Seth, Frank and I became great traveling friends on the 2013 cross country tour...this happened on an almost daily basis because the rest of the crew seemed to take off earlier than scheduled from the hotels each morning. This may have been some type of a subliminal message for us, but we could have cared less since we created our own adventures each day that turned out to be unforgettable awesome fun .

Just a few of the many pictures taken on this trip.....

ps...in the 4th picture below we had pulled over on the shoulder of Rt 50, "The Loneliest Highway" as it's called, in Nevada, trying to find my second, and last spare, windshield wiper and arm that had just blown off at 70+ mph while trying to keep up with Frank. We did keep it at about 60-65 after that, until I picked up 2 sets of NOS blades and arms at the Coate Garage in Fallon, Nevada .
