Finally back on a computer so I can post!

Left with the OKI group yesterday morning and got home around 3:00pm. Such an awesome time with great people... I had been away from these events for 5 years and missed it dearly during that time! Thank you to Ken and everyone else who helps to organize this event, including the drive leaders and tailgunners. Glad everyone made it home safely

Now to go through all of these pics...

But yes 200 miles is about all I get from a tank. We would have only had to stop twice if someone had filled up the night before.

The Mid-A mini group (Skyler2K, our FRS and other Red S, and myself) are home safe! We got in last night around 11pm after almost 10 hours and some ballin' MPG. See you all next year

Okay.... after a side trip to the Devil's Triangle again. That 116 is a great drive and not too far out of our way so we ran it Thursday morning on the way down and today on the way home.

Had a great time at RtD 2014.
Already looking forward to next year. Hopefully we will have a few more Canucks with us.
