We have Collin Sherrill from Ann Arbor, MI, & Tim Sherrill from the church in Fort Wayne, IN. Rounding out the brother are Chad Talo from Belleville, MI & Chris Stranad from Ypsilanti, MI.

Well, after 3 weeks on the road, we finally arrived home yesterday afternoon after an uneventful 5 hour drive up US15. Everyone was, of course, happy to be back. All told, it went well - no major mechanical issues, no major fights, nobody tried to kill anybody else, and no one was eaten by bears. Actually, we were all pretty pleased with how the trip went. As for me, I had enough time to do some laundry before having to repack. This morning I flew out to the Detroit area for work-related stuff. But at least I got to sleep in my own bed one night...... read more

We went to the historic district, Depot Town. We dropped anchor in a parking lot beside the Ypsilanti Automotive Heritage Museum. http://www.ypsiautoheritage.org The museum is in the world’s last Hudson Dealership. It is also the home of the Corvair Preservation Foundation (CPF) Museum. As we rolled to a stop, Jeff was opening his door to take a peek in the windows. One of the cars on display is the Super Monza. It is a former GM show car commissioned by Bill Mitchell, chief of design for GM; a one of a kind pre-production vehicle. The vehicle was in the Reynolds Aluminum family and was acquired by the ... read more

Hi Everyone, I just now realized this had not been published last night. Guess I need to pay closer attention. Anyway... here it is. We had two uneventful days of travel and are settled in our campground for our time in the Detroit area. Friday was an overcast day with some drizzle. But the drive was still pretty - especially the portion from just north of Knoxville, TN to Berea, KY. It is an absolutely beautiful drive through the mountains! Katie, a friend and business partner of Toni's niece Valerie, rode with us to Lexington, KY. We enjoyed having her with us! Friday covered 346 miles and the overnight stop was in Crittenden, KY. There I learned about a French game some British folks (who currently live in Detroit) were playing - Boule. Saturday started off ... read more
