The Elky may be gone, but the links to images are still here. Elky was Steve's pride and joy and he spend many an hour working on it.
He only drove it on a few sunny days, avoiding rain and snow. Watch its transformation through pictures. Enjoy.
2006 - We move from North Andover, MA, to Tucson, AZ
Welcome to the Sampson Family Chronicles!
If you've a hunkering for the old wild west, stop in.
In 2006, we decided the New England winters were getting us down. So, between Ebay, our favorite realtor and Craig's List, we
unloaded the house and trappings ... packed up our cowboy boots and drove West. (If you think of trying this,
one tip: you're not as young as you once were. Get hotels each night; don't try to sleep in the car for a fresh start. It
doesn't happen.)
