1968 CST SWB anniversary gold

[mo]

Msgross: I was looking through CL and called the p.o. I guess it was just luck.

Let's see, we left from Sedona and decided to head home and head towards Phoenix Az and take the 10 into California.
Doing this was perhaps the worst decision of the whole trip. Crossing the Sonora desert in the middle of the day when it's 104 degrees in a vintage truck w/o air conditioning was not very smart.
Tony and I began to feel homesick and it's such a short distance that we felt a bit cavalier. Caroline was put through the test once again and performed flawlessly. The temp gauge barely lifted and pushed going 65-70 no problem.
Having a cup full of ice water and strategically placing it in between your lap was an absolute must! It was hotter than Africa, as the saying goes.
Our intent was to camp out at Joshua tree but the plan changed and we pushed through all the way to the central coast. We arrived home smelling like vinager and musk and the wife told me to sleep on the couch. It was 2 am and I had no energy left to even take a shower.
This morning, the wife went to work leaving a fresh pot of coffee brewed for tony and I and we got to chatting about the trip.
It came down to a simple word... Amazing! So many stories, people, places and it all started because of this truck and the hard time I was getting having it shipped here!
I will upload pictures tonite and do a timeline of the trip. Throw in question and comments as we go. I think it will be a good read and hopefully you'll find the pictures and stories inspirational.
Thanks for sitting in the middle seat through this small journey.
Mo, Tony and Caroline.

More to come later
