Wednesday morning bloomed beautiful - cool, crisp and sunny. We enjoyed a great breakfast at Bob Evans then hit the Model A trail going south headed for Virginia. We made very good time rolling through the beautiful country side. We stayed on country roads for the most part until we hit the Country Music Highway - US 23. We passed areas where many country music greats were raised.
By the afternoon, we were back in the mountains and Miz B was starting to struggle with a hot engine. We made it to our hotel and unpacked for the evening. Then it was off again for supper at Applebee's a couple miles down the road. Later, John and I stopped by an auto parts store to pick up a couple bottles of Water Wetter. We decided to drain the radiator of it's coolant and start over with fresh water and just the Water Wetter. The A's tend to run best on plain water. We like to add the Water Wetter to raise the boiling point and it also contains a lubricant and rust preventative. We've had issues in the past with rust flaking off the interior of the block and causing overheating. We still have the Gano filter in the top radiator hose, but didn't check it. It is difficult to remove and replace. We hoped for the best, refilled the radiator, gassed up and went back to the hotel for the night.
