Default Florida Bash Trek

Got home to NH after the FL Barners Bash on Saturday night. We took a coastal route through Savannah, Charleston and Atlantic City, We crossed the Chesepeake bay via the bridge-tunnel and the ferry across Delaware Bay. All in all We had a great time getting to FL and returning. We utilized the Auto-train going down. It was no problems. I would recommend using that service. The linked slide show is a quick summary of the trip.

Yes. Its pretty much a stock 215" six with the exception of bolt on goodies. Fenton split header, Offy 2 pot manifold with Holley 1904s and an Offy valve cover. It ran the trip with no problems. The more it ran the better it ran.

Pete,
I must have been on the wrong road. We did go though Margate to get to AC. We didn't see any elephants.

Lucy was built in the 1800's as an attraction to get people to buy realestate. Although it's been moved, it still survives...

The Miss Shelly award arrived today. It is greatly appreciated even though not really deserved. Now I will have to have a watch pocket sewn into all of my pants, or start wearing a vest, one or the other. lol

Someone suggested I post a picture of myself with the watch. I will try to do that if I can remember how to do it.

Thanks again to everyone involved.

Lawson
