Do a Goggle search on "ethanol brass floats" and you will find many articles about ethanol eattin brass floats. One even suggests paying the float with a polyurethane paint to protect it.
Those of you with carbs will likely see more problems with this as time goes on.

Then don't miss the Route 66 Museum in Clinton, OK.
Just after you pass Hydro, OK look for the restored (but inactive) Lucille's gas station and store on the north side of I-44.

Thanks Mac. Those are definitely already on the Radar for today. Just the
kind of stuff we are looking to see. Wish we could have met personally with
you too.

I think you can drive to Lucille's if you get off I-44 at the Hydro exit. Old 66 comes into the town directly about a mile to the north, but then swings south and goes parallel to I-44. I'm not sure where 66 actually rejoins I-44, but a "good" GPS should show it.

Dwayne
You're getting more than your fair share of experience at shops working on
your GMC. Please, while you're kickin rocks, think about sharing your
experiences with those that follow on the Service Comments list at
http://www.bdub.net/GMCServiceComments.pdf. Contribute to it by emailing
bdub@bdub.net with subject "Addition for the GMC Service Comments List".
Same for everyone who wants to make their "adventure" with a shop count for
something more. It's meant to be a guide for those that follow.
Sorry for your over abundance of adventure this summer. They probably
averted catastrophe.
Thanks

Waiting for a tow to another garage in Ogden utah. They will pull the pan
and inspect the bearing and crank. So we'll have a brief holiday here in
Utah.
Any gmc owners around.

The Coleman Theater in Miami, OK is another great restored theater. It has had its original "Mighty Wurlitzer" pipe organ located, purchased, reinstalled, and restored. One of its recent performances was by Bob Heil, the designer and builder of some of the best microphones in the world with collaboration by Joe Walsh of "The Eagles."
Google "Coleman Theater" for lots more info.

Tonight the rolling rally is in Santa Fe, NM It is Happy hour here. Present
are the Hupy's, The St.Clair's, the Smith's, the Harper's, the Guttman's,
the Gregory's, the Paradis's, with their Austrailian Friends, the
Parmenter"s, the Boyds, the Williamson's who just departed for home. 10
coaches in all. Tonight we will do a pot luck dinner outside. Here for two
nights and then it is off to Gallup, NM and then West until our hats float
at Santa Monica, Ca. The end of the route is within striking distance. This
morning at Santa Rosa, NM we visited a sink hole known locally as the "Blue
Hole" One of our group jumped into it with their glasses on, which sank to
the bottom of an 81 deep pool. Unbeliveably, there were some scuba divers
in the pool, who were encouraged to retrieve them. After a 1/2 hour or so,
up he came with the glasses. Hooo Rahhh. We climbed in altitude most of the
day, and are currently at about 7500 feel elevation. My coach was being
cranky with the heat and altitude, but we all arrived safely. Tomorrow will
be a down day, shopping, laundry, maintence, etc. All for now.

I really recommend Maria's restaurant in Santa Fe. We went there
many times in the 19 years we lived there

Been there and I agree. Great place. I tried to convince the group to go
tonight but they wanted pot luck. We had pork chops, chicken, taco salad,
polenta, baked scalloped potatoes, and much more. We eat very well on the
road. They are cooking S'mores right now for dessert.

Nice group. Nobody goes hungry and no complaints about the food. Too bad
you're getting so near the end of your trip.

Good day:
I hope the rally is continuing to go well. I am a new member of the GMCnet, and have been enjoying following your progress on the Route 66. I live one block from Route 66 in LA (West Hollywood specifically) and was hoping to see you all driving through town. 66 is the main street (Santa Monica Blvd) through our small city. When you get to LA will you be taking the local freeways, or continuing your adventure on 66 all the way to the ocean? It would be nice to see you all and your coaches.
Regards
