Baton Pass

     After spending a few days in South Carolina being as helpful as possible to both Cindy and us, Mark loaded up my old 1986 Corvette, took official possession and headed north to New Hampshire. Thirty three years and 130,000 miles and two, four-day coast-to-coast trips. 120 mph on I-80 between Salt Lake City and Wendover. Pacific Coast Highway and Nineteen Mile Drive. (Check the blog dated 10Feb2015.)


     I can still drive it and did up until the day I gave it to Mark. I was going to have to give it up eventually, and this seemed like a good time. We are reaching the point where one car is enough. While I can use the Jeep, Durelle will not sit in, much less drive the Corvette. So now our car is a new one...a 2003 Jeep Liberty with 100K on the clock and another unrecorded 100K while being towed behind a motorhome. I've gotten good longevity out of my vehicles. My 1960 Valiant accumulated 29 years and 300,000 miles.

     Time passes.

It ran beautifully up to New Hampshire. Averaged 25 mpg at 75 mph 😁
