What an interesting trip! Can't say I would be too fond of traveling in a Vette either- no way to stretch out. Classy way to herd cattle though! Congratulations on your engagement as well!Hi everyone. A little update.
I've been traveling the last 2 weeks with my fiance' Betty and we've been to Idaho, Oregon and Nevada, plus a few more states on the trip back to her house in NE. We rode in her Vette all the way and I'll be honest. I wouldn't have one. My hip was sore most of the way, the tires (no blow, wide stance)which kept the car "diving" into groves on the Interstates and I had to lower myself to the ground to get in. Bad for these old injured knees. Before we left of the trip Betty and I entered a 24 hour walking benefit for a homeless shelter in her home town. She walked 30.5 miles in an 18 hour period and I walked 10.3. I was more interested in eating and socializing with the other participants.
We got off the beaten path on our trip just to see the back roads in OR going into NV on HWY 140. It was beautiful until we got into some mountainous area and they had a cattle drive going on. The only path to drive the cattle was on the highway and there were thousands of them. The highway was just carved into the side of the mountains. First cattle drive I've been on where I used the Vette to herd them. We had to push through miles of cows and muck on the road. We couldn't go through the cattle too fast or we would stampede them.
We then came down to my cabin in MO for a few days and then Betty left today for NE. After I go to my twin gkids bday party I will follow her up to her home. We will then start planning our lives together and when we are going to get "hitched".
At first we were going to live in OR on the coast but then she saw my gkids and decided she couldn't take me away from them so we will look for a place here in MO and then a small place in OR so we can go back and forth for season changes. Guess I'll be selling my log cabin in the woods. She likes it but it's too far from "civilization"
