John_H in Panama City, Florida (pix)

Journey almost over. Stopped for breakfast this morning at iHop. Good to meet face2face.

For some reason (camera operator incompetence?) the second photo turned out entirely too light! I've done my best to tone it down, but that's the reason the color ain't so good.

Thanks for the pics NCC1701

John,

Glad to see your journey going well. Looks like a LOT of bugs on the front of that Merlot

Safe trip

Suze - he stopped by at my "Shed & Breakfast" first. Dead serious. He slept out in the shed in the backyard. John coined the term Shed & Breakfast so I can't steal it, also he followed on to have breakfast with NCC. I would of drove down there NCC but I had a full day in store. Truth be told, he DID sleep out in the shed in the back yard. Now that is a person not too proud to stoop down to my trashy level.

John is the ONLY person to ever see that I really do live in a ratty old trailer out in the boondocks, I wasn't joking when I said I'm "Trailer Trash". Unfortunately I hadn't checked the shed's hot water heater in a few weeks and it had a stale smell which was quite embarrassing. As a matter of fact, his car was perfectly clean before he drove down my road to my house. I'm sure he told you all about it NCC.

A pic of his car with my cars. Suze, this is the last picture I'll have of those teal body panels. I have the new paint ordered, you'll like the color.

Orlando's not so dark-side. Looking forward to the possibilities, especially as I arrive when the weather's turning "nice" again.

Thanks for the pictures, guys! Those bugs are embarrassing but a testament to my many, many days on the road. My driving included Oregon, California, Nevada, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, Texas, Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, and Florida.

I saw a total of 4 smarts in the wild (one towed) and 7 smarts owned by SCOA folks I visited (or relatives or associated neighbors).

Thanks to those who were "with me" in my journey or wondering about me along the way. I'm safely in Orlando - lets see if it'll stick!
