Donner Party update

[Renneisen, Eric E 475]

She ran great all the way to Salt Lake City, where I 
had to call it quits at 2:30 am. Thanks to everyone for 
the support and suggestions. For everyone who were 
justifiably concerned about me sleeping in an idling 
car, I wasn't really considering it. The exhaust on 
this thing is well perforated and would make it coffin 
for anyone sleeping in it while running.

The moon was mostly full last night, which made the 
4K DOT headlights not too bad to endure (although I 
still ran high beams all the way--no complaints from 
other drivers). A pair of brand new H1/H4 euros are 
nestled in the trunk waiting to be mounted when I get 
home. The moonlit mountainous landscape was ghostly. 
I'm disappointed that I didn't get to stop at the 
Bonneville salt flats, but a top speed run wouldn't be 
prudent right now anyway.

I stopped in a small town in N Nevada for a quick bite. 
As I sat munching my burrito (much better than human 
flesh), a group of teenagers left the building. One 
young gent immediately yelled, "That's the car I want! 
All right!" As he hopped about flailing his arms, his 
friends acted too cool for his nonsense and kept 
walking. He looked back at me and we exchanged a 
knowing glance and the hi-sign. There's hope for some 
of these kids, yet!

The car reluctantly fired this morning on the first 
try. After a shower, I'm on the road for CO. For the 
folks interested in getting together, I'll be headed 
for Ed Kellock's place in CO Springs (I can't turn 
down a free bed).

Stay tuned folks, and thanks again for all the support.
