Great weekend and trip but also glad to be home.

Just a funny rattling sound when I tromp on it, but cruised nicely. | | | | | Joined: Aug 2001 Posts: 3,598 Moderator | | Moderator Joined: Aug 2001 Posts: 3,598 | Just got a good nights sleep in Lexington, Va.
Hope to be on the road by 6:30 am Eastern Time and home late, late tonight.
Safe travels everyone.

Ride went fast with great conversation. Spent the night with us and making plans for a night in Cape May and slowly up the New Jersey coast where Tim nj56gmc will take the lead an escort the aussie into New York. It just amazes me how a particular brand of truck can bring so many great people from a many different parts of world together in a little Maryland town!
Much gratitude to John and Peggy for their vision to make this all possible!!!!!

I think Tim is getting an expanded view of the whole thing from your "add ons" with the trip to NYC. That was super nice what he said at the tape toss banquet. I'm glad it was worth his while to travel all this way.
And for all who didn't travel as far, I'm glad you enjoyed yourself. I thought the weather was going to bum us out but you all amaze me! (Plus, I didn't have to go outside!)

I enjoyed talking to you and watching your skill with a gas axe.
I hope to make it back next spring, but it is too far off to commit now.
One other note:
Dan, I met you briefly Sunday morning as I was about to head west.
Hopefully you will be able to attend next year's Homecoming and enjoy all the crazy work that goes on.
