slomove Posted April 30, 2011 Author Share Posted April 30, 2011 I updated the participant list a few posts up. Also, for the folks with route-capable Garmin navigators, the Mapsource database can be downloaded here. In the same zip file there is also a GPX version that can be opened in Google Earth (e.g. if you care previewing the route with the Google flight simulator).

squarefour Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 Got the suspension parts plated and put back together, put on HTR200s (front) in place of the "bald-but-just-getting-good" RA1s, and everything's waxed and/or polished. Just about ready! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slomove Posted May 24, 2011 Author Share Posted May 24, 2011 Excellent, car looks good! I am not yet finished with some smaller stuff. Need to strengthen the front wing brackets (or risk the other one will fall off, too). Balance wheels and repack exhaust. Oh well, a few weeks left (2 of that out of the country). But I would not mind going tomorrow.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestTexasS2K Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 I hope its not to late to join in the fun. I called the hotel in Custer and Deadwood and they have a room left. We have to sort out a place for our son to stay so we can go. So I am not 100 percent sure yet but it looks promising. We will be leaving the tour on the 18th if we can make it.

slomove Posted June 2, 2011 Author Share Posted June 2, 2011 (edited) Cool. The more the merrier and, since this is a self-organized tour you are welcome to join at any time. Looking forward to meeting you there! I would appreciate if you could PM your cell number and email. I want to distribute a list to the participants, just in case somebody needs help or similar.

squarefour Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 After no maintenance and no problems for years, after I decide to clean it up of course I’m having issues. First the alternator bearing went out, now this morning on the way to work I had a miss in the ignition and turned around to get it home. About halfway home the throttle stuck at 1/3 open and I had to turn the key on/off to regulate speed. FUN! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slomove Posted June 3, 2011 Author Share Posted June 3, 2011 Well, better now than in 5 weeks. At least you don't seem to have the ignition lock on the steering column :jester: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slomove Posted June 4, 2011 Author Share Posted June 4, 2011 (edited) I looked up where to find gas stations on the way so that we don't run out on the longer distances. There are two places with convenience/feed store gas pumps, I am not sure about. If they don't have gas the longest distance would be about 140 miles. Not sure if we have a 10 mpg Crossflow car among the tourers but I will carry spare 2 gallons just in case....

slomove Posted June 8, 2011 Author Share Posted June 8, 2011 (edited) For the folks who do the whole tour: We may already meet at the hotel but otherwise we have planned a tour start dinner Saturday 7/9 at 7pm at the Snake River Brewing Company. It is only 2 blocks or so from the hotel. For all others joining en route, please just call me when you arrive (numbers were e-mailed).

squarefour Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 I compiled Gert's directions into book form if anybody is interested. It's a 4.2 MB pdf scan that won't seem to attach, so I would have to email it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

squarefour Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 Let me know if I missed anybody. I wish I didn't have to scan it; the maps lost a little legibility. But I lost some software in the last computer "upgrade". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
