If you are tired of these I won't post any more.
It was a great trip. In spite of some cars overheating and gas-o-hol problems the trip was fantastic.

Post away!

It's much more beautiful than the wall to wall houses where I live.

I would be interested in hearing how new/old the radiators were and what type of fan set up was used on the A's that overheated. My wife and I did a Big Bend National Park tour on our own with my late '31 Slant Windshield 4 Door Sedan back in 1988 and was shocked that with a high one day of 114F the Model A just purred along with no mechanical troubles. We were stuck on the side of the road at one point with 2 flat tires at the same time and only one spare! Lucky that I threw a bicycle tire patch kit in the back seat and did the repair right there on the side of the road near Boquillas Canyon. Huge cactus thorns and sweltering heat! I had to stop every 5 minutes or so to rest while taking the tire apart to apply the patch.
