Default Thanks to all!

Thank you again for the warm welcome and for all of the kindness extended to me by the Bay Area group this week! I have felt welcomed and at home with all of you every time I've been out there, and no kindness has gone unnoticed.

A special thanks to Davepk! Dave, you are a treasure, and you have been a wonderful friend to me. I appreciate everything you've done for me, and if you ever need anything, I hope you won't hesitate to ask me!

To update, currently, we're snowed in in Grand Junction, Colorado. This car is every bit as bad on snow as has been reported on this site before and WORSE! We nearly scared ourselves to death tryingto get back to a decent sized town with a hotel that looked acceptable! We also found out that a car with no bars of gas left and a gas light on CAN make it 40 miles to the next gas station provided that you have big hills to drift down in neutral and big rigs to draft! We will move on to Denver as soon as the roads are clear tomorrow to visit with my dad, then on to Chicago. We spent last night with a fellow S2000 owner in Las Vegas, Clayster (hasn't posted in a very long time), who was gracious enough to open his home to Clark and I for a night's sleep and a great dinner at the In and Out Burger! As always, it's cool to meet another S2000 owner

I think we're going to try to sleep now, so more later!

Thanks again!

In Denver, finally! All safe, but the car has about a year's worth of dirt on it! Pics to follow soon!

Snowed in in Lincoln, Nebraska now! All safe with something like 12 bullseyes and two run of the mill cracks in the windshield from a snowplow throwing dime sized gravel into the air rather than directly onto the road. The car REALLY sucks in the snow, but Clark's expertise and skill kept us on the road and moving for at least 3 hours through the white stuff (and lots of ice on the road).

We'll get there eventually!

Are you heading back to Texas?

You definitely took the long way home back to Texas from Monterey. Hope you get back safely.

Reminds me of two other Texans who took the long but scenic route back to Austin.
