Day 2 Windsor, CT to Binghamton, NY

This morning we started in Windsor, Connecticut. The morning was chilly but the skies were blue. We were heading west across Connecticut. The scenery was beautiful. We drove by farms, churches and really old homes. Many of the old homes in Connecticut have signs in front with the year the homes were built. We saw many homes built in the late 1700s. We even saw a cemetery that was founded in 1738.

There are probably more churches per square mile in both Rhode Island and Connecticut because they were the first states with religious freedom. We didn’t have a chance to visit, but the first synagogue in the United States is located in Newport, Rhode Island.

The North East is so beautiful this time of year. If Ireland has 10,000 shades of green, the North Eastern United States has 100,000 shades of green. It is so lush and green.

We drove around the Appalachian Trail, and through the Hudson River Valley. We loved seeing the lakes, rivers and streams. It is the anthesis of so much of California, we just marvel as we soak up the scenery. W

We finished the morning by driving to Montgomery Village, NY. We were greeted by a nice crowd for a Father’s Day car show, and the people from Rogo Fasteners #rogofastener. They sponsored our lunch and gave us each a goodie bag with some products for the car. Thank you Rogo Fasteners for making it a great lunch stop.

Which reminds me, thanks dad for introducing me to cars and car racing as a young girl. We hope you had a nice Father’s Day. We were sorry we weren’t home to celebrate with you.

We continued into New York and ended the day in Binghamton, New York. We were welcomed by The Twin Tier Mustang Club. The club sponsored our car, and the group was kind enough to show us around their car show and the group of Mustangs they brought to the event.

We appreciate each of the members who were there to show us a grand time. Mert & Janice, Dave & Magi, Greg & Sharon, and last but not least Bob and Carol we wanted to thank you for making the evening most enjoyable.

Bob and Carol, we hope you come to California. We are still waiting to hear how you built up the nerve to ask Carol on a date 54 years ago.

We ended the evening in the parking lot of the hotel. We had a few friends come over and congratulate us. We were in second place over all. It is nice to hear, but this is an endurance race. You don’t win on the second day.

Thank you again to The McCollister’s team. #mccollistersautotransport We appreciate your daily support. Billy and Roni have been there to greet us each evening as we finish the day.

Thank you also to Mustang Country, Day 2 completed and Jane continues to run well.

Thank you to our family and friends for all of your messages, love and support!
