After we arrived at our
starting point off of I-435
and highway 45, we lined up
along the access road so as
to not clog the convenience
store parking lot. This was
a great time to catch up with
one another and take pic-
tures of our beautiful cars,
AND to allow passing mo-
torists to take pictures/vid-
eos while driving past. This
was not necessarily a safe
maneuver, but totally under-
standable. All the cars lined
up did make for an impres-
sive photo opportunity.
After a short briefing,
which included written di-
rections in the event some-
one got lost or left behind…
(no one did), we were told
by our host that we would go
no faster than a few mph over
the posted speed. As I was
the navigator, I had little
control over the speed, but I
can attest to the fact that we
reached err, umm, slightly
higher (and safe) speeds than
anticipated. This, of course,
left a HUGE smile on my
face.
We had been warned
that this was harvest season,
and to be prepared for large
farming equipment utilizing
A
special thank you to Bob and
Connie and Deluxe Trucks for
providing not only a great
drive, beautiful scenery, but ALSO
the meal we shared! - Editor
