White's T Trip

---

July 19, 2013. 8 PM MDT

Today was a catch-up day. Did laundry, cleaned car, which was very dirty after being in a rain storm. Those wire-spoked wheels are not fun to clean. We went to the Host motel and registered for next week's tour which will run Monday through Friday. While Jacque was polishing the brass on the T, two men stopped by to talk. The one man from Tennessee said he had passed us on the open range yesterday during the rain storm. We had pulled to the side to put the curtains on the car and he blew the horn as he passed with his car in a trailer. He was worried about us making it to Kanab and looked on several of the motel parking lots hoping to see our car. The rod through the top of the hood keeps sliding back against the wooden dash, went to local true value hardware store and bought picture frame felts to stick on dash behind hood former, hoping this will hold and solve the problem. The day was relaxing.

Kanab, Ut
Kanab is surrounded by red mountains called vermillion cliffs which makes a beautiful scene against the blue skies.

Enjoying reading about your adventures!
Hello Jacque and Mae, Thanks for posting your daily accounts of your journey and the great photos. Very exciting reading about your adventures and the nice people you met along the way. Hope you enjoy the tour next week and say hello to Warwick Landry for me if you have a chance to chat with him. Hope the car has been running to your expectations. Regards, Mike

Car
Mike, The car has performed exceptionally well so far. The E-Timer has done excellent , engine is running strong. Had it on the dyno today. We are at 5,000 ft plus, the guys doing the dyno said results are 25% lower because of altitude. I was the first one to dyno and had 14.01 up at rear wheels + 25% = 17.51, they said that was good. I will see Warwick Landry and say hi to him for you. Jacque

I met you when I pulled up to the gas pumps at Kroger in Harrisburg Illinois. After getting my gas I grabbed a few shots of you with the car. Since then I found your blog online and have been following you along the way. Good luck and God Bless on your journey.
