We traveled 300 miles across US Hwy 60 to Springfield, MO where I dropped my car off at the house and climbed into the KermitKar with Shirley. She drove I-44 to Joplin, Mo and US Hwy 71 to Nevada, MO. After a short gas stop and snack break at Nevada we headed back down 71 and I-44 back to Springfield. When we reached home, she had driven a total of 515 miles in a little under 11 hours.

David & Dustin EggebraatenMy grandson, Dustin Eggebraaten and I left Canyon Lake, TX and drove to
Mountain Home, AR Nationals in 2005. The records were turned in at the Nationals and we received our patch awards and recognition at the dinner on Saturday evening. We completed the trip in about 13 hours as I recall. The distance was over 700 miles I think. The picture was taken at the Nats after the documented trip.
