I was wonder if any has the route that the Ocean to Ocean tour will be following?
Thanks Fitz

It is basically New York to Erie to Detroit to St Louis to Seattle.

Maybe this will work ?

If Katy is not doing a video will anyone in this group be sharing their travels with us?

Sure would love to do that trip. Maybe next time they organize one. My priorities have changed a bit!

Tim,

Just think how many times your hat can blow off in 4000 miles?

Tim

How about a Yellowstone Trail tour? Plymouth Rock to Seattle. Still goes through Ohio.

Bob... You got that right!! I'd never get there!! Ha ha. Sure had fun last week just the same. Stupid hat!

Dave...that would work too! One of these times...just hope they still have them down the road. Gotta save lotsa $$ for
either one!

Doesn't cost that much as long as the car keeps running. Just ask Dean.

Susan. Iam not having any luck finding anything on facebook.

Here is a screenshot of their logo, no city names but you can see the states.

I am posting photos and notes of what Milt sends to me every day.

Below is a snapshot of all the city stops, taken from the Ocean to Ocean tour page. http://oceantoocean.ning.com/

Let me know if you want more info and I'll see what I can get from Milt at the end of the day!

July 8th is probably Ontario, Oregon, not Oklahoma. They will actually be fairly close to me, about 300 miles south in Pocatello, Idaho. Might have to go see them. I have a couple concerts on the 5th and 6th, tho. Hmmmmm

Dave, the Yellowstone Trail goes right through my ranch at Westmore, Montana. Somewhere I have a photo of the marker.

I got a notification they will be at Piquette on Saturday.

Thank you Susan.

Good luck to all the participants! We did it in 2009 and it was the ride of a life time! Anybody Driving through Michigan that needs pars, tools, pieces or ...... post here on the forum we have a large amount of parts on hand and are near your route in Southern Michigan.

Just in from Milt Roorda from Streetsboro (Cleveland) Ohio.

Took ‘em Four Days to get out of New York ??...
Shoot; takes me four days to get out of Texas driving the speed limit in my Ferrari...

They took the long route! They drop south to St. Louis. They could have gone straight across! The shortest Ocean to Ocean tour in the United States, would be Galveston to San Diego! They could make it even shorter if they made the crossing in Panama!

My understanding is that they are approximating the original 1909 routes, distances, and locations. Which makes it a long but easy drive for a T today. According to the calendar, they are taking nearly four weeks to cross the country, and will be in Idaho for three days.
Sure wish I was going on that run!

So they’re retracing the original route, huh? What a marvelous re-enactment! There was virtually no roads other than wagon tracks and cow paths back then. I’d dearly love to drive a T for 4 days in Idaho...

Milt & Rosemary Roorda arrived in Dearborn, MI this afternoon after 6 hours driving in the rain!

Anyone within driving distance of Detroit might want to catch up with the group on Friday or Saturday. Their itinerary is shown below.

Where can we meet up with them Sunday when they will be in Mishawaka Indiana and about what time? My wife has a birthday that day and we might be able to drive up to see the group if we know how to find them.

Still hoping someone on the tour will post some photos on here. Virtually nothing on facebook. Heres hoping you get lots of sunshine. Sending sun and heat east from Nebraska.

... They drop south to St. Louis....

That's what the map appears to show, but the itinerary shows them entering Missouri at Hannibal and going west from there. That's 117 miles north of St. Louis, so I'm not likely to see them coming through.

BOB McDANIEL -- hi!
They are arriving at their overnight stops by about 4pm. Sunday's drive is Detroit to Mishawaka, Indiana. They will be staying at:
Holiday Inn & Conference Center
1208 E Douglas Road, Mishawaka
It would be great if you could meet them there.

DAVID H --
We have been posting Milt Roorda's photos every day since Sunday on our Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/pg/modeltfordc ... e_internal

Thank you Susan for the address. I don't know if we will make it but if we do I will take the camera and post pictures HERE because Facebook is next to impossible to find anything on and toss in old people (myself include here ) and the pictures might as well be posted on the great wall of China. I am on Facebook sometimes but what a pain in the, well you know so I understand.
