The year was 1973. I had a '67 Lemans Sprint, and was stationed at Fort Huachuca,
Az. for AIT. In early January, after the holidays, my wife and I loaded up the
car to drive to Az. from Illinois.
We got to the post and established our first home in
a trailer park near the post north gate.
On weekends we traveled around southern Az. visiting Tombstone and
other sights in the nice Az. mild weather, a very enjoyable time.

Once I was discharged, I had some back pay in my pocket, no current job, so we
traveled west to San Diego to see the sights and visit my sister. We went up to
Yosemite right after they had 8 feet of new snow and did some tubing down the
hills. The fresh deep snow was spectacular. Back to San Diego and the Zoo, Sea
World, the Safari, Mission Bay, Coronado Island.
We then managed to go to Disneyland, of course, never been there
either.
On the way back to the midwest, we visited the Grand Canyon, first time at the
Canyon.

It probably doesn't seem like a very memorable time to the casual reader, but
it's a fond memory for the two of us, relative newlyweds, kind of starting
life together.

Had no issues with the car at all, except for some noticeable high altitude
richness around the Huachuca mountains around 8k feet. The post is also
approx. 1 mile above sea level.

Kept the car till '83, repainted it in Imron Slate Gray, parchment interior,
and added a 5 speed.

It was destroyed when a guy slid across the centerline in a curve and I t-boned
him. Wish I still had the cammer!
