Vicki and I got home about an hour ago. We were able to visit our old friend in a nursing home this morning and he doesn’t remember the “Fun” he had Friday with one of the other residents. You have to hear the story to understand.

So, please post up when you make it home!!!!

Tim and I got stuck there west bound two years ago. It added at least two hours to the ride back to Missouri.
Had the goose hooked up and it was fun finding our way on city streets, back to the interstate.
Did I ever tell you, We like living rural!

Safe travels and check in when you stop tonight.
You already have left overs for dinner.

Our drive home was uneventful (just the way I like it). We backed the camper into our driveway just about 4:00.

Dad and I made it to Terre Haute, IN last night, and then home by 2pm today.
Another great Stovebolt weekend in the books. We will get some pictures posted up this week.

Got to my house 11:30pm... TUT left few minutes ago after a visit in the shop for a while. He still has a 3-4 hour drive.
Great time by all.

I'd rather walk and carry a Chevy hub cap than ride in a Ferd.
I can explain it to you, but I can't understand it for you smile

Well I finally made it home (1:00 PM Monday). No problems just got called into work to repair the AC, nothing but fun. Alvin loaded me down with goodies from his shop, lots of nice parts and pieces like a complete aluminum driveshaft 😁. I had a great weekend thanks to all of you. I'll post some more pictures later, right now I need a shower and a nap.

Sorry I was not able to make it this year due to medical issues. I was all prepared, even had stuff loaded to head out! From the pictures I've seen looks like you had a good time! I really missed seeing everyone. Mongo's new shop looks great! I did order shirts so Don if you let me know how much I owe I will get a check to you!
Thanks,
Pat Wahl
