT.

LAKOTA169 Posted July 23, 2013 Report Share Posted July 23, 2013 Great pictures and looks like a fun drive. The longest drive I've done in my '37 is 72 miles. That was last month. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frankieflathead Posted July 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2013 (edited) Yup, know that kind of mist all too well, Mark. 110% humidity and gets into everything! I know "downtown" Middlebury pretty well, too. There was a MoPaR show at the Dodge dealer scheduled for last June 16 that I wanted to go to, but the weather was just dreadful. It's about 100 miles from me, and running a 200 mile round trip in the pouring rain isn't my idea of having fun with an old car.

That was last month. Thanx, it was. Days nice enough to attempt a long cruise have been few and far between this year. Made this run, two 200 milers,..... http://p15-d24.com/topic/33456-on-the-road-part-1/?hl=%2Bgreat+%2Bbarrington#entry336026 ..and a couple of 80 milers over to Hemmings Motor News Cruise Nights.

frankieflathead Posted July 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2013 We gotta plan a meeting this fall. Your a mornings drive away for me and my cars new sneakers need some miles. Sounds like a good idea. I go through Bolton on the way to the ATHS truck show in Hudson when I go. I like to grab lunch to go at the farm store there on Rt. 117.

Mark D Posted July 24, 2013 Report Share Posted July 24, 2013 I'm on the other side of 495 near the Stow town line. Been to that show several times. Bolton orchard must've been where you ate lunch, good eats. Sounds like a good idea. I go through Bolton on the way to the ATHS truck show in Hudson when I go.

LAKOTA169 Posted July 24, 2013 Report Share Posted July 24, 2013 I'm envious of you people who can drive their cars through scenic areas. When I go out, this is what I see mostly. On the way to a cruise night tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frankieflathead Posted July 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2013 (edited) Yeah. The upside is that I drove for miles that day without seeing another car. The downside, as it is in Michigan, is that the cruising season up here is terribly short. And hey, you get the Woodward Dream Cruise every year, right?

pflaming Posted July 24, 2013 Report Share Posted July 24, 2013 Some years ago I got onto the toll road that goes north out of Paramaus NJ. For a while I thought I would have to put in an order for a year of sandwiches. That's when I learned that six rights make a U-turn. After that I NEVER drove in NJ with less than a half a tank of fuel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The downside, as it is in Michigan, is that the cruising season up here is terribly short. And hey, you get the Woodward Dream Cruise every year, right? Your right, Frankie, Dream Cruise is next month. 40K+ cars and 1 million people trying to occupy 16 miles of 8 lane divided highway. Last year, a couple of days before the Cruise, it took me 40 minutes to go 1 mile (imagine what it's like on the day OF the Cruise). Hey Lakota, can you explain is as few words possible how to make a left hand turn in Michigan???? It makes for interesting reading on Mapquest printouts.... If it's a divided road, to make a Michigan Left, you go past the road you want to turn on. Then you get in a left turn only lane and turn back and make a right turn on the road you wanted. If it is a 3 lane road, center lane is for left turns. If it's 2 lanes, you make a normal left turn (and hope nobody rearends you). Three rights Your right, Don. Two wrongs don't make a right, but 3 rights make a left. Had to do that when my left turn signal bulb burned out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
