We'd like to say there's a long story behind this, but there isn't, which leads us to believe we really haven't completely thought this through.

Oh, no! Those darned washboarded dirt roads. Good luck with your fix.

Brother Doug might be able to pull the engine from the Model A Doodlebug as a loaner to get you home if that would help… Definitely outside my area of expertise.

Pretty sure they don’t have that at the local Autozone. So, if you leave most of the luggage (one extra pair underwear per man) can you all make it to VA in one T? 😮
