Oh No! At one of the stops David realized that the brake/gear lever was not working. . . we had no high gear. After a quick look he realized that the bolt that holds the shifter had broken.

Not wanting to break another bolt, Nolan produced a screwdriver from his kit and another friend had some copper wire. . . and here is the side-of-the-road fix. . . it lasted the rest of the weekend with no further problems. As a matter of fact, this was the only trouble we had all weekend.

I'm sorry to say that George didn't fare so well. He was loaded on the vulture wagon and hitched a ride to Greenville. Find out tomorrow how that turned out when this photo journal will continue.

The Lone Star T's have a fall tour every year - named Tickey Creek. In the six years that we have been on the tour I have yet to see a Tickey Creek sign. . . but we search for it every time.
This was the maiden voyage for our 1916 Speedster. I'm hoping to add more photos to this journal as folks send them to me.
