This month is about the journey and July happens to be the month that in 1969, a spaceship took off from earth heading to the moon to have the first humans walk on the moon. The ultimate journey. Apollo 11<\/strong> (July 16\u201324, 1969) was the American spaceflight that first landed humans on the Moon<\/a>. Commander Neil Armstrong<\/a> and lunar module pilot Buzz Aldrin<\/a> landed the Apollo Lunar Module<\/a> Eagle<\/em><\/a> on July 20, 1969, at 20:17 UTC, and Armstrong became the first person to step onto the Moon’s surface six hours and 39 minutes later, on July 21 at 02:56 UTC. Aldrin joined him 19 minutes later, and they spent about two and a quarter hours together exploring the site they had named Tranquility Base<\/a> upon landing. Armstrong and Aldrin collected 47.5 pounds (21.5 kg) of lunar material to bring back to Earth as pilot Michael Collins<\/a> flew the Command Module Columbia<\/em><\/a> in lunar orbit<\/a>, and were on the Moon’s surface for 21 hours, 36 minutes before lifting off to rejoin Columbia<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

History Trivia:<\/strong> Did you know that Alice Huyler Ramsey<\/a>, the first woman to drive across the US. She did this trip in 1909. On June 9, 1909, this 22-year-old housewife and mother began a 3,800-mile journey from Hell Gate in Manhattan, New York, to San Francisco, California, in a green, four-cylinder, 30-horsepower Maxwell DA. The trip took 59 days. They arrived amid great fanfare on August 7, 1909. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ramsey had always loved the open road. Her husband, John Ramsey, had gifted her a Maxwell Touring Car in 1908, and she became a common sight driving all over New Jersey. Very few women drove cars at this time, and Ramsey\u2019s enthusiasm and composure behind the wheel caught the eye of some local Maxwell dealers. It was then that the Maxwell Company approached the Ramsey\u2019s with the idea to let Alice drive one of their cars across the country. The company wanted to prove that not only was their vehicle durable, but was also easy to operate and repair. Maxwell provided her a car, covered all the expenses and alerted dealers and media about the trip. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Six years before Alice Ramsey made her trip, in 1903, George Wyman became the first person to make a transcontinental voyage across the United States by motor-vehicle. And he did it on a 1905 Yale California motorcycle. Wyman made the trip from San Francisco to New York City in 51 days. His motorcycle only had 1 and 1\/4 horsepower. He is pictured here with the bike that made this incredible journey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If riding a motorcycle across the country isn’t a long enough ride for you, check-out this journey. The longest road in the world to walk, is from Cape Town (South Africa) to Magadan (Russia). No need for planes or boats, there are bridges. It’s a 22,387 kilometers (13911 miles) and it takes 4,492 hours to travel. It would be 187 days walking nonstop, or 561 days walking 8 hours a day. Along the route, you pass through 17 countries, six time zones and all seasons of the year. Amazing!!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Achievements & Special Recognition<\/strong>: Earlier this month, Akhil passed his private pilot checkride today with Harry. He did an outstanding job. Near perfect on all maneuvers. He did this just a few weeks after his 17th birthday. Now he can fly a plane by himself anywhere in the world, however he still cannot drive a car by himself. His instructor was Tal Sabag<\/a>. Harry did her CFI checkride just over a year ago. Her two most recent applicants both did outstanding. Way to go Akhil and Tal. Akhil plans to study aeronautical engineering in college and design planes one day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Crossing the English Channel can be a challenging journey. How about trying it in a human powered aircraft. The Gossamer Albatross<\/strong><\/em> is a human-powered aircraft<\/a> built by American aeronautical engineer Dr. Paul B. MacCready<\/a>‘s company AeroVironment<\/a>. On June 12, 1979, it completed a successful crossing of the English Channel<\/a> to win the second Kremer prize<\/a> worth \u00a3100,000 (equivalent to \u00a3538,000 in 2021). Just before 6 am on June 12, 1979, amateur cyclist and pilot Bryan Allen<\/a> powered the Albatross<\/em> to the rehearsed speed of 75 revolutions per minute and took off from a point near Folkestone<\/a>, England.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Car\/Motorcycle Show News<\/strong>:   Have you ever driven the Tail of the Dragon<\/a>? The Dragon has 318 curves in just 11 miles. What an awesome ride! It is a ride like no other place in the world. Some of the curves have been given nicknames like: Beginner\u2019s End, Bust Bend, Shade Tree Corner, Hog Pen Bend, Sunset Corner and Mud Corner. There is a resort that has a tree decorated with various motorcycle parts lost in crashes on The Dragon. If you drive it, be careful. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our bikes are ridden locally and\/or trailered to shows. Grace McDonald<\/a> is riding her KTM motorcycle around the world. Grace has a very cool story to tell about her journey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here is Grace’s story called Destination Everywhere:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s 2016, late on a Thursday night, Town Hall Station, Sydney: I\u2019ve just left work and I\u2019m watching rats scurry along the tracks as I wait for my train. I\u2019m exhausted. I\u2019ve been exhausted for a long time. Long days and nights as a corporate lawyer have not brought a fulfilling life, only grey fatigue. I just want to get on my motorcycle and ride away, and not come back.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Six months later, that\u2019s exactly what I do. I pack my worldly possessions into the panniers of my KTM 690 Enduro and I ride out of town and I don\u2019t look back.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019ve been warned: everyone tells me that as a solo female, I won\u2019t make it. That I am too weak, too vulnerable, too lacking in mechanical qualifications.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

