[Healeys] On Route 66 to Conclave, Day 4

[tomfelts at windstream.net]

Hey---it's not "on the road to Conclave" (wish it was), but I'm taking my BJ8 on a jaunt to SE Virginia in the morning, (from Pittsburgh)--little over 400 miles:):) (OK--Conclaver's stop laughing!!) 

Really looking forward to hitting the road with her.

> Day 4 - Left Erick, OK a little earlier to try to beat a little afternoon
> heat, no luck stopped for gas at a little Conoco station in Alleanreed, TX.
> They had a GIFT SHOP, the ladies best friend. After a stop at the Cadilac
> Ranch in Ammarillo, TX we pressed on. The Bugeye is running rough, hot and an
> occassional loss of power. Not using oil but the engine is making noises we
> don't like. A possible oil change coming soon. A strom, rain & hail hit while
> we were stopped for a beverage so no time was lost and the tops continue in
> their stowed position. We did a unpaved section of the origianl route this AM,
> 14 miles of gravel, fun but not needed, smoother faster than slower.
> Temperature in Tucammari was 100 when we went through.
> We stopped for the
> night in Las Vegas, NM ( an old RT66 alignment) 354 miles today.
