Yes, the state of 'Confusion.'

Try looking at this in another way, Ron. You have an opportunity to be the first owner to do this eight times.

I like the way you think Gene...

Re: TBN "Celebrate Forty-Eight" Club

As for the states, dusty roads and miles. I have had a BLAST!! I have already been in more states and Canadian provinces in the last 3 years than I have my entire life, and it was in "A" Thunderbird. If you didn't have an odometer on the car to see your total mileage, would it matter. And as for the dusty gravel roads, of course no one "likes" to drive on them, however, we would not have missed this experience of being at the Northwest Angle Inlet, Minnesota, the Northernmost point of the lower 48 states, and the thunderbird is probably cleaner than before we started, it washed up very nicely.
Thanks Paul and TBN friends for all the travels and experiences.
Everyone has their own opinion.. this is mine

I have been fortunate to have been in all 50 states.......unfortunately only 21 in the Bluebird

Re: TBN "Celebrate Forty-Eight" Club

You know Paul I am absolutely confident that everyone of you that made the trip had the time of your lives. That doesn't mean that those of us that chose not to participate were not enjoying ourselves doing whatever we had going on. I assure you I wasn't sadly sitting around sulking wondering what I was missing, geeesh.

Rick, as you can see my response was directed to two specific comments. It had nothing to do with whether anyone was not enjoying themselves or sulking. I'm fine with however anyone choses to enjoy their vehicle(s), but that doesn't change the fact that they don't know what they are missing.

I count myself fortunate that Rosetta and I have the health, time and means to travel on TBN trips and events. I never take it for granted because any of these can go away at any time. So, as long as we can, I will, because there are a lot of amazing things to see in this country. I'd hate to miss one of them because I have preconceived notions about a location, a dirt road or saving miles on the car.

You've made your position on this clear many times. If you somehow think that my difference of opinion is somehow putting you down, I'm sorry, because that was/is never my intention.

Rick, your response sounds like sulking, the best thing you could have said was nothing. That way we would have known it did not matter to you.

Ron: I see you have trouble differentiating between fact and opinion as well. A lot of members here are silent for fear of being ridiculed by a handful.

I see you have no problems at all.

Fact and opinion in one post. Good job!

Re: TBN "Celebrate Forty-Eight" Club

How about one spouse for 48 years, that's probably even more of an accomplishment versus an activity. I have 2 1/2 years to go.

Connie and I had the opportunity to celebrate not only the " Forty- Eight " club this year but also our 50th wedding anniversary on 8/14/15. Life is good and so is driving a Thunderbird !!!!

Re: TBN "Celebrate Forty-Eight" Club

On October 4th the DC Thunder and Beyond group will detour into South Carolina for a short distance to celebrate Roger and Sharon Quern (RQTBIRD) joining the "Celebrate Forty-Eight" Club. To accomplish this, Roger and Sharon are visiting New England prior to joining up with the group in DC.

All but one of the current club members plan to be there to cheer them on. Last year we had two new cars join the group and this year we will as well - whose going to join the club next year? Make it a goal and have fun with it - we certainly have.

Re: TBN "Celebrate Forty-Eight" Club

I had forgotten about this thread, but glad Paul moved it to the top. Liz and I finished our forty-eight states in the Dusk Rose in one year and 356 days adding almost 34,000 miles while seeing the USA. A lot of those states were with Thunderbird friends and in some states we got to visit with Thunderbird friends along the way. The best part was Liz and I were together enjoying each others company, enjoying riding in a great Thunderbird, and seeing our beautiful country. We are looking forward to adding a few more states this year to several Thunderbirds and then next year we hope to complete forty-eight states on the Inca Gold. We are looking forward to a Wisconsin event next year and maybe Roger will throw in a wonderful event in New Orleans. Who knows, we may find a Red Thunderbird along the way.
We are sure looking forward to celebrating with Roger and Sharon when they reach South Carolina.

Re: TBN "Celebrate Forty-Eight" Club

I am hoping some day in the future we will be able to join this club. All we need is the Pacific Coast States and the New England States. Maybe sometime next year. We would have had the New England states but we were in the process of moving to Florida when the group did this.

Come to Tennessee next June and go with us to New England for their event. Then we are planning a trip to the west coast some time next year late summer and we would welcome your company on that trip.
