ON THE ROAD AGAIN


In the words of my idol Willie Nelson 'On the Road Again'. That's right, even though Willie cut off his tail, he is still my idol! Our first stop is in Lake George NY for the Adirondack Nationals Car Show. It is quite a site! About 2,000 car nuts reliving their younger days cruising the streets with open pipes and doing smoke shows for the local enforcement officers. Life is good!

Nancy and I took a ride to Fort Ticonderoga on Friday. There was a registration desk at the entrance to the Fort. Why a registration desk? Because they have 800 people registered for a encampment scheduled for the weekend. And we think car nuts are strange! We checked out the accommodations, but decided to return to the TIKI at Lake George.

We stumbled across this Model A, during the ride back to Lake George.  A 1930 5 Window coupe, 'All Original' for $14,000 Firm.  This trip will be interesting and may get more expensive than expected!
 
Saturday began at 6:00am to the sound of a few revving engines in the parking lot. The line of cars outside the hotel, waiting, was over a mile long by 7am when the gates opened. And these cars were all pre-registered last February. After standing in front of the hotel watching cars slowly roll down the hill, we decided we needed to eat. Breakfast at Poopie's in Glen Falls NY is not to be missed! 

Time for an adult beverage.
