MADE IT! Arrived in Frederick (Fred-neck for local Marylanders) about 4:15 PM.
What a trip! Folks, we have the most beautiful country. Even though my trip was a quick shot accross, i will always remember the great views up to Tahoe in California, the mountains and formations through Nevada, and Wyoming, The rockies on my right as the sun set, while traveling sout on I-25 between Cheyenne and Denver. The rolling plains of Kansas, and the farm fields through Missouri, Indiana and Ohio. The darned Appalachian Mtns with the never ending climbs up and coasting down. The thundershowers over the plains, and how the sky changed as we went from all blue in CA to the (unfortunate) haze and cloud cover on the east coast. I regret not having my still camera. I did take some video footage. Wish I'd had a camera mount and a remote on/off button. Poor car was covered with 2800 miles of dirt and dust. Most of that was just rinsed off by a good thundershower. And WOW what gas milage, 2800+ on 16 gallons (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/unsure.gif) (I forgot to unhook the speedometer). McMark - the tow bar survived fine. Good set up. I must take a few close ups underneath to show your design here. Give me some time to unpack the camera and PC. The Montana pulled the 914 fine. Overall fuel used was 150 gallons at roughly 20.2 MPG. Not bad for a 3.4 liter V6 pulling about 2500 lbs and loaded with another 700 of people and schtuff. And the Porsche tracked great too. There were times I must admit I forgot it was back there. Thanks to Eric and Sean for meeting us in SLC. If I hadn't been in such a hurry to cross I would have looked up more members to visit. I'm looking forward to getting settled into our house and getting out to some 914 gatherings and some autox too. Thanks also to the California crowd of 914 owners many of whom I met before I bought this car and many others I met at breakfasts, WCC05, and even over some of McMark's famous burgers. I will miss you all but will enjoy communicating here. As someone mentioned earlier, I've only "moved". This place, and our cars are great! |
