COLLECTORS CONVENTION COVERAGE

  POST-CON ROAD TRIP  

By Carlton Hendricks

 

 

FATIGUE SETS IN

This is the part of the story where I started to falter...Originally I had planned to take a breather and relax a little once I finished Adamstown and Denver. I knew that after six days of hitting it hard I'd be zapped...three days of running the 2013 National floor...a day of running thru Indiana's Antique Alley...another day of Springfield Ohio plus driving 450 miles...then hitting Adamstown hard...that made six days of go go go...and that doesn't even include the flight from California getting to the National...so it was really 7 plus days of wide open throttle! So the original plan was to take it easy that Sunday afternoon after finishing Adamstown...CheeseSteak.jpg (704771 bytes)I thought I might find a park somewhere and take an hour or so nap then head off for the one hour drive to Philadelphia. Once in Philly I was looking forward to one of those Philly cheese steaks at Jim's Steaks on South Street that I had on my 2007 National road trip...From there it would be off on another hour drive to the Seaview Resort in Galloway N.J. The plan was I'd get to Seaview late evening. Once at Seaview it would be R&R time and take in the area...

 

 

However...right before I left California I got a call from Corey Leiby that he wouldn't be able to see me the day we had planned, being Tuesday...So we switched it to Sunday afternoon after Adamstown...There was no other time...Phew!...Well...There just wasn't any way I was going to be that close to Corey's place and not see his collection....so hook or crook I was going to make it happen...I changed my plan and drove the hour north to Orwigsburg PA that Sunday afternoon. You've already seen Corey's great collection as my finale of the National coverage...by the time I finished shooting his collection it was 9:30 or 10:00PM and I left for the hour and a half drive to Galloway...and right about Philly it started to hit me...exhaustion!...with still another hour to go...

 

 

DRAG RACING IN PHILLY AT 1:00am

Then I got a courtesy pick me up thanks to some hot rod'er on the freeway as I was passing thru Philly...There I was driving along minding my own business at one o'clock in the morning and here comes this guy in a BMW hot rod with blaring pipes....pulls along side me gunning it...pulls away...comes back....pulls away...comes back...revving his engine trying to get me to race...It's one o'clock in the morning...I'm exhausted...and all I want to do is get to my hotel and here's this guy trying to race me...Obviously the red camaro convertible was a challenge he couldn't ignore...I'm think'n oh man go away leave me alone...just get me to my hotel...I completely ignored him like I didn't even know he was there....finally after a while he left...

 

So that perked me up a little but pretty soon I just couldn't take it...I was less than a half hour from the Seaview but I couldn't make it any further...I pulled into a rest island type deal and went to sleep...So there I was in a bright red camaro in a dark parking just outside Atlantic City at two in the morning...just asking to get held up...or shot...but the Lord was with me...I slept soundly for a half hour and took off...By the time I got to the hotel it was probably 3:00AM...and by the time I actually got into my room...unwound...sent the bellman down the street for some Haagen-Dazs...and watched a little T.V. it was probably 4:30-5:00AM before I got to sleep...

QUICK SEAVIEW REST-UP 

So the next day was mostly gone before I even got up...around 1:00PM...But it was time to get some rest not tearing it up as usual...I took a drive around the area in the late afternoon...stopped at a couple lame antiques stores...went back and had dinner at the hotel and that was my first day at Seaview...So that night I was thinking about what I would go do the next day...how I might drive up the New Jersey shore toward New York...or how I might drive to Princeton to see their trophies...and all a sudden it dawned on me...I didn't have a next day...I was suppose to be in Columbus OH the next night...wow did that visit go by so fast...And that was my own fault...I should have planned to leave on Wednesday....

 

GALLOWAY N.J. TO COLUMBUS OH. ON I-70 - 44 FRAME SLIDE

 

 

So the following morning I had breakfast in the main dinning room...then back in the camaro...top down...driving thru Philly and off to Columbus OH. The plan was I would stay in Columbus Tuesday night...Wednesday I would check out the antiques stores around Columbus. Then Wednesday afternoon make the one hour drive to John Gennantonio's home in Cincinnati. Get to John's by early Wednesday evening...Leave John's place by 10:00PM...drive to Indianapolis and stay Wednesday night at the Alexander again...then drive back to Chicago O'Hare and fly back to California Thursday afternoon.
