smccoy and Ron home safe after a great breakfast at the Gap with friends, a late lunch at Nantahala Outdoor Center and beautiful drive home with Jamie. Thank you SO much Ken and crew for all your hard work. It was one of the best events yet. After all, "It's all about the people!"

We went around it. My Google navigation beeped at me and turned red and gave me a detour. Don't know how much time it saved us but it was better than working the clutch for 45 minutes.

Aaron, TC and I had a nice drive up 75. Got home at about 5:30, washed the car, and I'm eating dinner now.

Thanks to Ken and all the organizers, and all the drive leaders for another wonderful weekend. See you in September.

Made it home in record time 6.5 hours.

My tired old bones do be wore out.

Had a great time.

Thanks to Ken and Bama for all your work to put together a great event.

Pulled in the driveway at 6:45P after sitting in a traffic backup going into Cincy (about 1/2 hour) and backed up traffic due to an accident north of Columbus (another 1/2 hour).

Thank you to the organisers and the drive leaders. Without you we would have spent the entire weekend just sitting on the porch looking at each other!
