A friend posted a link on Facebook about this convoy. (He posted it more in a veteran context than a vehicle one, I think, but it's of interest to all of us.)

If you have access to Facebook, you can read about it here:

Otherwise, you can get the schedule with the lunch stops and overnight stays in this press release:

Looks like they're going to have a lot of fun.

Just got back from seeing the MVPA convoy arrive at the Six Flags amusement park where they are parking for the night. What a great group of people, and what an adventure! (I guess it's not too surprising that I feel an affinity for people driving historic vehicles across the country at 35 mph. They seem to be having as much fun as we have on our tours.)

Here are some pictures I took:









Not only are they having a good time, but they are doing it to honor our Veterans. It doesn't get much better than that.

If you are anywhere along Old Route 66 west of St. Louis, you can check this link to see when they will be coming through your area. It's really worth your while to visit with them at a meal or overnight stop, or just to wave as they drive by.

Wonderful things Dick!
Even if one doesn't do facebook, we can see what they have going on. Perhaps I can as I have an unused facebook account.
I dunno.
That'd be fun to watch the procession. :-)
