A LITTLE SOMETHING TO DO IN YOUR RETIREMENT

Two guys from Australia, Rod Wade and Michael Flanders, hot off the trail from the Peking to Paris Rally are planning a trip across the United States. Their plan is to make the 3,000 mile passage in 60 hours in a 1930 Model A Ford. I would love to do this trip, but not in 60 hours, there is too much to do and see. And there is no such thing as too old, Rod Wade is 70. As so many cross-country travelers (walkers, runners, bikers, motorcyclists) have done they will take a bottle of water from the Atlantic and pour it in the Pacific. They are pictured above on their way through Mongolia. So, if they drive across the States by the time they get home they will have driven around the world. Nice!
