Traffic headed eastbound on google maps is jammed up everywhere
We will try and make the Aldersons private show.
But my left leg may play out before we get there.
Now I have to wake Vicki up or just leave without her.
Snoring is loud right now.
Her cookies are in the truck though.

Great food and Friend ship at the Aldersons.
Ron, Chuck, Mike and Pat Wahl were there
Vicki's cookies were a hit and we may not have any left over for Terry.

What a great time and many thanks to the Aldersons for their hospitality. I have met Don and had a couple of Vicki's cookies, I can cross that off my list. See everyone on Saturday

I took 220+ pictures of the trucks that were there. Also, got to meet some really nice Stovebolt folks. It was well worth the trip. The next time I need to come a day early and check out the Thursday evening event. Until next time...

My thoughts are, it was a good day, good turn out and want to thanks every one who helped out today!
Had several first timers and they seemed to enjoy themselves.
Night everyone.

Trip up was ok til KC, then the highway turned into a parking lot. I cannot emphasize enough how much I dislike KC traffic. Reunion was a blast. Lots of visiting and plenty of home made goodies to snack on. Although our numbers were down the show numbers were up. Don, as usual out did himself. I vote he be made permanent Reunion Commandant. Including the appropriate pay grade. The 2 top secret items for the giveaway were well received. If the two individuals who drew the lucky numbers have a "Photo Hosting" site, you have permission from the artist to post images. Show the no shows what they missed.
