Thought I would start a post as we have quite a few long distance travelers.

I made it home. Nine hours to get there, 7.5 hours to get back. I did take a 1/2 hour nap on the way out, missed the back up driver.

Made it back today after filling my trailer with a recliner, 800 lbs of pavers and a face cord of wood. She pulled like a boss at 8 mpg through the hills of northern PA. Got my workout loading and unloading!

Glad everyone made it home safely. We pulled into the drive way just after midnight Saturday. Was great seeing everyone.

Tom we all missed your lovely wife...pls give her a hug from us and let her know that shes in our thoughts.

Dave thanks for putting WF together. You did a wonderful job and made it possible for all of us longroof lovers to connect.

Pulled out of Microtel lot at exactly 9 AM......pulled into my driveway in Maine at exactly 5 PM. Cruise control set on 70 all the way, Pandora streaming '80s Summer Hits, couple of rest stops and a stop at the New Hampshire boozeria for replenishments. Great time seeing all the new friends I made last year and new ones this year! Thanx, Dave, for all you do and I'm hoping/planning to be at Hershey in Oct.....actually only a 4-hour drive to that one for me from CT

Made it to Detroit,on to Cleveland tomorrow, then home!
Just wanted to say thanks to everyone for welcoming
my wife and I so warmly. The wagon is touring like it
was new. Also the roads and highways are so much
nicer than ours at home.
P.s. Thanks for the award!
Shamelessly and self sevingly yours,

Made it home safely after... oh wait.  I was already home. It was great to see everyone.  Hopefully I can make it next year, especially if the date is shifted earlier as it was this year.  Donmac: I liked your car so much that I bought one just like it last night- a red 1996 from SC.  I'll pick it up next week.

Dave, the date is always the same. It always was and always will be the last Saturday of July.
It simply makes it easier to plan that way.


The 2016 Wagonfest will be held on July 30,2016


Thanks for your help with the photos.

Historically , the pictures from Wagonfest are always in the Long Roof of the Month thread. You can find them there.

Made it home safely. After 1800 mi. loop
to Auburn Hills MI, then back to Cleveland,
then home through the heart of the Adirondacks.
The wagon ran like a top. Not to mention cheap
gas!(compared to home) Best wishes to all!

He was trying to "look cool" for the photo by the bell. but he truly enjoys being a smart a$$ for the photos.

Seeing the liberty bell was 100 % his idea though. to me it was just a bell with a crack in it. to me seeing Arlington cemetery would be more of a pull for me.

Although I got to see a wagon exhibit at the AACA auto museum in Hershey, the army museum in Carlisle and driving on the blue ridge parkway were more enjoyable for me.
