Since today is 'International Model A Day'...How many of us were out on the roads to celebrate with other Model Aers? Here in Arizona our club 'Model A Restorers Club of Arizona' had 21 cars out for breakfast and good fellowship at Berge Ford in Mesa from 8am to 10am. Some cars made round trips of over 50 miles to participate...Ernie:)
 
I'm at the New England meet in North Conway, NH. Over 200 registratjons and today we had a great tour to Mount Washington. Picture perfect day with temperatures reaching 80 degrees.
 
River Cities Model A Club toured and displayed our cars at "Uptown Columbus," in downtown Columbus, GA today. Ten Model A's and 14 Model A'ers. Great day...
 
Old Dominion had cars at Field Day of the Past. I went yesterday, so I made my Cabriolet my daily driver today. Lots of people asked questions, and appeared to enjoy seeing it at the stores, library, etc.
 
I am in Craig Colorado on a trip from Michigan. Drove to Steamboat Springs and back today.Have been on the road for a week and a half and have seen only one other Model A on the road. Let's hit the road! JB
 
Cedar Creek Model A Ford Club, Texas took about a 60 mile trip/tour today. The "Lake Group" ate breakfast in one side of the county and the "East Side Group" ate breakfast in Edom, Texas. Then met up an traveled thru the backroads to one of the favorite antique / junk stores. From there again thru the more backroads to Wades Seafood in Chandler, Texas for lunch.

The San Gabriel Valley Model A Restorers Club, the Santa Anita A's and the Diamond Tread Chapter of MAFCA celebrated the day with a poker run followed by a freshly prepared taco lunch with Klondike bars for dessert. We had 22 model A's and 56 participants. The poker run which started in Arcadia, California took us to Rosemead, Sierra Madre and back to Arcadia.
 
After a week of REALLY crappy weather, today dawned bright and clear. Tomorrow is going to be wet again so we lucked out. About 20 cars at the home of one of the club members for lunch, a chat and a look at his collection.
 
The San Diego A's toured along the coast from Ft. Rosecrans to Ocean Beach to Mt. Soledad to Torry Pines Glider Port then to a fabulous lunch.
 
My car club, the Colonial Virginia Model A Ford Club (MARC & MAFCA), participated in our Annual Poker Run and driving tour of the beautiful Colonial Virginia Parkway in and around the Historical Triangle of Yorktown, Williamsburg and Jamestown, Virginia.

On International Model A Day I drove my '31 Pickup from Mt. Whitney Portal Campground to the Bay Area. I met my Dad in his pickup there for a camping trip that just happened to be on Model A Day. The weekend consisted of over 700 miles traveled and a climb of over 9000' on Friday to get to the campground and over the Tioga Pass in Yosemite. Was a great trip with no roadside seminars required, although a cracked block was JB Welded for the ride home in my Dad's truck. (curious to see if he reads this) The picture ifs from the top of the pass, where we stopped for the view, a refreshment, and to give the old girl a break. IMG_0235.JPG
