I decided not to stop overnight on the way home.That was some long miles.

Great event. Loved seeing old friends and met some super new ones.

Hey, I have an idea. Why not do this again sometime in the Spring.

We made it to Wentzville, MO at about 6:00 eastern time. Good drive with a few rain showers and some construction. It was great seeing everyone.



Is it time to go to RTD '18 yet?

I was home around 1400 (or, if you prefer, 2:00pm). Nice boring trip which are the best kind. Another great time with some really great people.

I turned my 5 hour trip into a 11 hour trip. After a great breakfast with Nicky and Tullie we enjoyed some WNC cruising and then I headed back to Durham via the tobacco fields.

Car has been washed, vacuumed, 303-ed, shin etsu-ed, and rests comfortably.

See you all in the SPRING.

I really enjoyed meeting and driving with you guys. Made it safely back to Columbia Saturday evening. Looking forward to staying the weekend in the Spring for RTD 2018!

Made it home at 3:45. Got 31 MPG on the trip home. Last fill-up was near the Knoxville airport. Made it to the Speedway corporate station in Enon, OH with 2 bars and the gas light on my dash.

What a great weekend with great friends. See some of you at Gettysburg in 2 weeks.
