I wish I could follow the adventure at work, but they block facebook. They should have made a documentary, I bet it would be a hysterical ride along! Can't wait for MOTB!!

Hmmm...no update. Apparently what happens in Vegas really does stay in Vegas!

Maybe it's best. I'm not sure I want to know.

10/07 this day we drove the rest of the way to San Diego California. We stopped in Las Vegas with John lost his shirt, and his luggage! While making an adjustment to the car he removed the luggage to access tools, however he forgot to put it back in the car. I spotted missing when I realize we had a lot of room in the buggy. Driving west into the sunset presented unique challenges without sunvisors, we managed to come up with a solution. A lot of our problems were resolved with good old 2 inch wide blue painters tape. Sorry I'm not able to update this daily the Internet is been touching go from place to place, i've been doing all these pictures and updates on my iPhone.

Blue Mask, It's the new duct tape!

Sorry to hear about the luggage, Need me to bring anything for John?, we look about the same size. Have him call me if he needs anything.

Drive safe

I used duct tape on my journey from Arizona to Chicago in my 77 Landcruiser many years ago. It works great!

Nice trip, are you guys driving both of your blue Manx's or just John's? I don't see any pics of the blue Manx with the Torque Thrust wheels.

Trying to post daily with an iPhone is not an easy task. Some hotels do have computers but won't allow you to log on to any sites which makes things difficult. I'm able to upload the photo bucket and here is the link to the album. Which I update as we go. You can also look us up on the Manx page on Facebook.