First, I ride into the deserts of central Australia, remote regions where I camp beside dry river beds and watch the unbelievably bright stars splash across the sky like milk. Day after day, the corrugated gravel roads bring me peace. People, when I find them, are friendly. They give me oranges from their gardens, fruit cake baked in camp ovens.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have this idea that I\u2019ll ride to Paris: it\u2019s a long way away, and the route will take me through Asia and up through Iran. I think it will take me 18 months. I am wrong.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I ship my motorcycle into Asia via Timor Leste, the youngest country in the world. I\u2019ve never been to an undeveloped country before; I reclaim my motorcycle from customs and ride through the chaotic streets, out in the villages, wide eyed as dirt tracks take me deep into the interior. This is a country of mountains, and kindness; deeply Catholic but animist in times of trouble; a place of generosity in the face of the fact that 40% of the population are stunted from malnutrition. I stay at convents, with the nuns and schoolgirls; at first they won\u2019t let me in because, when I arrive on my big motorcycle in all my gear, they think I am a man.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Later, in the steam of hotsprings at night, I have a machete stand off with a survivor of the war of independence. He is clearly not well; a living ghost. He stakes out my door, chainsmoking cigarette after cigarette, before he takes his machete and vanishes with his mob of wild dogs, the same way that he came.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first time I cross a land border \u2013 Timor Leste to Indonesia \u2013 I am tingling with excitement. Imagine riding around the whole world on your motorcycle. I am addicted<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I fall in love with Indonesia, island hopping for nearly a year, losing myself in a simple version of life which rotates around rice, fish, and family. This is a country where people truly love motorcycles: more than once, I ride into a small town to be greeted by strangers who are waiting for me. How did they know I was coming? The moto family is sprawling and vibrant; the grapevine works formidably.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Borneo, I cry over a damaged camshaft and replace my rocker arms. In Cambodia I do it again, this time without the tears. On a road in Java I hit the back of a car that stops suddenly, denting the bumper; the driver gets out and apologises and asks that God bless me. In Sulawesi, a car hits me from behind and I go down; but I get up again, and straighten my barkbusters, and don\u2019t complain. Everything works out in the end.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

My original timeframe has long passed by the time I talk my way into Vietnam, against all laws and all odds. I ride all the way to the Chinese border, shivering through mountains shrouded with cloud, places where the only warming soup available is made out of pony.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

When Covid closes the borders and the music stops, I am in Thailand. Everyone asks me if I will \u2018go home\u2019 now, but where is home? The money runs out. My motorcycle is stuck on the wrong side of the Cambodian border.  I am penniless, alone, bereft in the midst of a pandemic.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

