| Hi Don, great to read your
journal. You will not remember
me but I was a control marshal
for the last week running from
Italy right up to Paris booking
you guys in. It was wonderful
to be part of the adventure
in our own small way. I would
love to get hold of a copy of
your incredible journal as a

| I met Don Jones on 8-8-2000
in Wisconsin, and was very impressed.
His trip reminded me of my now-deceased
Father's trip from Minnesota
to Los Angeles in 1932 to see
th Olympics. It took four of
them 65days and 65 flat tires
to get their Model-T Ford round-trip.
This trip was a primary highlight
in his life, and brought many
opportunities for him to reminisce
about the same. Best Regards,
Tom Vertin. Breckenridge, MN.

Please forward on to Don Jones.
Thank you. |

| I found your website looking
for the artists, Konstantin/
Boudnikov. I bought some prints
in NY last weekend from supposedly
the artists, but I wasn't sure.
It began to rain and I helped
them gather their work. In return
they gave me a great deal but
I'm looking to purchase an original.
It seems looking for them, I
found you. It seems they found
you as well from the intro photo
in Times Square. Good luck with
all. Tracy |

acomplishment or you and the
automobile.. but then, I drive

| In 1905 my Cousin drove
a new Buick across country and
broke the records. He had done
this about 10 years previous
on a bicycle and set many records.
This man ended up as the Manufacturer
of the DEVAUX automobile in
the early 30's. This was Norman

| I have been surfing the
web for a while now looking
for information and you seem
like the best source. Your trip
sounds amazing. Just increditable.
This is what my friend and I
want to do, I would like to
know if you think it would be
safe and feasible. Starting
in Nepal, travel to Europe using
only public transportation.
We would be in Nepal by May
20th. We hoped to spend at least
a week there. Then head to India,
pakistan, afganistan, iran,
trukey. Probably the same route
as you. We are 2 20 year old
males with alot of traveling
experience. I was wondering
how you would sugguse I go about
reasearching such a trip. Should
I get books on every country?
Do I need visa's for every country?
Whatever advice you have would
be apreciated. You are an expert
on such matters. Thank you very
much. Mike Riegelman riegs@gwu.edu |

| Hi Don &Carl, My husband
Peter and I were actually on
an anniversary weekend trip
to Paris in October 1997 when
we accidentally stumbled across
the finish of the Peking to
Paris rally.It was so exciting
to see that we abandoned the
rest of the day's itinery and
stayed to watch all the cars
(including yours) come in. We
have lots of photographs and
memories of a thrilling finale
which was certainly the highlight
of our trip. I would just like
to congratulate you on your
achievements and thank you for
creating such a wonderful website
- it has allowed me to enjoy
the adventures of the whole
race and not just the finish!!
P.S. We must be fated to keep
on meeting like this as I only
came across your site whilst
looking for tips on our next
holiday destination - San Francisco!!
Best wishes and good luck with
your future journeys! |

| Thanks Don, I have received
the tapes as well as the diary
of our marvoulous event. Very
fascinating to read your pages
as they came on the net. Meanwhile
we have read the note's Anton
wrote on the net, the book by
Fritz Walter, the book from
the father and son team in there
Bentley etc. etc. The following
is what happened to, of which
I am sure you are not aware.
Kermit was leading the event
when we set of from Xigaze.
We took a wrong direction and
drove for about one our south
instead of east. All the makrs
