We made it in 44 hours; 1531 miles from Norco, CA, to Richmond, KS. Not bad, I’d say, given that Mapquest describes it as a 25-hour drive. The hardest part was getting started. It took 3 days to get the car roadworthy. I’d already had the tire pressure checked, the oil changed and had even had the car washed before heading down to San Diego for Tyler’s graduation from MCRD. I picked up two nails in the process and had those taken care of as well. Then, Saturday afternoon the check engine light came on and the car started stalling. According to Pep Boys it was the cam shaft sensor but there would be no fixing it before Monday. As it turned out there was no fix until about 5pm Wednesday and until then it was touch and go whether we would be going at all!
But by 7pm we were on the road….at long last headed back to “D” Farm.
