Great Race 2012 - Day 3 Travel to Traverse

Ignore the date stamp on the picture. They reached Traverse City, MI on 6-20-12

 

The Packard entering the "Crossroads of America"

Reluctantly crouched at the starting line,
Engine pumping and thumping in time. 

Always a nice to see a Packard

"Finally made it to Traverse City. What a beautiful city! We had our fair share of traffic problems today. Major tie up in Gary Indiana. Had to get off the interstate and pick another route north. The Packard does not like to sit in traffic and idle, starts heading toward the big "H". Picked another route and it turned out to be very scenic. Do not have to go anywhere tomorrow, yea!! They will be checking out the vehicles for Saturday start. We will have a practice run Friday. Pulled into the Hotel parking lot and found the Packard sitting there. The view from the Hotel of the lake."
