My new 1969 C20 made it cross country.

Portland, OR to Lusby, MD with only a minor problem. The alternator mounting bracket snapped and the water pump wasn't getting turned fast enough due to lack of belt contact so I had to limp home the last 200 miles. I left Saturday morning at 3 AM from Portland. I was driving along and saw all these old Chevy and other old trucks parked with people all over the place. I figured it must be a show and then I passed the sign. I was passing through Ontario. I thought when everyone was talking about Ontario they meant California. Unfortunately, the schedule didn't allow for a U-turn and any sightseeing. To bad because I would have liked to meet some of you guys.
My path was 84 East to 80 East, 25 South to 70 East. Saturday I went until I made Denver at about 2 AM and spent the night at my cousins house. Left her house at 6PM Sunday night and only made it to Mid Kansas before stopping. Monday I made it to just West of Columbus, OH. I know Longhornmail that is close to you but I was only stopping at the rest areas and sleeping for 3 or 4 hours before I hit the road again. Tuesday I made it home at about 2:00 PM after the alternator bracket headache kept me busy for 4+ hours. I know I passed several boardmembers houses. Especially when I was on 70. You can just tell by the driveway/yard. Unfortunately, it rained on Sunday and Monday. It's just not the same when it's all wet out. When it gets nice enough outside I'll post pictures. The trip was well worth it.
