Message:   I left a few days ago from Los Angeles. Ultimate destination? Buffalo NY. I'm dropping off the truck to the new pappy. I was going to ship it but it turned out to be a never ending hassle. No thanks. I decided to drive it and see one more time this amazing country we live in. I have to go to a wedding in the Hamptons anyway. Plus, my older brother wants to hang with me in Nantucket. I'll fly back.

First stop (after leaving L.A.) was Las Vegas!!!
Hey people actually loved the truck and employees and guests seemed to be talking about it while I left in in the VIP area of the valet at MGM Grand.

In one of my rare moments, I won some "walking around money" at the tables which paid for the gas, room and meals to date.

Next up the I-15 further through Nevada, a bit of Arizona and Utah where I took the I-70. While driving through Utah it was dark. I was for the most part, the only one on the road. At that time I had a bonding moment with the old 68. She just purred along and lit the way. The radio was churning out nice songs from days past... Journey and Brian Adams. Then "Time To Pretend" by MGMT. Some songs remind you of a time and bring back memories when you hear them. Well, I knew that MGMT song will forever be linked to this cross country trip and that old Power Wagon. I felt the moment being made. I will no doubt hear that song years to come and remember the awesome Power Wagon and the cross country trip I took with it.

That truck has soul. I'm having a blast driving it. I've made some cool friends so far and a pretty girl who plays the bag pipes. Tomorrow I hope to make it past Denver.