So I learn to ride enduro, and I learn to speak Thai. Suddenly, my whole world opens up: it turns out that meaning of life is not only motorcycles, but specifically dirt biking. I ride a 2 stroke enduro machine for the first time and I am hooked, and the answers to everything emerge. I start a business with my Thai friends. Now, I run enduro and road tours through the mountains of Northern Thailand between November and February; the rest of the year, I ride the whole world.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The topic this month is the “Journey”. And he is an interesting “basement crawl-space find” for this month. This collection has an interesting 2 part journey. If you stayed overnight in a motel before the late 1990s, you most likely received a key connected to a large metal or plastic key fob. The initial purpose for these tags, which were primarily made of a heavy metal, were so guests wouldn’t forget to the return them. Harry’s father (Ed Kraemer) was a truck driver. He loved to travel. As a young boy, Harry’s family would take a lot of weekend trips and his father was staying in motels almost daily. Ed started collecting the motel key fobs (back then, they were just referred to a key chains). Ed kept the key fobs in metal coffee cans until the family was able to purchase their own single family home with a basement so Ed had a place to display the collection. Harry helped with putting the key fobs on these boards. Some of the fobs are likely from the 1950s. Ed continued collecting them up to the early 1980s until his health was failing and he could no longer work. After he passed away in 1983, Harry moved away and the collection was lost. As Harry’s aviation career “took-off”, Harry would often think about the collection whenever he stayed in a motel and was given a key fob like in his dad’s collection. Harry did not know the whereabouts of the collection, however, over the years he hoped that one day he would be reunited with it. In 2021, the collection was found and Harry was contacted and asked if he wanted it. Yes! Was the answer. The collection was found in the basement crawl-space of Harry’s childhood home. So after nearly 40 years, the collection that Ed Kraemer started in the 1960s, was reunited with Harry. This collection was a journey collecting them and then being lost for nearly 40 years and then making the journey back to Harry was amazing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This month we have a couple of Camaro barn finds. This 1967 Camaro had been sitting outside untouched from 1974 to 2004. Then the car was sold to the second owner and packed into a barn until it was recently discovered by a Camaro enthusiasts. Click here for the full story on this awesome find<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The second one is a red 1967 Camaro SS 396 that spent 43 years in a pole barn. They’re out there, you just need to look for them. The story goes like this: The owner parked the Camaro in his pole barn behind his house in Wisconsin in 1975. He had purchased the vehicle in 1972 for just $800.00. He did have plans to restore it, however, life happens, family, etc. In 2018 he decided to pull the car from the barn and sell it. Turns out, it was\/is a matching numbers SS 396. We could not find any information on what the car sold for or if he did sell it. This just reinforces the fact that there are gems out there just waiting to be found.

Earlier this month, Elizabeth passed her initial flight instructor checkride with Harry as the DPE. Elizabeth is a very gifted and natural pilot. This was their 4th checkride together. Harry did her private, instrument, commercial, and now her CFI. She did this in her own Cessna 150. She soloed at the age of 17 and had her commercial pilot certificate by the age of 18. She was a commercial pilot before she had her driver’s license. She was able to get paid to fly, however she could not drive herself to the airport. And now, she can teach you to fly an airplane.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She’ll be starting the trip sometime in 2022 from her home state of Texas. Her first stop will be Florida and then down go go through the Panama Canal. Ellen<\/a> is pictured here with her boat the \u201cEvelyn Mae\u201d. The Evelyn Mae was built for Ellen by Rannoch Adventure<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ellen’s longest distance in the open ocean will be when she crosses the Pacific. This will be about 8,000 miles and her estimate is that it will take her 8 to 12 months. So Ellen will be on her boat, for 8 to 12 months non-stop. She will not get off for breaks or rest periods. Her boat can hold about 12 months of supplies. The Pacific crossing will just be Ellen and her boat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ellen is taking the international trip of a lifetime. How would you like to go on an international trip in your backyard? ZAVIKON ISLAND is home to a bridge that, at only 32 feet in length, is considered the shortest international bridge in the world. It connects a Canadian island with an American island in the middle of the Saint Lawrence River. So every time you go to your backyard, you have taken an international journey. This property is a private residence, both islands are part of a family’s home. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Who doesn’t love traveling on a cruise ship? Here’s a canal in Greece that makes the journey just as exciting as the cruise; the Canal of Corinth, Greece. Breathtaking views going through the canal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Want to experience what it was like to sail on a Baltimore Clipper ship like the ones built over 100 years ago? The tall ship Liberty Clipper<\/a> offers windjammer sailing vacation cruises on such a sailing ship. The Liberty Clipper is a replica sailing ship whose design was inspired by the Baltimore Clipper style of vessels which were predominant along the East Coast in the early 19th century. So you can go back in time and experience what it was like to sail on a Baltimore Clipper ship from the 19th century.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What’s better than a sailboat or motorboat? An amphibious vehicle. Did you know that the first self propelled amphibious vehicle was tested on July 13 1805? The vehicle was developed\/invented by Oliver Evans. Click here for a short story about his invention<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oliver Evans’ vehicle was steam powered. Steam was the choice of power during the era.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Steam Power beginnings: In 1698 Thomas Savery patented a pump with hand-operated valves to raise water from mines by suction produced by condensing steam. In about 1712 another Englishman, Thomas Newcomen, developed a more efficient steam engine with a piston separating the condensing steam from the water<\/p>\n\n\n\n
