I’m really happy I had the opportunity today to catch up on your adventures so far, and am greatly relieved to know you made it safely thorough the Rockies. I’m certainly grateful you have such a good team riding with you.

As “cecily on June 26″ pointed out, Alice R. had the support of Maxwell but she wasn’t driving a 100-year-old car either. Whew, hadn’t thought of that before; maybe Babbs will have a new career opportunity endorsing vitamins?

Stay safe,

Heard about your story on the news today – and wished I’d had known sooner, as we were in Grand County at the same time. I’m so excited for you and your adventure, enjoy and be safe. I trust the Rockies treated you well dring your visit.

Will be keeping up with your story as you make your way further West! Go Babs Go!

Be safe and God speed.
Kimer, Bruce and Collin

Being an avid antique car buff I was amazed today to see a ‘09 Maxwell parked about a block from my house in Dinosaur Colo. I HAD to stop and check it out. I was aware of Alice’s original trip, but hadn’t heard a thing about Emily’s Centennial trip. The crew was in great spirits: possibly from getting the Rockies behind them, and the car looked great. A neighbor stopped by in his Model A to look at “Babs”, and it was fun comparing how much progress had been made in the 2 decades between the two cars. The Maxwell was huge compared to the “A”. A major rainstorm came through shortly after the group’s departure, and I hope Emily and all made it to Vernal without getting too wet. There are still a couple of major climbs for them on the Victory between here and Salt Lake, and then “America’s Lonliest Hiway” but I have faith they’ll pull it off.
Looking forward to reading how the rest of the trip goes.
Best wishes
Gary and family

Welcome to Colorado! I just read about your trip via 9news.com (a Denver news channel) and I must say I think it sounds fantastic! I hope you’re having a great time – it sure sounds like it…and I hope that the altitude doesn’t affect you too much :)

Best of luck, stay safe and happy travels!

Congratulations women! I am so proud to have been able to hop in the car with you. Earlier someone made a comment that the original drive didn’t have support. Alice had support! She was sponsored by Maxwell and ran into problems regularly. She did a lot on her own, but her car wasn’t 100 years old either. ;) Way to rise above the set backs. I think Alice is riding with you now.

So glad you have made it to Colorado! Had heard of Babbs acting up again and wondered what you had decided. You have a wonderful team and many well wishers that are pushing you forward. You just have to make the entire drive! My brother lives in Colorado and we had planned on joining you again in Cheyenne with he and his wife until both of our cars had problems. Anyway I know you two, Babbs and the team will make it. Just remember to rush those “hills” and drive safely.

Just read about you on 9News.com, a local Denver station. Must say I’m totally green with envy at your adventure! What a way to do a road trip! I’ll be keeping up with you from this point forward….just sorry I didn’t know to get started sooner! Travel mercies for the remainder of your trip and thanks for the kind words re: CO! It is a beautiful state, isn’t it?

Welcome to beautiful Colorado!!! The drive down Rabbit Ears Pass is one of the most breath taking views in all of our state, as it spans the beautiful Yampa Valley. Just wanted to point out that the two huge out-croppings of rock, high at the summit of Rabbit Ears Pass look like “rabbit’s ears”, thus the name for the pass. Hope you didn’t miss seeing them:) What an exciting adventure you’re experiencing. There are a lot of woman (and men) who would love to be making that trip with you. My family came to Colorado by horse drawn wagons and by train in the late 1800’s…my how things have changed. God speed as you continue on your trip.
