Both buses took turns having breakdowns on the way to Colorado. Lu's bus kept
spewing oil all over the engine area or think that was the problem. We spent
some time with Jeremy at Motorworks Restorations when we got to Colorado
Springs and he fix the problem. No breakdown problems with either bus on the
way home.
I'm sure Sharon can tell you a lot more than I can about the problems. One
time I was riding with Sharon and their bus kept slowing down even though she
had the gas pedal all the way to the floor. I do know that on one of the
stops, Steve became "McGyver" when he made a timing light out of a wire and
a small bulb. We were all impressed with that one.
On the return trip, we drove for 12 hours and started off with cold, clear
skies and then dark, cool skies with large hail and heavy rains (and rainbows)
to warm, clear skies. Think we finally stopped in Childress for the night.

We (the list) haven't had a run down on the break downs. Who broke down and
what were the problems?
