[Spridgets] Spridget 50th

[Kathryn Bales]

This lil' ol' lady has grandchildren in college, and I'm willing to 
drive my Midget to the east coast if that's what you all decide.  My 
navigator and assistant mechanic has four legs.  These cars were meant 
to be driven.  A long distance convoy can be great fun, and a good 
source of both moral and mechanical assistance.  Most folks on this list 
can diagnose and fix any problems with little more than duct tape and a 
hammer.

For those of you who have never driven out west, there is a ton of 
mountain man history in Wyoming, including Fort Jim Bridger and many 
other sites that are very close to the Interstate. Little America is the 
only truck stop in the world with its own Zip Code. I don't recommend it 
for food or lodging, as I feel it is over priced, but it is definitely 
worth a stop to see the gift shop. Wendover, UT has a museum dedicated 
to the bombers that dropped the bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Just 
west of Wendover you will see Pilot Peak, where fires were lit to guide 
wagon trains across the salt flats. For anyone willing to do a bit of 
climbing, you can see where the wagons were hoisted up the mountains.
