We made it at last at about 9:30pm last night.
My son Peter and I started out last Friday, averaging a little more than 500 miles per day.
The Frogeye Midget ran great, while driving safe and sane around 60 mph it got great mileage.
From 37 mpg to 40 mpg.
When driving a 'bit' more spirited it dropped below 30 mpg.
Like one time yesterday when we had to pull off for a "Dad we have to stop - NOW" break.
I pulled off onto an exit that had no onramp back onto the freeway.
The emergency dealt with then the question was - how to get back on the road?
Peter suggested "you can back up".
So we did and then had to drive a bit more spirited than usual to catch up to the other cars.
We were traveling with BillM, Kurt & Nancy A. and MikeB.
I'm not saying how fast we went, but it wasn't faster than I felt safe per the road conditions.
After checking in to the Victorian Village we went over to the Lake Street Cafe and had dinner, I had a local brew and Peter had Root Beer on tap from the same brewery. We met PeterC and Dave Lieb and several others there, and sitting at a long table right up front talking LBC smack with the guys was the perfect end to the day. It was GREAT!
