The little white 65 Super, Bianca, is taking us on a road trip! Wanna join in? Any Alfa roadtrip with me always brings the obligatory blog. We'll be 12 days total out for the drive to Lex, 4 days of Alfa touring (the Convention official pre-tour), 4 days of convention and a couple back. Will try to keep my Homies back home (and elsewhere) up to date here when possible.
The 2 1/2 day drive out was awesome. Went through Dallas at 104 without A/C and facing the sun. Kristy was thrilled but sitting in the back shady side was like having A/C on!! Made it to just before Little Rock, Bryant, and it dropped to 102 there. Even leaving at 4:20 AM we made it in at about 2 PM. Thoroughly baked. No noteworthy commentary or pics as we just did the interstates to get the heck out of the awesome Texas record heat wave ASAP.
Second day brought us just past Nashville and we were welcomed with a nice cooling thunderstorm. Today was a very short drive but we did a detour through Lincoln's birth cabin and childhood home and drove on some small roads that were gorgeous. We got stuck for awhile behind an old 2 CV trotting along the byways, literally. Last shots are at the Campbell House in Lexington for a night, and a famous local diner. We leave tomorrow AM on the pre-tour. When I came in, there was a Duetto and Hooligan form Oregon unloading from trailers. There are some 22 Alfas in the pre-tour. Back out shortly to register now. Gonna be great!! See you later.
