Ford Tri-Motor

[G.I.B.]

There is a Ford Tri-Motor flying out of Marathon this weekend giving rides over the 7 mile bridge. $79 a person.

79 bucks seems pretty reasonable for a ride in an aircraft with a lot of cool character. I took a picture of this one last June when me and my wife took a little get away trip to San Diego. We stayed at a cool old motel in Ocean Beach and went to the zoo, Balboa Park the Maritime museum and up and down the stairsways and hatchway of the aircraft carrier Midway. It was a great little trip for the both of us other than she using voice guidance on her GPS. Dang voice on that doesn't gives enough advance time for turns. Things got a little heated when I told her my way of looking at the map and knowing when there's a turn coming up is better. I was able to shutup and deal with it and let her do it her way and not be a backseat driver. Still it was stressful for me to relax and enjoy the drive and I learned to cope with it with it all, plus I really didn't want to drive. I survived and it all ended well.
