Every Father's Day, in Akron, OH, at Stan Hywet, there is an antique car
show. I used to go to this when I was a teenager (mid 80's) and while I
don't think I saw Roadster's being showed, I did see some parked nearby.
Lot's of cool old cars though, from the Dusenbergs and Mercedes and Rolls
Royces from the 20's and 30's up to tricked out current cars. And once
you're done looking at the cars, you can walk around the grounds.
This house was built by F.A. Seiberling, one of the founders of Goodyear,
and it's a 65 room tudor mansion with extensive gardens, including a
beautiful rose garden, a huge greenhouse, and a large oriental garden. You
can also take house tours and see the indoor pool and bowling alley. Usually
a great day!

Hello,
I know that this may be alittle premature but then again it may not be.
Next
year I will be driving my 67.5 2000 across country. Actually, my plan is to
drive the circumference of the U.S. with some of Canada thrown in for good
measure. I would like to be able to attend a large meet of somesort such as
Mid-Ohio or whatever the other roadster owners do annually. Or maybe if
that
isnt possible I will try to meet all of the ROCs as I make my trek from San
Francisco.
I plan to make this a three week trip. I dont have dates or a specific
itenerary as of yet. But what I would like to do is know where I can count
on a safe haven or an oil change stop or a car wash stop if it comes to
that.
;>)
If everybody remembers I made a Travelers website for Roadster Owners. I
guess I will be putting it to use but it still has only a couple dozen names
and it is an awful large country. If anyone else would like to be added
please let me know.
I know there are a few things that I really want to see. Niagara Falls...
Some of the New England States... Washington DC would be pretty cool too.
The Great Lakes... a ferry ride across the border...? Mt Rushmore... Tom
Phelan... any tips? I will be covering alot of land and I plan to se a few
of the Natl Parks but I dont plan on venturing too far off of the major
highways. I want to be withing Cellular One range. If anyone else has some
must see tips for me to consider please let me know.
I am sorry for being so premature on this planning but I have actually been
holding it in for a few months. I have just gotten the "go ahead" from Mary
a few weeks ago. More to follow...
