It will be a while before I’m home. Tonight I’m camped at a Flying J near Lincoln. Tomorrow will include a visit to the Museum of American Speed at Speedway. Then heading to the river near Red Wing MN for a few days. Thanks to all who make this event happen. It was a great time and I look forward to next year’s event.
Made it home safely about 11:30pm or so last night. Great time as always with a fantastic group! Thank you Wayne and family for hosting Friday night. Always enjoy the barn tours. Thank you Mongo for hosting Saturday. The salvage yard tour is always a must do experience. Thank you Kevin for the educational plating demonstration. And finally thank you John and Don for schooling me on calipers and micrometers, and advising me on what additional tools I need for a properly equipped shop. (I'm always learning and enjoy it!)
I figured the mileage for the round trip, 2282. (DANG) Still all in all it was worth it. Had Alvin been able able to go I would have been 650 miles more, and a lot quicker if he was driving...

Finally made it back home today about noon. My route home included a road trip north through Minnesota and Michigan. Visited my brother on the Keweenaw Peninsula in UP Michigan. Lots of interesting spots along the way. Highlights include Bruce Horkey Wood and Parts, the Scamp factory, Shipwreck museum, Soo locks, Mackinaw bridge, Henry Ford Museum, and a visit with one of our early customers, Corvette Central in Sawyer Michigan. Final stop was the Gran Prix Revival event in Garnett Kansas. All went well with truck and trailer, distance was 4100 miles.
Don, you posted one in your first post in the pictures thread.

4100 miles and a ton of adventures, sounds like a great trip. Glad you're home safe and sound.
