We just finished our video of a day trip with the T. We went to the little town of Shirly Arkansas. about 30 miles from us. highlights include back country driving to see the Chimney Rocks formations. They were a popular scenic attraction from the early 1900s till in the 50s 60s era. Today they are not well known and hard to find if you do not know where they are. The old county road has not been maintained in many, many years. It is little more than a 4x4 or 4-wheeler road in lots of places. The videos never seem to show how rough or steep some of the places are. We also got to drive more of the Old Missouri and North Arkansas railroad right of way and cross the last remaining bridge of the old railroad that is still in use. The bridge was built in 1908 for the trains, but today is used as a car bridge by the county road department. It is just barely useable and would not pass any real codes or regulations. But about 15 families use it every day because it is the only way into their little part of the world. We are relatively new to the video thing, so we are still learning. We are not monetized with YouTube and do not make anything from our videos. We just do it for the fun of having something to do with our T.

Here is the link to our YouTube page. We have 10 videos The new video is: Exploring with the Model T at Chimney Rocks

Thanks for sharing! Great job, Well done!

Thanks, We are still learning ....

50 yrs. ago when I built my first T, we would load it on a trailer and go up into the Sierra Nevada mountains until we came to the logging roads, unload the car and head out till those roads ran out and go from there. It was a total blast. Your video reminds me of those days. Looks like a great drive and thanks for taking us along. Waiting for the next adventure.

Tom. We have more fun with the T the more primative the road is. We may not get to do another video till springtime but we are already planning the next trip. Thanks for watching .....
