Our Own FBBO "Power Tour" Mopar Car Tour

[HawkRod]

Hi,

I STILL haven't forgotten about doing this. I have had a few challenges, the last of which is that my retina in my left eye almost fully detached. I had to have emergency surgery and I still have at least a month or two before my eye is (mostly/ hopefully) back to normal. Surgery was last month, and I had to spend a week face down, 24/7, to allow a gas bubble to help heal the back of my eye.

So I have to postpone (again - sorry) until later - maybe August, September or October. I have to see how my eye is healing.
Anyway, I am thinking the tour will be a 3 day affair over a long weekend. Pennsylvania, New York and maybe Ohio are the three key states, but we could also head up towards the NE states as well. What I am working on are three cool things to do/ see after each day's drive.

Apologies for the delays

Heal up Hawk. Thanks for checking in. And please keep us posted on how you’re doing. The Power Tour can wait. Your health comes first!

That sounds like fun, too bad it's so far away...


I hope you heal fully & have a speedy recovery...
Heal up, get well, the cars, roads & hotels/campsites, destinations whatever,
will be there still...

I will follow along 'from afar', if & when it happens...

My buddy had the same issue. I remember the whole face down bubble thing. If you are not up to Carlisle, just let us know what to do.

And here I've been feeling sorry for myself because of a prolonged respiratory virus thing.
Certainly praying for your complete recovery.
I'll give the trip planning some thought hopefully I can contribute.
September is my favourite weather month.

I WILL be at Carlisle. I have a buddy of mine driving my Road Runner for the show, and the guy who bought my 73 will be there too with his (my old) 73 too. One way or another, I will drag myself there and not miss it.

Seriously, by then, my left eye should hopefully be healing. I'll likely need a corrective lens for it, since they were digging in my eye and it likely won't ever be quite the same. I might not have the new lens yet, but my right eye should hopefully keep me in the game!

 

[Don Frelier]

Looking forward to "seeing you" then.

 

[Richard Cranium]

I WILL be at Carlisle.

If you have a patch on your eye, be sure to dress the part for us.

 

[Don Frelier]

Have you forgotten how hot it is Carlisle?
That wool coat is not gonna work.
You trying to kill the poor guy?

Looks Like I have an appointment to plan for cataract surgery early October, and then my guess is the cataract surgery will be November.
Sorry, but I'm going to push the tour until spring so I can (hopefully) see well and can enjoy the trip more.
