Hello everyone, and welcome to my online journal to document two young guys driving a stock Model A Ford across the country. I will try and keep this updated as much as possible throughout the trip, so please bear with me if I don't post something every day while on the road. The purpose of this blog is to keep anyone who is interested updated with where we are, what we're up to, and how we're doing! Feel free to contact us if you hear we're coming through your area, if there are any events going on, or even if you just want us to stay at your house and play you some music!
Background:
I purchased a 1930 Model A Coupe back in February of 2013, and ended up having to move out of California one year later with the car in pieces. The car was stored at a friends house (and still is right now) while I helped move my things and my parents' things to Tennessee, and I didn't get to see it until this Fall. Now that I'm back in California it's time to get it all put together and get it out east! My buddy Lane and I (Sean) will give ourselves roughly one month to drive from either California to Lousiana/Arkansas, or from California to Arkansas/Louisiana/Arkansas. The reason for Lousiana is a goal of ours to make it for a Cajun music festival and Chili Cookoff on October 24th-25th called Blackpot Festival. I am moving to Fayetteville, AR which will be the final home for me and the car, so if we make it out there earlier than planned we'll stop in Arkansas so I can see my new home first!
About us:
I am 25 years old and have loved antique things for as long as I can remember. Within the last few years I became very interested in old cars and motorcycles, and I figured old simple cars would be a good way to learn mechanics. Lane, my buddy who is driving the car with me, is 33 and also loves old cars. We both love adventure, and have traveled the back and forth across the country many times in many different ways, including a big diesel truck that ran off of vegetable oil. We both also play traditional southern fiddle music, music that was meant for squaredancing and was developed mainly in the Appalachian mountains. I will be bringing a fiddle and Lane will be bringing a guitar, so we plan to play music in some of the towns we pass through to make some gas/food money.
