What a great day!!

Thanks to Chuck for laying out a great course and then taking us off it to get back to Tom's without waiting for the Slowstices.

Thanks to Brian for keeping us on course and for being willing to take on an adventure when the opportunity presented itself!

Thanks to everybody else for making ti a fun day, it is all the little bumps along the road that make it a fun adventure.

Nathan I hope you car is OK, Brian and I were worried the three lost MINIs ended up meeting some locals on the gravel road Brian and I took. It must have been that river gas

 

We took that gravel road too. Jason was third back and at the end was driving a white dust colored MINI. Later he led us and more rutted gravel to see where the airship had gone down.

If y'all noticed the trailer in Ava that was about the airship, that and the Site 1 land is owned and run by the garage / towing company that rescued me. The owner happened to be my driver. His stories made the 100 mile or so drive in the old flatbed with no air and a leaky exhaust fly by.

 

Glad to hear you got back OK Nathan. I hope MAG can get your MINI back on the road quickly.

 

I was wondering how you guys beat my group to Tom's. You guys should have been with us because we were flying.

 

WOW, I can't believe Jason didn't get on the radio and question our road choice. Brian and I commented a few times at how happy we were we didn't have to worry about anybody following us down that road. Did you pop out at the covered bridge? We arrived there just as Chuck past and we followed him the rest of the day.

 

Yup already looking forward to next year. Thanks Chuck, Susan and Bill for planning and laying out this event!!

 

Man, it sounds like I missed a really good one. I don't think I could have handled MM's lunch, but the drive sounds like great fun. Maybe next year, who nows.

Jim next year come down Friday and stay in a hotel (there are a bunch of older British cars that do this.) It is a highlight of every year, great roads, great friends, and always great adventure!

 

I'll have to try and figure out a way to do this.

Way not? I saw pictures of horses on lat years run.

I could go cross country and get everyplace when you do. Some of the pictures of those little towns looked like they might still have hitching posts.

Giddy up Jim.....

 

After I knew it was going to have be towed I got it off the road and onto a path to where there some oil storage tanks in an effort to make pick up easy. There was a bit of mud on one side back there. The mud goes well with the layer of gravel road dust the rest of the car is encased with.

 

MAG will wash your car.... But maybe not yours Nate... Too low?
