It has been several days since I have posted.  Not much happened after we left Logan, NM.  We crossed the panhandle of Texas with no problem.  I had hoped to get to see a college roommate from Midland, TX but the distance was just too great for us to connect.  Sorry that didn't happen, Margret, but we will get together another time!  

Joe and I arrived in Oklahoma City for the AACA (Antique Auto Club of America) tour on Thursday.  We were one of the first to arrive as the tour doesn't officially start until tomorrow (Monday).  Joe spent Friday investigating an oil leak on the car while I did 4 hours worth of laundry.  The hotel only had one small washer and one dryer.  I don't understand how just 2 people can produce so much laundry, especially when we only have 3 or 4 sets of clothes with us.  Everything was just dirty at one time.  We are used to going to a laundromat and using several machines and dryers at the same time.

This moning before it got hot, Joe and I washed the car in preparation for this week of touring.  Our car was really looking pretty grubby after about a month of dirt roads and just everyday travel dust and dirt.  Our light gray wheels were almost black. Everyone else's car has been brought all shined and we looked like something the cat had drug in.  Today was an optional tour day which included the Science Museum, an Infantry Museum and a lot of driving in town.  After driving long distances on the open road with beautiful scenery everywhere you look, driving in town past shopping malls and through residential areas just doesn't compare.  I think we are spoiled!

The great thing about the Glidden tour is that you get to see people you haven't seen all year and get to see some great cars - all pre WWII.  Generally about half the cars are Ford Model A's and the bulk of the rest are from the 1930's and early 1940's.  There are several early cars on this year's Glidden.  The variety is exciting to see - everything from an early Pierce-Arrow to some spectacular classic convertibles and trucks.
