Our most recent long range deliveries came to a close Tuesday when we finally completed the work portion of our 4200 mile journey.  The trip started out and planning to move a rare wood gear clock to the Chicago area. This turned into a purchase in Murfreesboro, a delivery in St. Louis, moving 2 Clocks from Chicago to Marietta, Georgia, and a visit to a few old and new Clock friends who also share the love of the Clock business. One of our stays at the Wies mansion b&b, Waterloo IA, ended up getting their clock running while we were staying there. And today the two Clocks from Chicago area were delivered to their new home operating like a champ.  I included some photos from the twisties Road. The Clock shop band has ever traveled, snake alley, the groundhog Day Clock at the Cherry tree bed-and-breakfast, a Chelsea Clock in Manitowoc, Michigan,  ice cream, and Chatham Michigan with a family friend.
 Surprise visits to field of dreams, the grumpy old men neighborhood, the last Corvair body ever made, Abraham Lincoln’s home in Springfield, even a trip to the future birthplace of Captain Kirk. I was telling my customer today all the places that his Clock had visited over the last two weeks.
