It is hard to believe that it was five years ago today that I reached Metropolis, Illinois to attend the memorial service/celebration of life for Noel Neill.
This was the longest trip to date (and it still holds that record for me) I have taken anywhere. It totaled three weeks long. I drove from L.A. to Metropolis in The Beast and it was this trip that I became enchanted with the Gallup, New Mexico area. I returned a year later and ended up buying my ranchette.
From Metropolis, I headed down to Memphis, Tennessee to visit Graceland and Sun Studio and then back to Illinois to see the Lincoln attractions.
From there, I went to Topeka, Kansas and met with Greg Smith and then to Abilene, Kansas to see the Dwight D. Eisenhower Library.
After that, I went to Monument Valley and the Grand Canyon before heading back home.
That was quite a trip.
