My guess it Barney when he made the run to the sun a few years ago,
as I think he topped 20K on that one.
I've made two fair runs in the A, along with Marvin Marshall and
Steve Espelund in their '65 and '66 Bs. In '99 we went from Lincoln,
NE to the Oregonn coast and back, covering about 5500 miles. In '01
we went from Lincoln, Ne through Michigan, into the Northlands of
Canada and then back down across the border at Niagra Falls and home.
We were planning another trip, maybe to the Keys, this summer but the
economy got in the way. Maybe next year.
