Don Coatney Posted June 21, 2015 Report Posted June 21, 2015 PP I assume you know there is a car show in Noblesville today. Google it. Quote
pflaming Posted June 21, 2015 Author Report Posted June 21, 2015 Don, no! But I do now and will get there. TKS. You coming down? Quote
pflaming Posted June 21, 2015 Author Report Posted June 21, 2015 Noblesville Car Show: there were probably some 20 mopars, here are some. 2 Quote
pflaming Posted June 22, 2015 Author Report Posted June 22, 2015 PA, I found the cat! Others, some under the hood shots. Quote
Plymouthy Adams Posted June 22, 2015 Report Posted June 22, 2015 if that cat was not stuffed as shown..it soon would be if found on any of my cars... Quote
pflaming Posted June 22, 2015 Author Report Posted June 22, 2015 I've been in 48 of the 50 states, will see the last two, ND & Montana in August. But most of that was fly in / fly out. To experience the cultural, geographical, climatic changes by cross country driving is truly inspiring. But the next time acrosss will not be a "stop" planned trip. I will stop where and when I please, so that means I will either pull a bed trailer or have one on my vehicle. And my route will be determined by where forum members are. With one " pending " exception we haven't met one we haven't liked and enjoyed. The colored one we saw in Pogosa Springs, CO, the white one a neighbor wants me to buy. Quote
greg g Posted June 22, 2015 Report Posted June 22, 2015 Well they do look serviceable. I believe the propane set up on the colorful one is no longer legal in the US. You probably would notget puled over by the propane police but refills would likely be a no go. Quote
Plymouthy Adams Posted June 22, 2015 Report Posted June 22, 2015 I always said PP should live in a trailer down by the river.. Quote
pflaming Posted June 22, 2015 Author Report Posted June 22, 2015 (edited) If I should get me a place by a river, then this might come in handy, cat or no cat! I could put a camper on it and become a " man for all seasons "!!! Edited June 22, 2015 by pflaming Quote
pflaming Posted June 24, 2015 Author Report Posted June 24, 2015 (edited) In berea, ky., just south of Lexington. Hawks Nest tomorrow. Visited a nephew at a baptist seminary today, was chosen as guest of the day here at Boone Historic Hotel and received a free dessert. 3,000 miles so far. Certainly looking forward to eastern Kentucky and West Virginia tomorrow. Edited June 24, 2015 by pflaming Quote
Ulu Posted June 24, 2015 Report Posted June 24, 2015 . . . chosen as guest of the day here . . . Paul, with your friendly demeanor and winning smile, that doesn't surprise me one bit. ( I hope you told those guys to pray for more rain.) Quote

pflaming Posted June 27, 2015 Author Report Posted June 27, 2015 I noticed that, but I wondered why Plymouthy was written over and why so many pics in the post offices? Headed to mass. On Tuesday to meet up with Mark D. 1 Quote
Mark D Posted June 28, 2015 Report Posted June 28, 2015 Looking forward to it. Call when you hit NYC. Quote
pflaming Posted June 28, 2015 Author Report Posted June 28, 2015 A few more pics from Harpers Ferry. Quote
Plymouthy Adams Posted June 28, 2015 Report Posted June 28, 2015 looked till I strained my eyes but never saw the first ferry......nor anyone I could assume to be Mr. Harper....what kind of scam you trying to pull here PP Quote
pflaming Posted June 29, 2015 Author Report Posted June 29, 2015 I find geography interesting, much more so than cities. It is interesting to look at the top of the terrain. For example on top of the mesas in Arizona etc, is often a cap of fertile land which means that at one time the entire area was a fertile plain. It is very interesting how the rivers have cut gorges through a high ridge to work their way to the ocean. That gives credibility to a Noah type planetary flood. We will be on the road again tomorrow. Some random pics, the one is presumed to be a self portrait of Plymouthy!! Quote
pflaming Posted June 29, 2015 Author Report Posted June 29, 2015 Gettysburg, an amazing event. A few pics that may interest you. They had quite a collection of rifles and pistols. . Quote
greg g Posted June 30, 2015 Report Posted June 30, 2015 If you look closely at the picture with the limestone bridge supports you will see a section of darker stones at the top of the construction. If you visually remove these darker stones you will then see that these supports originally carried not rails or a road way but were actually the aqueduct for how the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal crossed the river/s there. The darker blocks were added after the canal shut down to re purpose the piers to carry a later road way. By looking at the early and later construction you can get a view of the stepped walls that carried the 4 foot depth of the canal. The C and O carried goods west and coal east its total length was about 160 miles. Quote
pflaming Posted June 30, 2015 Author Report Posted June 30, 2015 We bipassed Pocono and drove on to Montgomery NY. On to Lancaster MA. Drove in rain or over cast sky's all day. Discovered too late about the car museum in Hershey, PA or certainly would have stopped. Aerial view of Harpers Ferry, and a diner we found in a small eastern pa village, great food! Quote
