WOW Hiro you definitely get the ass of steel award, but Denny still has the nicest nuts! We made it back last night around 7:30 or so. Had a good drive, met up with a guy and his girl in an NSX on our way back through KY. Made the rest of that part of the drive interesting (and fast). All in all a good easy trip back.

Thanks again to all who made this happen, and all of those who came, another great event. Already looking forward to the next one.

Yeah, for some reason, I felt fine the entire ride home with no fatigue...must have been the granola at breakfast! But my rump and back were definitely hurtin on my ride into Cincy to pick up the caravan...I guess my body was tuned by then for the rest of the usual crazy journey...Logged the usual mileage by the time the weekend was over (not counting the 'pleasure driving' once down there of course):

> Boston to Cincinnati: ~880 mi
> Cincinnati caravan to Dragon/Nantahala: ~350 mi
> Return trip home to Boston: ~980 mi

TOTAL: 2210 mi

I think my S is jealous...or thankful that I let her rest at home for a change!
