Made it home safe, had a great time as always. Thanks to Mike and Chris for putting this together, 14 wagons is a good turn out for the first year. I have a few pics to share, will get them up later. Thanks to Tim for his help (and working cable) I got to do my first pcm tune, if you can call adjusting the speedo a fune

Evening Glenn,Ray called me this afternoon and he seems like he is happy about the wheels.Really enjoyed meeting you last night.How far did you get before you had to rest?So much for following me huh,I thought the speed limit thru there was 65 not 70 so I was poking.On the way up the 295 beltway was loaded with cops but not a single one on the way back.Thanks again for meeting me and taking the wheels to Ray.

A very special Thanks to Tim Lil Noel said to me he enjoyed it,Manny said that he will come again. I havnt made it home yet, I took a detour to a dam in Maryland called Dam Four which was breath taking.We actually got to see the fog above the water until the sun came from behind the clouds and then to my uncles house near Baltimore till maybe Tuesday. Thanks to everyone for making this trip a rememorable one for the kids and I.

Glen didn't look like he had ANY signs of road fatigue when we met at my job.
Those amazingly comfortable Bonnies and what not...

I would like to thank Mike and Chris for taking on this event,.... it was fun.
I would also like to thank Tim for letting me stop in and wash my wagon before the drive down. It was great to drive down with him and John. We each had a walkie talkie for the drive and it made the drive go by so fast.
OMG I have to thank both Chrs and Jason for the comic relief. My face was hurt so bad from laughing so much. Val and I both enjoyed our time at TGIFriday's. Sorry we didn't make it out on saturday but we knew we had a long drive home.
All in all it was great meeting everyone again plus all the new guy's I never met before. Val wants her own wagon to drive next year. My brothers LT-1 will have to be our next one.

Nice pics! Look forward to seeing everyone else's pics, and Chris took loads of video so I can't wait to see that all done up nice as he usually does. Another big thank you to Mike and Chris for making the event possible, I really enjoyed it; and the cruise route was excellent, it had some fantastic views. 11 states representing is pretty impressive! I saw some familiar wagons, but mostly it was wagons I had never seen in person before, and people I only knew online. It was nice to put some faces with the names. If you were thinking the drive is too long for a one day thing, think again and go next year. The new faces and cars you see will make the drive well worth it, and I'll definitely go again next year. Also pretty sure I won't miss the show in Florida next year for the same reason. Oh, and thanks to Tim and Dave for correcting my computer so the speedo read right!

You can buy those anywhere, already finished too, literally and figuratively. Unless you're talking about building a Rattus-Roddus Stationus Wagonus? Then all you need is a few cans of flat black spray paint.

There is no way that writing FABULOUS will ever come close to the way you were saying it. That being said Val and I had a FABULOUS time.

Got home late last nite, safe trip. I want to thank Mike and Chris for all their hard work in putting on a great show. Glenn really helped me with parts and advice, so a big thank you to Glenn. I got alot of good information from everyone, so thank you.
The wife and I camped at Andy Guist state park, if anyone is ever in Front Royal and wants to camp that is the place. Great campground.
Will see everyone in NY next year.

People express their artistic talents in different ways,,. some by restoring well used equipment to better than new looks, with different personalized touches,. Others cover everything in flat black paint, and then draw fire on it,. or spend a lot of time building unnecessary but interesting and unique accessories for houses,. Either case people liked to be recognized for their idea's, and their expression of individuality.

Yes, good choice apparently. Looks like we got 2-3 inches of the frozen crap. Of course since all the leaves aren't off the trees yet, a LOT of branches came down. We were without power for 10+ hours here. Just came back on.
When is spring?

A couple of weeks late I know! (sorry) Also sorry for the quick transitions at the beginning. I had to shorten everything down a bit due to file size. Next year I'll get one of those suction cup camera mounts too! LOL!!

And I forgot to post a recipe several asked about... so....
Differences in the version that I made: The recipe calls for three 11 oz. cans of corn per 12 servings; I only used one can. I didn't use the green chiles. Approximately 1/4 of the sour cream was low-fat. Rather than using a fresh jalapeño, I used about six slices of jarred, pickled jalapeño. The recipe calls for 10 oz. of shredded cheddar per 12 servings; I used between 4 and 6 ounces.

I can understand why Mike (DBeaSSt) had a speaking role but why did Chris (SWT SS) get a speaking role. Oh wait it was because it was FABULOUS!
