    My buddy Ron Hickman has been passing on photos of his on the road trip to the LA ROADSTER SHOW..... THIS PICTORIAL IS A MODEM BUSTER!
    Ron hails out of FLA and those who know big Ron...know that he drives the wheels off his 3w.
    This dude never stops....
    anyhow,..... with his permission.. he has allowed me to share his pics of the sights and scenes along the way....
    I can only give what commentary he has made available....

    enjoy!

    I believe the guys left from fla.......

    Snacks..everyone needs road trip snacks! ha ha ha:)

    Dang..I was having a senior moment.. Ron's handle here is Hotrod 3w....He is the shooter.I am just the messenger...living vicariously thru his lens!

    I guess there isn't much to shoot in Mississippi.... ha ha
    comments from Ron.....

    "Day 2 June 5 , left Leland, Mississippi to Arkansas and ended up at Amarillo, Texas at 1am so we can meet a guy from the NSRA fello pages that has a fan waiting for us for the new 32' in the morning. The fan locked on the 1st day and was taken off."

    DAY 3(part 1)
    So Ron and the fellas close in on Amarillo and hang at Mark Warrick's shop.I assume more repairs were needed.
    Mark's shop (Soncy Road Body Shop) is an awesome joint.......
    Ron states it was an awesome visit but had to leave cause some Texas BBQ was waiting.....

    DAY 4
    Ron's own words.....
    " This morning had to get some repairs done to Rays 32' then 3 miles down the road Johns Model A needed alittle help. After that headed thru Wolf Creek Pass to Durango for some more BBQ. Next we went to Four Corners so I can be in 4 states at one time. Finshed the afternoon driving thru the painted desert to Flagstaff.

    Day 5.... Rons own words....
    "Day 5, June 8th Left Flagstaff on 89a thru Sedona to Prescott then to Quartzsite. That run had about 3 really good sections of twisty curvey roads. When we made it to Quartzsite we found a highway to drive on. We have not been on a highway since 10 right past Tallahassee. From there we couldnt get to Pomona soon enough. We are staying at the Shilo Inn for the next 10 days."
