"Edsel" the Bear joins the Team


Well, Nan decided that we need a companion on the trip, so "Edsel" the Bear will be riding with us and enjoying our trip to Alaska. As you can see Edsel is also a Red Sox fan. I don't think that Edsel will be able to share in the driving, but you never know. So be sure to look for Edsel's picture as we visit the sites of interest along the way.

Getting ready for the Trip




It won't be long before we (Doug & Nan) and our friends (Dick & Barbara) will be starting our Model "A" adventure to Vancouver, BC and subsequent cruise to Alaska. Dick and I have been doing our preventative maintenance on our Model A's and so far all the large mechanical items have been checked and repaired if necessary. Now it's just taking care of the little items. Our 1931 (early) 155C Town Sedan has been on long tours before, traveling as far west as Nebraska when we attended the 2000 MAFCA meet in Kansas City and numerous other Minuteman Model A Club Super Tours. Now we have a chance to double that distance by attending the MAFCA meet in Vancouver. We are really looking forwad to visiting areas of the country that we have not visited, especially in our Model A's.
