Traveling the farthest

Was there an award for the person that traveled the farthest? Would that be Paul or Chrisw?

I got the award for traveling the farthest. I think that's because my trip from L.A. to Chicago involved dipping south to visit Terry and Bobby in Franklin, TN and then to Cleveland, where I visited Jim Bob as well as two of my cousins. I put on over 3000 miles getting to Chicago.

I'm got a whole story to tell about this adventure. Sorry I haven't posted more about it so far, but juggling being on the Legend Lives Tour with my car show committee responsibilities (bringing the "Alcatraz" people to the show) kept me real busy.

Chris aka SoCalBlue, Chris aka ChrisW,Jim aka Jim020 and anyone else I told I would be at the hotel after the show:A BIG APOLOGY ........I'll see your El Camino Chris someday in person......

No worries Frank. I don't think I could afford to drive the El Camino up your way but maybe I can find a car show midway or something. Congrats once again on your award.

To Frank, Treva, Rocky, the Michaels, the Mikes, Charles, Greg, Chris, and everyone else that I met at this year's event(sorry can't remember everyone's names), it was great seeing you all again and meeting some of you for the first time. I have a huge amount of respect for all the Legend Lives crew. You guys/gals are truly dedicated!
The turnout this year was amazing and I'm still blown away that we had 5 True Blues in attendance!
Can't wait for San Fran next year! I missed it in 06 and vowed not to let that happen again!

Safe travels

Super glad you made it to Albequerque safely, AND that the trailer has a spare tire again.

Keep us informed of your progress back to Canada...inquiring minds wanna know that you make it home safely.

Including your special cargo...:wink:

Including your special cargo...:wink:

Special cargo is doing fine all tucked away.

And, we made it to Missouri. Unfortunately when I got to Discount Tire at 8:05 there was already a tandem axle trailer getting all of it's tires done so it was 10:30 by the time we hit the road.

Otherwise all is good and with a 900 mile day we'll be home tomorrow.....assuming Canada Customs doesn't try to violate me......again

To think I broke 3K miles the entire trip.......

 

[BULLITT3230]

phew!
We made it home late last night.
Stayed with family in Claremont and left on Tuesday afternoon.
Spent that evening with one of my bro's on his place on the Colorado river in Blythe CA, then went up and over the western version of the Dragon on 89 into Prescott AZ, then ran thru the canyons of Sedona.
By Thursday morning we were back on I-40 and jamming it, with a few more Route 66 stops along the way.

What a GREAT road trip!!!
So many memories...and as always, so much better doing it with the Bullitt family!

 

[Droopy]

Special thanks to Michael, Rocky, Bret and all the other So Cal Bullittheads that worked with The FoSM car show to make it an outstanding Bullitt event! it was awesome!

 

[SteveNYC]

One of David's special contributions...

To think I broke 3K miles the entire trip.......

David... maybe you didn't travel the farthest, but I'll never forget the care and attention you took to keeping the celebration cake cool for the run from Holbrook to Seligman! Putting it on the passenger side floor (with A/C on) and covering it with your window sun shield worked perfectly... as the results showed...

Rabbit pics you haven't seen...

Hey Paul,

Here are some pics I don't think you've seen. Thanks again for taking such good care of that precious cargo! :clap:

PS That rabbit looked real familiar to me. I think I climbed on one of its relatives in Central Park when I was a kid! :wink:

[BULLITT3230]

official trip log for 3230 was just a mere 5,255 miles of non stop laughs and grins!

Makes this the third coast to coast trip for 3230....and she loved being able to run the open road again....been a long time since she stretched her legs like that.

I also believe she finally loosened up her bearings and seated those chromium rings getting run in on this trip and doing the final break in on the motor....
where she had been getting only 17-18 mpg tops, even toting ten thousand pounds of cargo our mileage continually improved over the span of the trip, where on the way home she was pulling in a consistant 20-21 regardless of tail/side/head winds or speed.

Thanks Steve!
You are very welcome....it was a joy and an honor for us!!!
But I accept not personally, but on behalf of all of us at HoonDog.
It was a massive collective effort, both before and during the show, with a long year in the planning and many midnight hours on details...
(the same should be said about those who organized the Friends of Steve McQueen Show)

While we see lots of areas where we can improve, that doesn't detract from the success of the event...and only means future events get better, as they always did in the past when planning the Nationals/100th/40th/Shootout etc.

We are already at work on 2013 and 2014 the minute we got home...
HoonDog is committed to providing great, memorable, quality Bullitt events....and as always...all for the kids of Boys Republic!!!

We in turn are simply grateful for everyone's participation and support, and that it was a great event full of fun and safe travels (other than Paul and his trailer tire)

Chris Burns, Director of Boys Republic, wanted me to extend his thanks and appreciation to the Bullitt community for supporting the kids. This event was simply the beginning of something great! Lets look to the future, start planning for 2013 and beyond, and keep doing it for the kids!!!

I'm with you on it being a team effort, Kurt. :clap:

You and the 01 Bullittheads laid the foundation for the Bullitthead community we have today... and Hoondog laid the foundation for taking what that community can do to the next level! :clap:

Here's to a future of even bigger and better things.... so all Bullittheads can help the Boys Republic continue doing its great work.. and so that all the kids that work touches can have better lives!
