Man - what a GREAT group of folks! I did Dothan Friday afternoon throuigh Sunday and I wiash I could have stayed on through the week. I can't write with Robin's expertise, so just high points in no particular order:
Everybody making friends with the BWD
Matt Colie walking along loving on the BWD (and vice versa) in Bermudas in the chilly rain. The dog never noticed the rain.
Tech sessions
How quickly a tub of Rabbit Tracks icecream disappeared
Dobbs BBQ
All that food
Fresh popcorn
GMCs of every style and condition
Friendly helpful people - Faces to fit names from the Net
Good response to the flea market items which ginned up just inder $500 for the photo site.
And one low spot:
My camera quit working after 1 snapshot. Fortunately, the photo site has better pictures than I could ever take.
Oh, the trip - 600 odd miles with no problems. Ran it all on no - alcohol gas, looks like just at 9 MPG with the Toadstone behind. Toadstone performed flawlessly also, the new tow clip setup has given no problems nor show any looseness for about 2K miles now. I'm calling it healed. For the northbound portion of the trip last night along U.S. 431, the wind blew us all over the road. Once I turned East on 85 it was almost squarely behind us and a much simpler drive.
For those still there, the gas station - I think Liberty - on Main St in the 1200 block sells all three grades, no alcohol in any of it. They were at 3.54 Sunday evening.

Thanks for coming Johnny and giving a good report. Glad the coach did well for you. Now you see why Teri and I enjoy coming to the conventions. Hope I got a picture of your coach up on the site. So many it is hard for me to get them all. Then, I duplicate others. Can't recall from one day to the next which coaches I have put up.
Got to run, it is another ice cream evening.
