The Foos started as kind of a lark. It started out on Harry's SmokStak page. Somebody had a 1 ½ Type J Foos they wanted to sell. After watching the ad for about a month I bit and ended up buying an engine 700 miles away in Florida. Many e-mails and a few phone calls later the arrangements were made and I planned a run to the Florida Panhandle. It would be a quick trip as it was to be in between business trips. I conned Erik into riding shotgun for a three-day run down and back.
Can't go all the way to beach without sticking your toes in the water. So we did the beach routine complete with a stop in a souvenir shack and wandered out on the pier to watch some people surfing. The weather was a little chilly but it was still a nice change from the cornfields.
I don't have any pictures of the engine at pick up or the journey back so you'll have to put up with a scenic shot from the beach.
Our route was I-65, the "Cracker Barrel Corridor". There were also some interesting sights along the way. We saw this fine establishement just north of the Alabammy state line in Tennessee. I can't vouch for the service, we decided to pass on a visit.
