He managed to find it and we talked for a bit and then went over to his house to see his other cars. He has a pretty nice little 38 coupe.
My highest elevation has been 9945 as I was exiting Yosemite. I only managed 200 miles today but I wanted to stop and enjoy the scenery. I was going to try for Ely but it was just a bit too late and decided to stop early. Now after looking at a map I'm going to stay a bit more south heading to 395 to 93 going towards Utah.

Frank, it was great meeting you. A little help from above? I was heading down 95 minding my own business in the '29 woody and ting ting tinggggg goes a hubcap. So I pulled over and backed into a parking space at the Mexican restaurant, and here comes this gorgeous '49 convertible up the road. What a lovely car! Style and comfort.

Just outside of Tonopah on US 6 there's a sign that says "Next Gas 168 Miles" My dad's gone now, but I've got a picture of him with a gas can standing next to that sign with his thumb out.

Frank, here's a pic of my late '31 coupe sitting on the border of Montana and Idaho, a little place called Monida up on the great divide. Has your name on it.
