Day 3 of our journey to Black Rock City

Day 2 - from horse country to farm country to the big city

1:00am - Hello Lexington, Kentucky!!! We planned on about 7hrs of driving, and ended up with close to eleven hours of travel. Is it...

Rusty is back on the road and doing much better after changing a fan. Heading into some rain.

We decided to travel a little ahead of Rusty. Found this lovely little Park in George Washington National Forest near Longdale Forge

So maybe weight is the problem? We're unpacking and repacking The Rusty Iris and the truck and trailer to see if we can cool down Rusty.

And lunch on the shoulder of the highway.

Just one more thing!

Support the Rusty Iris - buy her some fuel!

It'll be fine. We'll just leave tomorrow.

Tomorrow we depart! After over four years of preparation, we are.... almost ready! See you on the road!
