Eastern Steam car tour.

About twenty cars.
First day two seasoned veterans scorched their boilers.
Two cars climbed Mount Washington.
Two other cars went a few miles up.
I broke a valve rod at the end of a good day.

Today was the last day of the tour. A 1910 - 20 HP car lost a cylinder cover.
A 1909 E2 broke a valve rod. At least he got the five days in.
The museum car got a flat tire. They got a patch kit at a hardware store and fixed it.

At the blow down banquet I was told a 1907 car had broke the gears in the rearend.
With all these minor mishaps it was a great week and everyone had a great time.
