John and Matt Reynolds in Matt's TR6 and I in my TR250 left McDonalds on Cave
Creek Highway just off Hwy 17, at a little after 5:00 AM this morning.
We arrived in Lone Pine, CA at about 2:15 this afternoon, 583 miles from when I
zeroed my odometer in Scottsdale!
The drive was hot of course, but not nearly as HOT as I remember the similiar
drive to Lake Tahoe for Triumphest last October! Leaving that early in the
morning really helped. It was almost cool inWickenberg and didn't get really
hot until driving west out of Needles and across the Mohave!
It's nice here in Lone Pine now at 8:30 or so, as the sun has set below the
Sierra and Mt. Whitney. We had a nice dinner earlier at a very decent Mexican
restaurant.
Both cars are running great! The TR 6 has been faultless, while the TR250 has
continued to suffer from a balky hood latch (won't stay latched!) and the O/D
won't pull in unless the engine is turning pretty high RPMs! Typical of the
beast I'mm afraid!
All for now! We are off at a more reasonable time tomorrow at around 8:30 to
Susanville.
