Melody and I made it home.

Great scenic "long way" home along the parkway, 215 to 276, then back home in Asheville. Thanks to Nicky and family for leading the way!

Chime in when you make it home yourself!

Great 4 days of driving - 725 miles total. Room reserved for the spring.

Just got home...it was a great time even without the s2000 (although I dearly missed it)! Thanks to everyone for making it happen once again. Booked room for the spring event before leaving :-)

Just made it home an hour ago, got stuck south of cincy for 2 hours because of an accident, just turned the car off and got out and chatted up the neighbor cars, cleaned my car a little, had something to eat and date, surfed the net on my phone, took a short nap, then finally drive 5 more hours.

I pulled into the garage at 5:55p. A very long drive after a physically and mentally draining weekend.
I saw Jesse with Rob in the traffic jam! Bummer.

Landed 15 minutes ago. 2100 miles and somehow averaged 31mpg. Silly. Awesome time as always thanks everyone!

I made it home around 4:00. Nothing exciting, just miles and miles of interstate.

Made it home around 6pm yesterday. Took the scenic route with Dad, Justin and Melody. Had fun trying to find gas, some stations had already bagged off all their pumps! Ran into some rain, but nothing major. We had a great time this weekend, and enjoyed spending it with such cool people. Thanks to everyone who has a part in making this such a great event each time. See you in April!
