Tour cars waiting for the
MV Mt. Washington |
The 71st Glidden tour ended tonight. We don't have time to give you a day by day description of the event. We will say now that all the Glidden tourists were treated to day after day of the best of what these mountains of New England have to offer. We enjoyed a long voyage the length of Lake Winnipessaukee on the historic M/S Mount Washington; took a scenic train ride deep into the White Mountains; enjoyed mile after mile of well maintained highways dodging and turning through mountains and valleys with hundreds of pre-war cars; enjoyed trained bears at Clark's Trading Post; ate a lobster roll and watched harness racing at a lively county fair; and, as always, enjoyed kicking tires and stories around in all the parking lots we hung out in between events.

Now we have finally turned a corner, a big deal for us.
From this point forward, each mile we drive is one less we will need to be towed, should the worst happen. But as of today, our prospects looked good. The LaSalle performed admirably during the tour, our system of removing the battery for recharge in the hotel worked fine. We plan a southern route home, visiting my brother near Hartford, Connecticut, some of our friends in Arlington, VA, and Nance's sister in Knoxville TN.
