Tour update......

From Norman Oklahoma to San Diego California




The van overheated in Mississippi and had been slowly loosing coolant in the form of face vapor from the vents, but on the morning in Dallas we woke up to find a huge puddle of coolant below the van. We took the van to the local GMC dealership who identified the rusted Heater coil as the problesm and prescribed a 1200$ repair. The part was not available that day anyways, so we filled a jug of water and made our way to Norman OK.

The promoter suggested we try Terry's Auto, who could be trusted for an honest repair. We followed the recommendation and ended up having the van repaired for free! Thank you Terry. We even tried to tip him, but as Terry pointed to his shirt pocket, he said "you see this here says boss, and I'm the boss". He realized he wasn't wearing his boss name tag but assured us that normally it would say boss.


We drove off but decided to return with a case.




When in Norman OK, have all you vehicle servicing by Terry!



Trees!



Seater


Lawrence Kansas! Awesome town. Pat Mike and me went to see Slumdog Millionaire right before the show.


Same show


Oh no no no no no.


Mike's Birthday Burrito Bash with Abe Vigoda!


Yeah! the first of many Mexican meals.


Denver Colorado! Another Venue dog! This one was Jackson #2. Shotgun.


Fun


And in the morning it started to snow.....


We made awesome euro Breakie


Checked our email..


and then hit the road...



Now we realise what a heater core is, and that Terry kindly bypassed it completely so that we could continue the journey.

Day 40.
Pat braves the cold for another drive. Moral is low, and the crew is planning a mutiny.

Matt takes comfort in the note on the rearview...


The only reminder of home.


Madness strikes one of the crew as the persona of Reimenger. A reoccurring delusion.


Roads close, as we hardly make half way to our destination. The Albuquerque show is cancelled. The drive through liquor store is the only option.


Base camp.


and they got a pool table too.




The next morning we bravely venture into the wild.


Snow continues deep into New Mexico before finally relenting in Arizona.


Joy to see sunlight and landscape.


uh


Phoenix show is cancelled but Dane from Abe Vigoda arranges a House party to play at.


5 and dine


Burgers and shakes
