Took the M37 out for a cruise

Post by jim lee »

Starting to get the bugs worked out of our M37, so we decided to attempt a bit of a trip this sunday. The youngest daughter wanted to spend a day playing with her horse. The wife & I figured it would be fun to try going on further and hit a random restaurant for lunch. This is the furthest we've tried to take our M37 "Theodore". Anacortes over to Coopville, not sure of the miles. Seemed to be a ways at 45mph.

On Whidbey island heading to the horse barn. This is about 1/3 of the way into the trip.

Image
Horse checking to see if this thing is dangerous or not. Most things check out as dangerous with this beast.


Image
The horse & kid playing around. I had to clean out the carrot bits when they were done.

Image
At coopville. Time for lunch. Was a great lunch!


Image
Another at Coopville. You can see the Penn Cove pier in the background. Seems that Penn Cove is famous for shellfish.


Image
Heading back from lunch to the barn. These are the shell fish pens. Oyster pens? I donno'. They are tasty little critters though!


Image
Stopped by the 3 sisters farm outlet store, thing. Picked up fresh meat, dary and a pie!


Image
Heading back over the Deception pass bridge. Coors, used this bridge to pretend they were in Colorado on an ad. Funnier n' heck to see Coors pretending that our home town by the sea was up in the Rocky mountains.


Truck made it the whole way with out a hitch. Had to pull over a lot to let people by. Listening to the running gear for things breaking or about to break tied me out. But we all have a great time. Heck even the horse got some carrots, so its happy too!

Thanks!

I'm hoping to do more trips. At least until we break something. Were building up stepwise to do the ~400mi round trip to visit the middle child at college. He's all psyched for us to come visit. (Well see how this works out.)
