Dear John,
The Steaming on the Mississippi Steam Car Tour concluded this past Friday.
This was a four day tour headquartered in Prairie du Chien, Wisconsin. 22
cars participated from 14 states; 20 Stanley's and 2 White's. We took our
1917 Stanley 730 touring and had four excellent days of driving.
The firing up banquet was held on board the paddlewheeler Julia Belle Swain
while we steamed along the Mississippi River. She is one of five steam
boats remaining on the Mississippi. This was followed by four great days of
touring in Southwestern Wisconsin and Eastern Iowa. A few pictures are
attached that you may post on your website if you wish.
Regards,
Alan Woolf
