That's cool, My mom was a young mom too!!
I made it back!!!
well, 30 hours on the road + 30 minutes in the shop where i got it and the G&B is ours!!!
Sf bay to Walla Walla Washington and back. 14+ hours each way at 70mph.
It is filthy but in surprisingly good condition.
The deck though stained is actually silky smooth to the touch in places.
Every moving part moves
No apparent breaks, but i am now beginning the photo essay and cleanup.
I took a few quick pics .
