This 23 day holiday,our first for 7 years, took us from Los Angeles to Ventura, Salinas and up the Pacific Coast Highway to San Francisco, over the Sierra Navada to Truckee, Reno and Carson City. Through Death Valley, Bishop, Lone Pine and Pahrump. From Las Vegas to St George, Kanab and Page, on to the Grand Canyon. Joining part of Route 66 through Flagstaff, Kingman and Baker, ending back at Los Angeles for the Anahiem Truck Show. Disney Land and Universal Studios because every one would ask if we had been!

This trip started in Chicago, travelling to the Truck Show, Louisville. Down country to Nashville, then for a stay with a friend in St Louis. Back north to Chicago through Amish country, stopping off at many other places in between!

The main reason for this trip was the Western Minnesota Threshers Reunion, Rolag, where the " 50-plow Hitch", of 1911, was to be duplicated.
