For those that are interested, here are our pictures we never had time to sort or post during the trip.

We left Hagerstown around 7 :15am yesterday morning under a cloudy sky but not scary. We said a last goodbye to our friend Jon Boyton. At the first stop, we said goodbye to the Boston-Mabin family. Only 4 buggies left (Jessica and Rick, Lucie and André, Coleen and Todd, Vincent and I). About 20 mile...

Yesterday morning we left Anderson sadden because it was the end for Sue and Bud. Joe, Jeffery and Chris joined us at the hotel and rode for a while with us. First stop, the Hannawacker left us. Larry Sr and Jr cought a cold and didn’t fill well. They decided to go straight home by the shortest rout...

This morning we left WDW around 6:30am. A long day was waiting ahead of us and our friend Chris Lewis was waiting for us for a get together at his house with Joseph Wheeler and Jeffery Holt. Jayne and Joe didn’t travel with us because they were going straight to their house in Illinois, we met them ...

This morning it was hard to get out of the bed….I really need more sleep. We joined the rest of the group for breakfast around 8:20am. The software to buy the park tickets was not working. We extended the breakfast a little bit. Jon Boyton decided to join us at Epcot, the other people were going to ...

So sorry, I am not disciplined because we are having too much fun and not enough sleep. Yesterday morning, my dad gave me a gift…a thunderstorm with lightning, thunder, wind and more. We were supposed to leave at 6:30am but we postponed a little. After 2.5 hours I would say, the sun came back with u...

Here's our recap from day before last... Hard to keep up. Today people (and us) enjoyed having a relax day. Stephanie, Paul, Bud, Vincent and I went really early to the southern point of the North America to take a few pictures. At this location, we are only 90 miles (145km) from Cuba. After that, w...

Really long day yesterday (we arrived at the hotel at midnight after dinner on the road). Everything went well, our Florida friends (Brian, Michael, Tony, DJ and relatives) came to welcome us. It was still an extremely hot day, we went on the beach in Daytona, a policeman stopped us when we got off ...

Tonight we will not see any picture and the recap will be short and sweet. Why? Because we are tired, it is late and we have a long day tomorrow. Today was a wonderful day, a hot day, lot of traffic and a long day. We had a chance to have Marse and Mark Hammond waiting for us at one of the entrance ...

The day started with the chase of seat. Thursday night when Todd (our Australian friend) tried to fit in the red dune buggy seat (it is racing Recaro seats), he didn’t see himself driving many hours behind the wheel with his hip protruding seat. We must say that our friend has an athletic body that ...

Joe, I think you should submit this picture for the calendar:

That's exactly right Bud, as you compress the spring, we need a way to hold the valve closed to install the keepers. Inserting about 12' of rope and turning the crank to compress the rope between the piston and valve allows for the valve to stay shut.

As many of you have read, Joe broke a valve spring on the Alaska Highway. It's difficult to describe that area but it's a really tough and serious environment. The Alaska Highway is paved but there are gravel sections. We knew this but I imagined a gravel section to be less than 1 mile at a time but...

CANA-LASKA DAY 19: July 3rd This morning we left North Bay around 6:30am…no cloud, only a wonderful blue sky. When we passed near a river or a large field, we could see the fog like in a movie….it was really beautiful. We stopped for lunch in Rigaud and arrived home around 12:45pm. We has been such ...
