Great group shot of the crew along the Cabot Trail. Despite the rain, everyone’s having fun.

The crew spent Monday night on the ferry from Newfoundland. On Tuesday they drove around Cabot Trail, then, due to Joe’s breakdown, had to rework their schedule, so instead of making Price Edward Island, they camped at Hyclass Ocean Campground (same place they camped Tuesday night).

Tuesday’s drive along Cabot Trail.

Our intrepid crew left their overnight ferry yesterday, but it didn’t take long for Joe to run into trouble. The brand new alternator he’d purchased a few days earlier had a bearing go bad, making it sound like it might literally explode. Fortunately, CarQuest was willing to deliver one to him. So, they waited for a while.

These three didn’t let Joe’s alternator get them down. They went for a walk (food gathering perhaps? Trouble making?).2019-08-13-pei-kevin-jim-bill

As they walked, Jim wrote a new song, which I’ve titled, “Alternator Blues” … you’ll notice he still has a lot of work left on it…

Looking for an odd VEC CJ-2A? Look no further. It also has some value just in the combat rims.

“Has been sitting in my garage the last few
years, and I now know I will never finish the project, The engine is froze It is an F head engine I remove the head, number four cylinder is froze the rest probably are stuck as well, It is still fixable, Overall condition seems to be really good, it has a three speed shifter on the steering column
Pop out front windshield works, it has a metal top with doors, and at some point somebody added about a foot to the back of the jeep box. Will sell for 1500 or trade”
