Lol, Jumbo

5/2006 - Dave gets his S.
9/2006 - Dave goes to the Dragon 1st time, S hits 11k miles.
9/2007 - Dave's S hits 33k miles, again on the Dragon.
4/2008 - Dave's S hits 44k miles, on Rt. 28, 6 miles shy of the Dragon.
9/2008 - ? 55k is certainly not out of the question


Drive it, m'friend! It's a Honda, after all

Sheila and I are home safe and sound. Thanks to everyone who came out and made it such a great event.

I've got pictures I took and from the photo booth to post but my schedule is packed this week. I'll post them as soon as I can.

Thanks again. You're a great group!

It was great to see everyone again.

Looking forward to DBR.

Home...

Nuvi says 473.46 miles with an overall average speed of 54.2 mph. Total time was 8 hours 43 minutes with just over an hour of breaks (brunch and dinner). All and all... Not too shabby considering the off and on heavy rain and all the dern trucks on I-81.

The last few days are among the best in memory. Thanks to you all and ESPECIALLY the event staff. Had an absolute blast. See you next year for sure!
