Re: [Chrysler300] Cruising west to White Sands

Day 3. Woke up early and turned on The Weather Channel this morning. Forecast was brutal - flood warning with heavy rains; confirmed with hotel manager's husband passing along USAF forecast from nearby Holliman Air Force Base. John Begian and I, still in Amarillo, were tossing about alternatives, like heading north to Colorado for some cruising to drier roadways.

To pass some time, we went to see the nearby Cadillac Ranch - 10 Cadillacs half buried nose-first. Our F and G drew as much interest and admiration as those Caddys.

After a few more calls with Michael Burke, Meet Host Bill Allen, and the hotel folks again, John and I decided to forge ahead towards Alamagordo. We did - a few downpours - no major flooding - the F and the G ran strong - we arrived fine - and are enjoying visiting with all our Club friends.

Day 2 - great cruising - cool, foggy, drizzly morning in OK. Sun finally appeared this afternoon; warmed up to 90; John's top came down. Amarillo to Alamagordo in the morning.

Had an eventful day today. Made it to Effingham as my generator died. Stopped by Spanky's, pulled it and took it his local rebuilder, reinstalled it and back on the road. While waiting for the rebuild, Spanky took us to a local Mopar muscle restorer buddy of his - great cache of mid- to late-60s iron. In mid-Missouri tonight with John Begian. Also met up with Michael and Linda Burke this morning. Targeting Amarillo tomorrow.

Hello group,

On Monday morning, John Begian, in his G, and I will be meeting in Effingham, IL, and heading west in our 300s toward White Sands. Anyone else cruising westbound in their 300s to the Meet?
